NTA1000 Versions
NTA1000v7M
The NTA1000 hardware platform evolved over many years to support new features and functionality in CDRouter. The most recent version of the NTA1000 is the NTA1000v7M. Please be aware that there is now an NTA3000 platform with significant upgrades to all NTA1000 systems.
Older versions of the NTA1000 that have reached their end of life can be found here.
NTA1000v7M configurations
The NTA1000v7M came in either the S or the 10G configuration. The S configuration packs in 3 wireless interface cards, all available for wireless testing. The 10G option comes with 2 wireless interface cards and a dual port 10Gb/s Ethernet card.
The newest NTA1000v7 systems have an “M” designation and use the AsiaRF AW7915-NP1 wireless 802.11ax card: NTA1000v7M-S, NTA1000v7M-10G. The update to the AsiaRF AW7915-NP1 allows CDRouter to simulate multiple virtual 802.11ax clients during testing.
