Alethea Communications Technologies, a leader in wireless test and measurement solutions, has announced WiCheck for Wi-Fi Validation in Test Houses, a modular, automated solution designed for service providers to validate real-world residential Wi-Fi experience and assure optimal performance and customer experience.

Why it matters

As Wi-Fi 7 deployments accelerate globally and grow in complexity, service providers are building Test Houses to reproduce residential environments and identify issues earlier in development. Test Houses augment lab testing by capturing the structural diversity, device heterogeneity, and environmental variability that can impact customer experience. WiCheck ensures continuity by providing a consistent test methodology that enables controlled, repeatable, and scalable testing from the lab into the Test House.

The details

WiCheck for Wi-Fi Validation in Test Houses unifies orchestration of emulated and real devices, enabling service providers to load access points with 1,500+ tri-band Wi-Fi 7 clients, coordinate hundreds of real devices, and introduce programmable RF interference. The solution evaluates true customer experience across video streaming, conferencing, IoT reliability, and roaming behavior, while capturing synchronized KPIs, heatmaps, and regression data across multi-room and multi-floor residential environments.

What they’re saying

“At the core of the Denver Test House is the integration of the WiCheck/Ares Test Bed, combining a widely trusted, industry-standard test solution Alethea WiCheck with Sercomm Ares, the company's software for test planning and evidence management. This foundation enables partners to build realistic scenarios and review results in a consistent, shareable way across engineering, product, and operations teams. We built on tools the industry already trusts.”

“As service providers adopt Wi-Fi 7 and incorporate Test Houses as part of their validation process, the need for repeatability, automation, and actionable data is critical. WiCheck enables teams to measure experience where it matters inside real homes bridging lab validation with real-world deployment.”

— Ramakrishna Chikkala, VP Products at Alethea Communications Technologies (EINPresswire.com)

What’s next

WiCheck for Wi-Fi Validation in Test Houses is now deployed at several global service providers, helping to accelerate product rollouts, reduce customer complaints, and ensure consistent Wi-Fi 7 performance at scale.

The takeaway

Alethea's WiCheck solution provides service providers with a consistent test methodology that enables controlled, repeatable, and scalable testing from the lab into the Test House, allowing them to identify coverage gaps, roaming failures, and performance regressions early before they impact customer satisfaction or result in costly field escalations.
