2021 Innovation of the Year Award
Award Winner: WLAN Pi
One of the problems with trying to find a small platform on which to install performance testing software is that it needs to have enough performance to make it worthwhile. A limiting factor of most of the single board computer options, like the Raspberry Pi, is that very few can actually push anything close to a gigabit of throughput, even if they have a gigabit Ethernet interface. They just lack the horsepower. - Enter the WLAN Pi. It changes all that!
The WLAN Pi is a portable wireless analysis and performance testing device. It is a single board computer with a gigabit Ethernet interface that can push almost 900Mbps! This provides a great platform for testing throughput of both wired and wireless networks. There is nothing else like it.
