EXFO’s W2 CM blade provides unmatched capabilities for userplane testing, both in terms of performance and capacity, as well a unique wireless-focused feature set. This is made possible thanks to an architecture based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). FPGAs are Integrated Circuits that can be customized for different applications through a Hardware Description Language (HDL). Put simply: They provide the speed and performance of a hardware-based solution, but also the ability to add unique and specialized features made possible only through FPGA programmability.
