Anritsu Company has introduced an option that evaluates the radio frequency (RF) transmit and receive characteristics of 2×2 MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) as defined in IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) for its Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A (WLAN Tester). With this new expanded capability, the MT8862A supports to measure the receive sensitivity and transmit power of devices supporting Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO, using the network mode, which allows devices to be evaluated under real-world operating conditions, thus helping to improve the communication quality of WLAN-equipped devices.

"As organisations refine their cloud strategies, it is likely we will see a trend of selective repatriation in 2025. Businesses will assess workloads individually, repatriating only those that benefit from in-house control while maintaining the rest in the cloud. Whether cloud repatriation becomes a widespread trend or remains limited to specific use cases, one thing is certain: the conversation around cloud strategy is evolving. As companies plan for the future, they will need to weigh the benefits of cloud flexibility against the control and cost advantages of private infrastructure, and find the balance that best suits their unique needs." - Neelesh Kripalani, Chief Technology Officer, Clover Infotech
