Ixia Acquiring Smart Device Testing Firm

Network testing firm Ixia has signed an agreement to acquire a company that does testing for Wi-Fi enabled devices in a move to capture more of that fast-growing market. Terms of the deal between Calabasas-based Ixia and VeriWave Inc. were not disclosed. VeriWave wireless testing validates Wi-Fi networks, smart devices, and applications by benchmarking and measuring speed, quality, interoperability, compliance, and other pivotal aspects of wireless performance. Device manufacturers and carriers are looking for a full-set of testing capabilities for converged Wi-Fi, wired, and 3G/4G ecosystems — especially for video-savvy applications, said Ixia President and CEO Atul Bhatnagar. “By integrating VeriWave’s portfolio of innovative Wi-Fi testing solutions, Ixia will help ensure that carriers, multi-system operators, enterprises, and network equipment manufacturers are able to fully support media-rich applications running on all types of wireless smart devices,” Bhatnagar said.
