The Frontline X500 Wireless Protocol Analyzer is the most versatile wireless analysis tool in the industry, boasting support not just for all released Bluetooth BR/EDR and Low Energy profiles and protocols, but for 802.15.4-based protocols like Matter, Thread and Zigbee, and all of the latest Wi-Fi technologies including Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, which extends Wi-Fi technology into the 6GHz ISM band. Add to that RF spectrum analysis, mesh analysis, and support for 24 channel logic analysis and antenna diversity capability, the X500 is truly the right tool for EVERY wireless analysis job.

The Frontline X500 comes equipped with Excursion Mode, which allows the user to capture everything in the air at the push of a button, without any PC attached. The system also supports time-correlated operation and capture with other Teledyne LeCroy Protocol Analyzer industry leading tools, using the proprietary CATC Sync connectivity and CrossSync Software.

The integrated Bluetooth Audio Expert System is the first and only analysis tool on the market to combine audio analysis with Bluetooth protocol analysis, allowing developers to quickly pinpoint the root cause of a wide array of Bluetooth protocol-related audio problems.

The Frontline X500 Spectrum Analysis feature provides an RF heat map of the entire 2.4GHz ISM Band in Wireless Protocol Suite software. This enables the user to view time-synced captured wireless packets overlaid on top of the captured RF energy within the test environment. Signal strength (RSSI) is displayed when the user hovers over captured RF energy. With this data you can see how multiple technologies coexist in the Coexistence view.

The Spectrum Analysis feature and Coexistence view enables the user to identify RF interference and understand how their wireless devices operate effectively in the crowded 2.4GHz ISM band.

Teledyne LeCroy’s Wireless Protocol Suite combines Frontline’s decades of protocol analysis experience and up-to-the moment spec support with a streamlined interface, bringing all analysis tools into a single dockable framework that can be customized to your own preferred way of working and evaluating information. When paired with Teledyne LeCroy’s uniquely portable and configurable family of wireless protocol analyzers, the Wireless Protocol Suite delivers a world class software experience to anyone working with technologies that utilize the 2.4GHz ISM band.
