Wireless equipments choosing help needed

Hi,
My name is Saeesh Pai Vaidya & I work in D-Link india Ltd as senior engineer R&D department.We are in process of developing an Wireless router so i wanted to buy the wireless testing tools for the same.
I wanted to know wether the IXIA IXWLAN Tool can alone be sufficient for the same ,I want to note the RF parameters readings like the TX & RX signal readings (in d also in addition i want to sniff the wirelesspackets & check them for various parametrers can IXIA IXWLAN tester alone be sufficient to achieve this ????
One more probable solution i found was using Agilent N4010 Wireless testing suit plue 2.4Ghz WLAN testing module for testing RF section also using Aeronet wireless sniffer (AiroPeek SE) to sniff wireless packets ..

can anybody advise me which will be the best cost effective solution which will help me to test my Wireless router for all these parameters.
if has any better suggestion or advise Please mail me at : saeeshv@dlink.co.in

Thanks in Advance

Saeesh,

The IxWLAN will provide you with an excellent tool for testing signal strength, errors, retransmissions, etc. while also emulating up to 128 virtual wireless stations on three independent radios. It does not include a packet sniffer but we can recommend several solutions that will fit with the IxWLAN tool. I would also strongly recommend the IxChariot software package which is the tool-of-choice for generating traffic in wireless test labs. IxChariot is available in a bundled kit with the IxWLAN hardware.
