QA Cafe Expands CDRouter with New Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate Testing Capabilities
Wednesday, March 26, 2025
Cost-effective Wi-Fi performance testing is now possible for vendors, OEMs, and operators building Wi-Fi routers and APs
DOVER, N.H., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- QA Cafe, a leading provider of network test solutions, has launched the Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate Expansion for its flagship automated test platform, CDRouter. This new expansion simplifies Wi-Fi performance validation for Wi-Fi gateways and APs, allowing developers and QA teams to perform critical Range vs. Rate (RvR) testing with integrated, automated programmable attenuators - all within the CDRouter ecosystem.
Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate (RvR) testing is a key benchmark for evaluating real-world Wi-Fi performance and is a foundational test in Broadband Forum's TR-398 certification. However, existing high-end Wi-Fi test solutions are often too complex and costly for routine validation, making it difficult for Wi-Fi vendors and service providers to integrate RvR testing into day-to-day workflows.
"With the CDRouter Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate Expansion, we are addressing a critical need in the industry: an automated, cost-effective, and streamlined way to conduct RvR testing," said Erica Johnson, CEO of QA Cafe. "Our customers need a solution that fits into their continuous integration and testing pipelines without the overhead of certification-grade testbeds. This expansion provides repeatable, real-world Wi-Fi performance validation all within the industry standard platform for CPE testing."
Key benefits of the Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate Expansion
-- Integrated and automated - CDRouter directly controls included
programmable attenuators, eliminating the need for separate tools or
manual configurations.
-- Built for regular validation - Avoid the expense and complexity of
large-scale Wi-Fi test platforms while maintaining accurate and
repeatable performance insights.
-- Repeatable and standardized: Automate RvR tests based on the TR-398
methodology with clear pass/fail performance metrics, ensuring
consistent validation across firmware versions, product lines, and
teams.
Bringing Wi-Fi performance testing into the development cycle
CDRouter's Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate Expansion is built for continuous performance validation, unlike traditional Wi-Fi test platforms designed for hardware development and certification. It allows teams to:
-- Identify performance regressions before they impact end users.
-- Validate firmware updates and new hardware revisions efficiently.
-- Ensure long-term Wi-Fi stability under real-world conditions.
"This expansion is a game-changer for developers and service providers who need a practical, scalable, and automated way to measure Wi-Fi performance," said Johnson. "By integrating RvR testing into CDRouter, we're helping our customers optimize their devices for real-world deployment while simplifying their testing workflows."
The Wi-Fi Range vs. Rate Expansion is now available as an add-on to CDRouter.
