SGS Launches TR-398 Wi-Fi Pre-Testing Service

SGS, the world's leading inspection, testing, and certification organization, officially announces the launch of the Broadband Forum (BBF) TR-398 Wi-Fi In-Premises Performance Testing pre-certification service offered by the SGS TW Wireless Laboratory.

Designed specifically for Wi-Fi equipment manufacturers, this TR-398 service helps clients quickly understand performance during the product development phase. It prevents performance mismatches before formal operator validation, enabling faster, more stable, and more confident product launches.

 

Pre-emptively achieve master quality and accelerate product launch

TR-398, a scientifically quantified benchmark for home Wi-Fi performance jointly developed by major global service providers and the Broadband Forum, addresses the historical lack of unified comparison standards for Wi-Fi performance.

SGS's newly launched TR-398 pre-testing service helps clients calibrate their performance against international standards early in the product lifecycle.

• Reducing the risk of formal certification failure
• Significantly shortening the development-to-market timeline
• Enhance competitive strength in telecom operator partnerships.

 

6 Key Performance Metrics for Comprehensive User Experience Validation

SGS's TR-398 pre-testing service scientifically validates multiple core Wi-Fi device performance metrics. These metrics include:

1. Receive sensitivity: Device reception capability under weak signal conditions
2. Throughput: Data transmission efficiency across varying environments and conditions.
3. Coverage: Testing signal strength, distribution, and consistency
4. Multi-user support: Maintaining performance during simultaneous multi-device connections
5. Interference resistance: Stability under external signal interference
6. Stability/durability: Reliability assessment during extended operation under high load

This testing suite allows clients to gain a comprehensive understanding of real-world Wi-Fi performance and proactively address weaknesses.
