QA Cafe announces new era in broadband network testing

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS: As broadband becomes the premier service delivery platform of the 21st century with over 700 million subscribers worldwide, testing of broadband networks has never been more important to ensure the quality of customer experience and reduce service calls.

With devices becoming more mobile and cloud dependent and testing today’s broadband networks becoming increasingly complex, QA Cafe IP Test Solutions has announced a new era in testing of broadband networks with the release of its CDRouter Live, ahead of this month’s Broadband World Forum (21-23 October, Amsterdam).

A change in paradigm from traditional isolated laboratory testing, CDRouter Live lets vendors, providers, and their QA teams perform real-world, end-to-end testing of broadband devices in a live network.

“The reality is that laboratory testing will only go so far,” said Joe McEachern, CEO of QA Cafe. “There comes a time when you need to connect to your production network to find out how it’s really going to work for your customers. However, vendors and providers still want the control and automation of a lab environment when testing in a live network.”

The release of CDRouter Live is the latest achievement for QA Cafe, creator of the already popular CDRouter test platform, which has become the de-facto industry standard test platform for broadband devices.
