With a multitude of WR-compatible hardwares and WR vendors, the following questions repeat:

• WR users:
  • how do we know that a given WR hardware provides sub-ns accuracy?
  • how do we know whether WR device from vendor A and B interoperate?
  • how do we know which WR devices are proprietary and which are open-source?
• WR vendors:
  • how do we test?
  • how do we calibrate?
  • how do we ensure that our device is compatible with other devices?

To ensure the quality, conformance and performance of products embedding the WR Technology and eventually for them to benefit of the status of Qualified Product, members can test their products in an Associated Lab of the Collaboration. A new and separate test shall be required for each device model and each time there is a significant update to the firmware/software/behaviour.

The scope and procedures of the tests, including the definition of “significant updates” shall be established by the collaboration in 2024. The same openly available and constantly refined tests will be performed by all the Associated Labs.

Become a member if you would like to take part of the discussions that lead to the definition of the tests.
