Hi all,
What a year it has been for the networking world! As we close out 2024 and the snow starts to fall here in Dover, New Hampshire, here is a special message from our CEO, Erica Johnson:
“We have had an incredibly productive 2024 at QA Cafe. We launched our most powerful CDRouter platform to date - the NTA3000 - which, coupled with support for Wi-Fi 7, was hard for us to keep on the shelves! We are always inspired by our customers' dedication to bringing quality products with the latest technology to the industry, and we are equally inspired to be a part of it.
We also saw the launch of Packet Viewer, our out-of-the-box OEM solution for anyone to add packet capture analysis capabilities to their product, with Cisco Meraki as our first major success story. We even used it ourselves, updating both CDRouter and CloudShark to natively use Packet Viewer!
But the biggest value for us in 2024 has been the collaborative open-source broadband community, with QA Cafe working closely with the RDK-B project, prpl Foundation, and Broadband Forum to create well-tested, standardized platforms for operators to deliver better service to consumers than ever before. Thank you to all - our partners, customers, and employees - who have helped make that possible. Have a happy, safe, and prosperous new year!”
Thanks, Erica! Here’s some of the latest news from the last few months at QA Cafe:
