What is BBF.398?

In the 2019 Mobile World Congress (MWC 2019), the Broadband Forum (BBF) launched the world’s first in-premises Wi-Fi performance standard—TR-398 (now known as BBF.398). This new standard is established to tackle issues such as slow internet connections, insufficient coverage, and interferences that will affect user experiences.

BBF.398 is the next generation of WT-398 and is mainly established to qualify the performances of 802.11n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6) based routers.

BBF.398 test cases include but are not limited to verify the following 6 aspects:
