Anyone can say the Wi-Fi is fine. We measure it and hand you the numbers.
Technology work is mostly invisible, which makes it easy to do badly and hard to check. Every WAVES build ends with a graded certificate assembled from readings we actually took — and re-run on schedule.
Your certificate reads something like "Breaker · Gold"
The level says which systems were in scope; the grade says how well they passed.
Swell
Wireless, Energy, Safety
Surge
Adds Connectivity & failover
Breaker
Adds Video — displays and sources
Riptide
Adds Audio, and full Energy
Tsunami
Adds the third path and continuous assurance
Silver, Gold, Platinum — earned, not assumed
Every in-scope test meets its baseline. Firmware current, default credentials gone, admin access restricted.
Silver, plus a second internet path with measured failover, full segmentation, WPA3 throughout, at least 60 minutes of battery runtime, and no coverage gaps.
Gold, plus a third independent path, at least 120 minutes of runtime, 24/7 monitoring and quarterly re-testing.
Six categories, measured with real instruments
📶 Wireless
Coverage measured across every occupied area, throughput checked zone by zone, WPA3 and guest isolation confirmed, and a scan for interference and unknown access points.
🛰️ Connectivity
Each internet path proved individually, then the primary deliberately cut and the switchover timed. Latency and stability recorded on every path, and remote access confirmed locked down.
🎥 Video
Every display driven from every intended source, switching and resolution verified at each position, and control tested by someone who wasn't the installer.
🔊 Audio
Level balance and coverage checked zone by zone with a calibrated meter, sync between zones confirmed, and source control tested from each room.
🔋 Energy
Battery runtime measured by discharging under the real load of your equipment — not read off the box. Battery health and surge protection checked at the same time.
🛡️ Safety
Segmentation proved by trying to cross between networks, filtering policy confirmed live, firmware inventoried, default credentials removed, and admin access restricted and recorded.
