In early 2018, THE DFS PROJECT was born out of a conversation around the Wi-Fi industry’s need to validate DFS functionality in the field. After over a year of research, testing, and on-going discussions, version 2 of the WifiMETRIX handheld, diagnostic instrument was born. Now you can create picture-perfect DFS events in the field, exactly as the regulatory bodies test Wi-Fi access points in a lab.
