Our latest hardware platform for CDRouter, the NTA3000, is now available and supported by CDRouter 14.3. The NTA3000 is our most advanced platform yet, with more 10G Ethernet ports, support for Wi-Fi 7, and a number of other key features. This is our platform for the future of CDRouter and makes it easier for us to deliver better testing for your advanced broadband CPE and Wi-Fi devices under test.
