5. What does the LoRaWAN™ certification test and what does it not test?
The LoRaWAN™ certification tests for end node functionality, in other words it tests that node's LoRaWAN™ protocol stack and application are compliant with the LoRaWAN™ specification. The certification does not cover radio performance. Radio performance includes things such as the radiated power, radio sensitivity etc. These are key parameters for good performance when signal strength is weak.

If you book a time for certification and provide the product to be tested, typically the test results may be delivered within one week from the booked date.
