The WAVES certification

We don't just install it. We prove it works.

Anyone can hang a camera and plug in a router. WAVES tests every install with professional instruments, documents the evidence, and issues a certificate that tells you exactly what was verified — and how well it performed.

How the certificate reads

Two simple dimensions: scope and grade

Your certificate reads something like "Breaker · Gold." The tier says which systems were in scope; the grade says how well they passed.

Scope — set by your tier

You're only ever tested on what you installed. Each level brings another pillar into scope.

  • Swell — Wireless, Energy, Connectivity
  • Surge — adds Security
  • Breaker — adds Video
  • Riptide — adds Audio + full Energy
  • Tsunami — adds Access Control + continuous assurance

Grade — how well it passed

Every in-scope test has three thresholds. Your grade is the lowest tier every test clears — so the badge is honest.

SILVER

Every in-scope test meets its baseline. Zero critical network vulnerabilities.

GOLD

Silver + dual-path failover, full segmentation, WPA3, ≥60-min power, full coverage.

PLATINUM

Gold + tri-path failover, ≥120-min power, full pen-test clearance & continuous monitoring.

What we actually test

Real tools, real thresholds — across every pillar

A sample of the checks behind your certificate. Every result is measured on-site with named instruments, never inferred from a datasheet.

📶 Wireless

Coverage heatmap (Ekahau / NetAlly), per-zone throughput, WPA3 & guest isolation, rogue-AP & interference scan.

🛡️ Security

VLAN segmentation test, network-edge penetration test (NIST SP 800-115 / OWASP), firmware audit, supervised alarm signaling.

🎥 Video

No-dead-zone coverage check, resolution & frame rate, 30-day encrypted retention, stream-encryption capture.

🔋 Energy

UPS runtime under real load (clamp-metered), power quality & surge protection, battery health, generator failover.

🔊 Audio

SPL balance & coverage (calibrated meter + REW), noise floor / SNR, and a verified emergency-audio override.

🛰️ Connectivity

WAN failover timing, private-VPN & remote-access lockdown, latency/jitter under failover on every path.

AI and automation build the heatmaps, triage the vulnerability scans, and compile the report — a human lead auditor still owns every sign-off.

What you receive

Proof you can hold — and hold us to

Your certification isn't a sticker. It's a documented package that shows exactly what was tested and guaranteed.
