Adaura Technologies

What Adaura Technologies does

Adaura Technologies, LLC is a Roseville, California-based designer and manufacturer of programmable RF (radio frequency) attenuators used to test, validate, and calibrate wireless devices. Founded in 2013 by RF, microwave, and systems automation professionals, the company builds benchtop units ranging from 1 to 8 channels (R3 and R4 series), rackmount arrays scaling from 10 to 512 channels, and dedicated Handover Test Systems (HTS) for simulating real-world channel fading. Its core technical differentiator is a patent-pending chain-to-chain isolation design exceeding 100dB, combined with multi-platform control (USB, Ethernet, Telnet, HTTP web interface), Power-over-Ethernet capability, and precision step sizes as fine as 0.05dB across frequency ranges up to 8GHz. The company claims MTBF exceeding 750,000 hours on the R3 series and serves customers on four continents across aerospace/government (NASA JPL), wireless networking (Mimosa Networks, Quantenna), and industrial wireless (GE MDS, GE) end markets.

The business is a pure hardware sales model with one-time unit purchases, complemented by a 2-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee. Pricing is transparent and ranges from $550 for entry-level 1-channel benchtop units to $34,950 for 64-channel rackmount systems, with custom configurations and HTS deals handled via a formal quotation process. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct e-commerce for standard products, a global authorized distributor network covering Japan, Ukraine, France, Taiwan, India, Germany/Austria, and Denmark, and an enterprise sales motion for rackmount, custom, and HTS solutions. Strategic partnerships — notably with Candela Technologies for complete wireless test systems — broaden the addressable sale from a discrete component to an integrated test platform. Adaura Technologies is privately held, founder/CEO-led (Blaise Yen), operates with 1–10 employees across Roseville and Carlsbad manufacturing sites, and has no disclosed institutional funding.

Core offering

Adaura Technologies designs, manufactures, and sells programmable RF attenuators and wireless testing equipment for the development, validation, and manufacturing testing of wireless and IoT devices. Its product portfolio spans benchtop attenuators (1-8 channels), high-density rackmount attenuator systems (10-512 channels), handover test systems for channel fading simulation, and related accessories. The company emphasizes high performance (over 100dB chain-to-chain isolation, 0.05dB step resolution, frequency coverage up to 8GHz) at price points accessible to startups as well as large OEMs.

Product overview

Adaura Technologies offers a comprehensive portfolio of programmable RF attenuators and wireless test equipment, primarily categorized into benchtop attenuators, rackmount attenuator systems, handover test systems, and accessories. The core R3 Series benchtop attenuators range from 1 to 8 channels with frequency coverage from 5MHz to 10GHz, offering 95dB or 120dB dynamic range with USB/Ethernet control. The newer R4 Series provides higher performance with 0.05dB step resolution and extended frequency ranges. Rackmount systems scale from 10 to 512 channels for large-scale MIMO testing. Handover Test Systems enable channel fading simulation with multiple RF input/output configurations. Accessories include USB Control Hubs for device management and RF Power Dividers for signal distribution. Customized solutions and a partnership with Candela Technologies complete the offering for complete wireless test systems.
