eMetric
eMetric is a suite of software tools and hardware platforms designed to automatically measure and report on network performance.
Available as a small, low-cost, self-contained device, eMetric hardware makes it possible to gain detailed insight into any kind of network.
Some eMetric tools and functionality are available as a Java software applet ensuring limited impost and “touch” on the end-users systems. Every eMetric unit has been purpose designed to measure a diverse range of critical networking and predominantly broadband performance characteristics. The devices can discreetly test for metrics such as network performance (single- and multi-threaded download and upload speed); network latency; network availability; webpage load speeds; voice and video quality of service; and remote network monitoring (end-user and service provider). Enex TestLab prides themselves on their flexibility and regularly engage with clients to custom develop specific modules to suit the project requirements. Enex are a global professional testing services enterprise, not a hardware or software vendor bent on developing a product to “shift boxes”. Enex TestLab has invested internally in the resources and skills to continuously develop, maintain and deploy the eMetric product set as a tool enabling Enex to deliver robust, reliable, accurate and independent testing services and reports.
eMetric can be applied in a variety of ways. Examples range from secure corporate networks – testing for bottlenecks, to national ISP broadband project, testing end-user quality of service and performance metrics.
In the broadband realm alone, the insight provided by eMetric creates enormous opportunities for saving money and reducing risk.
For example, from a government viewpoint, eMetric can help ensure public money is appropriately invested in network infrastructure and that parties involved are consistently delivering services. From an end-user or ISP point of view, eMetric can help ensure services levels are appropriate and charged fairly.
From a regulatory perspective enforcement agencies can be assured that service providers are delivering the services chartered under industry codes of conduct and consumer and competition agencies can ensure service providers are in compliance with any advertising standards and trade practice acts.
eMetric is delivery technology agnostic and is suitable for any kind of network, including broadband networks, DSL, 3G, LTE, fibre, HFC, copper, satellite and even secure corporate networks (LANs, MANs, WANs, Intranets). Operating across any standards and protocols.
The simple, discreet eMetric devices provide maximum test functionality and data, without impacting on end-users or the network.
