VeriWave, Inc., the leading provider of performance analysis tools for wireless local area network (WLAN) devices and networks, today announced that Colubris Networks has chosen VeriWave to provide wireless local area network (WLAN) test equipment for its development and quality assurance labs. Colubris chose VeriWave’s WaveTest™ Traffic Generator/Performance Analyzer to enhance the quality and conduct performance testing of its WiFi secure access devices.
“We are committed to providing the highest quality multi-service WLAN network solutions,” said John O’Hara, vice president of engineering, Colubris Networks. “As part of this commitment, we looked for the leading test equipment for WLANs that will allow us to validate the multi-service capabilities of our products, and specifically, its handling of voice and data traffic in a mixed network. We found VeriWave to be a leader in WLAN testing with its traffic generator / performance analyzer and with its ability to measure performance of such complex protocols as VoIP.”
VeriWave’s WaveTest Traffic Generator / Performance Analyzer, in conjunction with the VoIP over WLAN Analysis Test Suite, is the only WLAN test system on the market that provides performance validation and of real VoIP over WLAN networks. The WaveTest provides unprecedented insight into the performance of the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN devices with high-precision accuracy achieved through the use of a custom MAC.
The VoIP over WLAN Analysis Test Suite, used by Colubris, measures key values for VoIP traffic over WLAN, such as R-value (an ITU standard for voice quality measurement), delay, and jitter. In addition, the WaveTest system generates background test traffic, including error injection to simulate real-world traffic conditions. With its support of test automation, the WaveTest system ensures repeatable results and substantially reduces testing time.
“We are happy to assist Colubris in enhancing the quality of its enterprise-class, multi-service access devices,” said Eran Karoly, vice president of marketing, VeriWave. “VeriWave is committed to providing a comprehensive set of testing tools to wireless LAN developers, QA testers, and manufacturing environments. WaveTest continues to be recognized as the leading test system for WLAN system developers such as Colubris and by industry labs all over the country.”
