Complete End-To-End Tests

The probe constantly measures the availability and performance of the services and components of the wireless technology stack using scripted tests.
The relevant summary data for each measure is stored in a time series database for rapid and concise visualization. Furthermore, the detailed logs and .pcap files are captured and kept to be readily available for an effective drill down.
The set of predefined scripted tests can be extended, creating new scripts that implement bespoke interactions and validations of the components of the customer architecture, like particular authentication methods or captive portal interactions.

Edge & Cloud

The Edge and Cloud distributed system provides a comprehensive solution for collecting and accessing data.
Data is collected and securely stored in the device's flash memory, then synced to the cloud for secure long storage, aggregation, and easier access.
The user interface (UI) is available on both the cloud and the device, enabling immediate diagnosis and fast data access.
The edge device UI can be accessed directly via several methods, including:

  • RJ45 Ethernet port
  • MicroUSB port as an RNDIS/NCM network device
  • Internal Wi-Fi HotSpot/AP
Cloud syncing occurs over Ethernet, UMTS/LTE, or the device's Wi-Fi connection at the end of the measurement, without requiring any additional link.

Secured Platform

The platform provides state-of-the-art cybersecurity through several features, including:

  • Strong authentication based on digital certificates for secure communication between Edge and Cloud devices
  • Strong encryption with a minimum of 256 bits keys
  • Elliptic curve ciphers to ensure secure communication between Edge and Cloud systems
  • Secure containerization of measurement execution
  • Storage encryption with TPM-based secure boot on Edge devices
  • Access credentials and sensitive data are kept entirely inaccessible, even in the event of physical tampering on the Edge devices.
With multiple layers of security measures in place, the system guarantees the protection and security of your company's information at all times.

Statistics and Machine Learning

The diagnostics of Wi-Fi services can be complex and time-consuming, as they depend on the correct operation of several components, including hardware and software.
WiFiProbe streamlines this process by mapping collected data points to a comprehensive ontology and applying statistical analysis and machine learning techniques to identify trends and anomalies.
WiFiProbe provides rapid ocused anomaly identification so that it can be assigned to the appropriate team for resolution, leading to a deeper understanding of the overall system and lowering operational costs.

Integrations

Organizations with extensive IT systems have often set up Operation Centers with specific software and procedures.
WiFiProbe is straightforward to integrate with the existing systems, and its test results can be pushed directly to the Operation Center while allowing for detailed drill-down when needed.
While a modern interface like OpenTelemetry is the preferred integration tool, WiFiProbe also supports legacy methods such as:

  • SNMP polls and traps
  • syslog messages
  • custom mail messages (SMTP)
  • custom SOAP WSDL
  • SMS
  • JSON API
This flexible integration approach ensures WiFiProbe can work effectively in any IT environment.
