3-in-1 Network
Emulation Solutions

Consumers are demanding smarter, safer and more connected vehicles. The pressure to deliver these advanced infotainment, collision avoidance and driver assistance features while maintaining costs has created a tremendous challenge.

In pursuit of these new, bandwidth hungry and latency sensitive devices or applications, the automotive industry is moving rapidly to adopt Ethernet's scalable and flexible networking technology. Aukua Systems is working with leading Automotive semiconductor companies, Tier 1 suppliers and OEM Manufacturers to develop new test tools to help them get to market faster, with less risk and with more robust and competitive products.

As Broadcasters move from legacy dedicated transport systems like SDI to delivering media over multi-purpose IP networks, they face new challenges. This is also true for the fast-growing and highly competitive OTT streaming service market. IP-based networks can be unpredictable, introducing variable latency, packet loss, and other bandwidth congestion effects to which real-time video and voice applications are very sensitive and media quality is negatively impacted.

To reduce risk, it is imperative that these new IP-based broadcast technologies like ATSC 3.0 (NextGenTV), as well as encoding and transmission standards such as SMPTE 2110, SMPTE 2022, NDI, SRT, RIST, DASH, etc., are tested under real-world network conditions before going live. This ensures Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) for end customers.

Aukua's cutting-edge testing solution for Broadcast and Media Streaming enables companies to rigorously and empirically evaluate QoE in the face of real-world IP network conditions, allowing them to quickly identify and address issues before they impact viewers.

Defence and military organisations understand that modern information technology and network communication systems are critical to achieving operational objectives. They create tactical advantage by enabling effective command and control through enhanced real-time situational awareness. This need for reliable, high performing communication systems is not limited to front line battlefield operations, but also extends into other key areas such as facility security, managing environmental systems, military logistics systems, and much more.

Military tactical networks are complex, rapidly evolving and heterogeneous, comprising of many technologies and systems including LEO satellite constellations, 4G/5G mobile networks, line-of-site airborne systems, and many vehicle mounted or hand-held radios, phones and tablet devices.

In mission-critical situations where lives are at stake, it is of paramount importance that communications are reliable and secure, even under extreme network conditions with large latency, low bandwidth and sometimes intermittent connections. Aukua helps you verify performance and reliability of these systems.

Enterprise businesses rely more than ever on networked applications for internal or external collaboration, delivering end-customer services, monitoring remote sensor data in realtime, accessing storage data or leveraging cloud-based computing power. These business and mission critical applications are constantly growing and evolving. IT organisations are tasked with the reliable operation of these applications and the security of their data. This can be a daunting and costly challenge for any organisation. Fortunately, Aukua's Ethernet and Fibre Channel visibility and test solutions can help.

With Aukua's Ethernet Network Impairment Emulators and Fibre Channel SAN Distance Emulators, you can accurately prove an applications' performance under virtually any real-world network delay, bandwidth or impaired conditions before deploying a new cloud-based service, or migrating or relocating a data centre.

By proving end-user experience before you deploy, you prevent expensive downtime, ensure customer satisfaction, and eliminate overinvestment in SLAs with unnecessary bandwidth or latency criteria, ultimately reducing both project and on-going operational costs.

Enterprise IT organizations are tasked with the reliable operation of mission and business critical network-based applications and the security of their data. This is a complex and costly challenge for any organisation.

Whether you are evaluating new "next generation" Intrusion Prevention Solutions (NG-IPS) or Firewalls (NG-FW), conducting performance testing prior to moving a key business application to the cloud, or preparing for a complex datacentre migration project, Aukua's unique 3-in-1 test and visibility solutions can help!

5G mobile technology promises to support the demand for higher bandwidth services, lower latency requirements, and to cope with the rapidly rising number of devices connecting to the network. To meet this challenge, while also reducing deployment costs, operational costs and increasing flexibility, 5G networks utilize an open model of the Radio Access Network (RAN). This splits functions between the Centralized Unit (CU), Distributed Unit (DU) and the Radio Unit (RU), and the O-RAN Alliance was formed to create open interface specifications.

In addition, the RAN is moving to a packet switched architecture to increase bandwidth efficiency and add flexibility. These packet-based networks like Ethernet introduce new issues such as delay variation and packet loss, causing problems with timing protocols and latency sensitive applications being transported over the RAN. For this reason, the RAN hardware and applications running over the RAN must be thoroughly tested and qualified while under the presence of real-world network delay and impairments.

SD-WAN is a software-defined WAN architecture that simplifies policy management, leverages lower-cost broadband and mobile internet access, and provides dynamic application-aware capabilities. The benefits of SD-WAN include more efficient use of available bandwidth for better end-user experience, increased enterprise productivity, all while hopefully lowering costs.

But how do you properly evaluate competing SD-WAN solutions? And how can you ensure your mission and business critical applications will perform to expected levels after deploying SD-WAN?

From proof of concept to post-deployment, Aukua's unique test and troubleshooting capabilities help our customers address questions like these while considering real-world network delay and congestion conditions in the lab.
