Testing WiFi in aircrafts - Test An Access Point In The LAB With WiCheck

The need to be Always Connected is the norm across business and consumer segments. Ubiquitous connectivity is no longer a luxury, it’s a basic need even in the SKY.

Welcome to the world of connected aircraft… Where staying connected via WiFi at 36,000 feet is the new hot meal

A leading airline connectivity provider recently reported that:

Over 75% of the airline passengers value reliability of WiFi connection over price

Over 60% of consumers demand better quality of experience for videos

Over 80% of the consumers face issues in coverage, speed & quality of connection

This demands an answer to the questions:

How will you know if your passengers will be happy with your WiFi network?
Is your system on board capable of streaming videos to 100s of PEDs?
Are you able to figure out potential issues BEFORE passengers complain?

Do you know the MOST EFFICIENT APPROACH to Test & Validate AP?

SWAT WiCheck from Alethea will be the answer!

What does WiCheck do?

SWAT WiCheck is a modular and programmable multi-client simulator that emulates 100s of PED’s, runs real applications, has exhaustive security test options, streams DRM videos & replicates real user behaviour. All this is packaged in a box small enough to be moved around with ease.

SWAT WiCheck helps you to

Validate user login options exhaustively through measuring connection speeds, network response, login time, captive portal page load time, user categories, user rights and more
Test the passenger experience for multiple simultaneous application traffic streams including browsing, social media and VPN connections
Test video streaming with metrics on buffering duration, playback interruptions, download time and more

Testing your access point in the LAB using WiCheck will help you to find the bugs and performance issues BEFORE Passengers find them. And, we don’t need to tell you that finding the issues in the lab before the release goes on air will save you significant effort, 1000s of dollars, and brand equity
