Bringing Reality to Private 5G Testbeds (and Other Networks)
5G promises to significantly improve network performance by providing higher bandwidth and lower latency. The reality is that just like its predecessor there will be occasions when 5G is imperfect or other networks will impair application performance. Join this webinar to learn how you can enhance your test setup to ensure that your 5G-enabled products are Network Ready.
In this webinar, David Roberts, CTO Special Projects, CW outlines examples of how the CW private 5G testbed provides a controlled and predictable environment in which companies can develop and test next-generation, 5G-enabled products.
We will then examine the role iTrinegy Software Defined Test Network technology is playing, within the CW Testbed, in modeling real-world networks so that companies fully understand the level of network performance variance their 5G offering can tolerate. Adopting this approach has enabled organizations to identify and remedy defects earlier in the development cycle, leading to improved product quality and significant cost savings including reducing the need for multiple field trials.
iTrinegy’s Frank Puranik will expand on this by looking at the wider network environment and how you need to factor this into your testing process in order to ensure that you have properly assessed the risk that degraded networks will have on your 5G-enabled applications and devices.

creating bad multiplayer networks - how to break your games in the studio so they don't break in your players' homes!
Anticipating how a multiplayer game will endure the hugely different connections that players will be using can be an absolute nightmare for QA teams. High latency, low bandwidth, lost packets, NAT types – these are just a few of the many stresses that a player’s home or mobile network can place onto a game, and en masse they can totally ruin the game’s online experience. To make things worse, they’re notoriously difficult to re-create in lab environments, meaning they’re very difficult to resolve before the game is released.
However, iTrinegy’s Software Defined Test Networks can model any real world network in a controllable, repeatable, secure and accurate test environment, allowing you to run pre-launch multiplayer tests with totally realistic conditions in the studio, to ensure that your game works perfectly outside of the studio!
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how you can:
– Create models of international Meshed, ‘Host Election’, and Client-to-Server network configurations within a local QA facility
– Give each test console unique network conditions that reflect their real-world counterparts
– Run multiplayer tests that reflect real world player connections for augmented QA tests

Software Defined Test Networks: The Innovative Way to Improve Field Trial Success
Conducting a field trial is an expensive task, and if a product fails, rescheduling further trials can be very costly, and can cause long delays to a project’s schedule. One way to mitigate this is to realistically re-create, in your test lab, the degraded real-world network conditions likely to be encountered in the trial.
In this short (40 minute) online session, we explain how you can improve your field trial preparations by using Software-Defined Test Networks to mimic the challenging network conditions of any field trial, or proof-of-concept, within your own testing environments, in order to check system, application or device performance, pass field trials and stress technologies like SD-WAN, Cloud and 5G.
We will cover:
- How field trial networks are different to lab networks, and why these conditions cause products to fail
- The different connection issues that cause products to fail
- How iTrinegy helps defense organizations reach successful trials

broadcast and live streaming - ensuring a positive viewer experience
Are you responsible for the successful deployment and maintenance of a streaming service, outside broadcast, a Broadcast WAN, or other network-reliant technology or applications?
The variable quality of available networks in different locations can present challenges for both the service providers and their audiences and it can be difficult to anticipate these hazards in pre-event testing as they will only appear when your broadcast network quality is impacted by the stresses of the real world.
In this webinar you will learn how, using a Virtual Test Network, you can create a controllable and repeatable broadcast test network environment including bandwidth limitations, congestion, latency, jitter, bit errors, queuing, packet loss and variable quality of service. A Virtual Test Network enables you to stress broadcast technology and services in order to identify and resolve network-related performance issues before they are deployed for real.
In this webinar we cover:
- The Impact of Bad Networks on Viewer Experience
- What a Virtual Test Network is.
- A Live Demo of Streaming over a Virtual Broadcast Test Network
- A Use Case Story

Satellite Experience without the Satellite Expense
Satellite Networks put a lot of “stress” on applications that isn’t usually encountered in WANs or Mobile Networks. Using real satellite networks for testing can not only be expensive, but also unrealistic as they do not allow you to mimic, on demand, different atmospheric conditions or network characteristics in order to conduct effective testing. So, how can organizations have the confidence that their applications will be usable over satellite networks?
In this webinar you will learn how using a Virtual Test Network you can create a controllable and repeatable satellite test environment including bandwidth limitations, congestion, high latency, high jitter, bit errors, queuing, packet loss and variable quality of service. A Virtual Test Network significantly reduces the costs of conducting application performance tests as it eliminates the need to use satellite dishes, satellite modems or terminals and also delays the need to conduct expensive live satellite field trials until much later in the project life cycle.
In this webinar we cover:
- Why satellite networks are so different compared to other types of network.
- What a Virtual Test Network is.
- A live demo of an application running over a satellite Virtual Test Network

How To Avoid Making Players Your Game’s First Testers
Today’s gamers expect a great player experience regardless of the network that they’re connected to. But when network conditions put the player at a disadvantage – or worse the game is unplayable- then a bad review or negative social media post, is frequently the first step in expressing one’s anger and disappointment. Therefore surely it makes sense to develop and test games in an environment that accurately reflects the real-world network conditions for a player’s location – so that the game can be optimized to handle a myriad of network conditions.
In this webinar, you will learn how Virtual Test Networks can be used to create a secure test environment that looks and behaves just like the real-world network – an environment that’s not only under your complete control but is also repeatable too!
