Product Development Support

OmniPeek Professional allows developers to efficiently troubleshoot and analyze network performance issues during product development and testing, allowing real product deficiencies to be separated from environmental issues and product changes to be quickly analyzed.

When debugging new products during development, the nagging question is always, “Is the problem I’m seeing in my design or in the tool I’m using for debugging?” Debugging problems in state-of-the-art hardware development projects often requires access to detailed, low-level network protocol data for problem identification and analysis. It is imperative to troubleshoot your hardware-under-development with a highly trustworthy and accurate tool, to eliminate false positives.

A Silicon Valley start-up was developing a new wireless communication device specifically for the medical industry. Upon receipt of the first prototypes, testing indicated serious performance problems that were well below the design specification. Were these problems due to the hardware design, the wireless environment or the testing tools themselves?

Our Solution

• OmniPeek Professional

• Roaming Latency Plug-in

• Wireless Aggregator Plug-in

This company needed a highly reliable product capable of capturing and analyzing all wireless traffic. Not just a monitoring tool that displays the current, statistical view of the wireless environment, but a product capable of reliably collecting each and every wireless packet, and analyzing this data both in real-time and post-capture. This company equipped each of its development engineers with a copy of OmniPeek Professional, coupled with some our advanced plug-ins providing a portable wireless test and analysis solution capable of distinguishing wireless environment issues from product design issues. The solution also gave the engineers valuable information to help them build a more robust solution capable of high-quality operation even when faced with difficult wireless environment conditions.

Efficiency in the development process is critical. Time spent troubleshooting during the development phase either takes away from time spent on additional new functionality, or adds significant costs and schedule delays to the product. OmniPeek Professional is the network performance analysis solution for troubleshoot issues during product development and testing.

Business Benefits
