ASSIA has introduced TruSpeed, a software module intended to provide Internet service providers (ISP), communications regulators and wholesalers to gain visibility into Internet and WiFi throughput across the entire network. TruSpeed uses cloud-based machine learning to monitor and measure both broadband and WiFi speeds while assessing bottlenecks across five key points in the network. The hardware-agnostic solution uses ASSIA's patented CloudCheck WiFi and Expresse technologies.

TruSpeed is designed to provide historical and real-time network-wide visibility and verification of compliance as well as granular and specific detail of subscriber speeds to the end-user's WiFi devices. The visibility can also be provided to the subscriber.

Features include:

  • In-home WiFi throughput measurements initiated by the TruSpeed mobile app
  • WiFi throughput measured from the CPE by the TruSpeed software agent, which provides accurate, real-time throughput to all devices connected to the CPE without any additional software required
  • End-to-end throughput measurements initiated by the TruSpeed app to a speed test node
  • Broadband throughput measured by the TruSpeed agent to a speed test node
  • Access Sync/Contracted rate: Broadband sync rate passively collected on access nodes with optional Access Network Data Collector (ANDC)

"Based on customer and regulator inputs, as well as leveraging ASSIA's expertise and innovation, we are pleased to bring TruSpeed to market," said Dr. John Cioffi, CEO and chairman of ASSIA. "Not only does TruSpeed provide full visibility on end-to-end speed, it also identifies individual bottlenecks.

Service providers that require a comprehensive, end-to-end Quality-of-Experience solution can also easily upgrade TruSpeed software to a full CloudCheck WiFi solution at any time. Additional ASSIA services such as quality of experience (QoE) consultancy, network managed solutions (full or partial), and regulator-compliant reporting can be offered as part of the TruSpeed solution.
