Linktropy Mini WAN Emulators Provide Ultra Portability and Ease of Use for Assessing True Application Performance At Up To 1 Gbps Speeds
Linktropy Mini WAN emulators deliver portable, low-cost, single-link application performance testing and product demonstrations on the go. While offering only a subset of the features found on the Netropy Network Emulators, our portable WAN emulators are ideal for smaller scope projects that require simulating basic WAN conditions such as bandwidth, latency, and loss. The Mini-G100 and Mini-G are nearly identical with the exception of their emulation performance capabilities. The Mini-G100 emulation rate is 100 Mbps while the Mini-G can assess application performance at up to 1 Gbps speeds.
Portable and affordable, the Linktropy Mini Emulator series is also easy to install, configure, and use wherever you need to set up on the move. You do not need software or training to use our portable network emulators. All you need to do is plug in the Ethernet cables, specify the link conditions, and begin testing. It is that simple.
Choosing the right Linktropy Mini WAN emulator depends on the specific requirements of your application. You may even find that your project demands our Linktropy Network Delay Simulator Tools or our Netropy Network Emulators. If you require any assistance, please Contact Us online or call us at (310) 477-9955. Our team would be happy to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective model for your testing needs.
Optimize Application
Performance on the Go
Apposite Technologies’ Linktropy Mini WAN emulation tools provide a portable, low-cost alternative for projects with a smaller scope. With this convenient network testing tool you can quickly simulate basic network conditions for application development and customer demonstrations.
Fast, Flexible Network Emulation
Emulate network impairments such as bandwidth constraints, latency, jitter, and loss at link speeds up to 1 Gpbs. Linktropy Mini lets users change impairments and measure results in real time. Live network traffic can be profiled and imported into the WAN emulation tool.
Easy Installation and Application Performance Testing
Linktropy Mini network emulators are quick to install, intuitive to configure, and easy to operate. The Linktropy Mini GUI provides the responsiveness of an application with the convenience of a standard web browser. Get up and running in minutes with no training necessary.
