Netropy Satcom Tester Offers a Powerful, All-in-one Solution for
End-to-End Satellite Communication Testing
Netropy Satcom Tester is a modern solution for evaluating satellite network performance, validating device capabilities, and optimizing application efficiency over satellite links. Designed for cost-effective testing in a controlled lab environment, it enables users to assess application performance and end-user experience without the expense and complexity of traditional solutions.
Maintaining application quality and reliability is challenging on satellite networks due to high latency and unpredictable environmental conditions. Netropy Satcom Tester generates real-world traffic and emulates dynamic network conditions to help identify and resolve performance issues before they impact users.

Evaluate End-to-End Satellite Network Performance
Ensure the reliability and efficiency of satellite communication systems by evaluating performance across the entire network path. Generate real-world traffic flows between ground stations, satellites, and user terminals to measure key performance indicators.
Assess how satellite modems, gateways, TCP proxies, and other critical components function together under real-world conditions to pinpoint bottlenecks, validate QoS, and ensure device interoperability.


Satcom Tester Capabilities
- Emulate real-world application flows at high scale
- Utilize a library of pre-built application flows including apps like Zoom, SAP, Netflix and Oracle
- Measure classic metrics like throughput, packet loss, latency, and jitter
- Optimize the performance of satellite modems, SD-WAN gateways, TCP proxies and other satellite network devices
- Capture, reproduce, and amplify real satellite network traffic
- Ensure QoS by measuring performance at the application level
- Verify critical applications are given priority when resources become limited
- Emulate weather interference and volatile network conditions
- Choose from existing network profiles for LEO, MEO, and GEO networks
Mimic Dynamic Network Conditions of Satellites
Emulate real satellite network impairments such as high latency, packet loss, and bandwidth constraints in a lab environment to verify device and application performance without requiring an operational satellite system.
Test modems, gateways, and optimization tools under controlled conditions to identify weaknesses and enhance data processing and prioritization.
