Deploy satellites at every location that matters and let MCS test your network around the clock. Establish baselines, catch degradation before it impacts users, and build a data-driven picture of network health over hours, days, weeks, or indefinitely.
Network monitoring tools watch packets at a single point, like standing on a bridge watching cars cross. You can see they're moving, but you have no idea if they're arriving at their destination on time, intact, and in the right order.
Automated end-to-end testing is fundamentally different. It measures real performance between two points: jitter, loss, throughput, latency, route quality. Not "is data flowing?" but "can this connection actually deliver a clear VoIP call, a smooth video session, and responsive cloud applications right now?"
And because it runs continuously, you don't just get a snapshot. You get a trend. You see the 2pm congestion pattern. You catch the ISP routing change at 3am. You spot the jitter creep that's been getting worse for two weeks. You fix problems before users report them.
Any test that MCS can run on-demand can also run on a schedule. Define what to test, how often, from where, and let it run unattended.
Continuous jitter, loss, MOS, and SIP testing between sites. Catch call quality degradation the moment it starts, not when users complain.
Learn moreTrack TCP throughput over time. See how sustained performance changes with load, time of day, and network conditions.
Learn moreMonitor available UDP capacity continuously. Know when your connection is approaching the point where adding more traffic will cause loss.
Learn moreContinuously verify that critical ports remain open. Get alerted the moment a firewall change or ISP update blocks a port your applications need.
Learn moreScheduled route analysis reveals when ISPs change routing, when peering points congest at peak hours, and when paths shift.
Learn moreTest every 5 minutes, every hour, during business hours only, or 24/7 continuously. Define the cadence that matches your requirements.
Network Connection Satellites (NCS) are the test endpoints that make automated testing possible. Deploy them at every office, data center, remote site, and cloud region. MCS assigns work to them centrally and collects all results in one place.
Install on any Windows, Linux, or macOS device. Available as a command-line agent, installer, or standalone app. Deploys in minutes to VMs, cloud servers, employee workstations, or Raspberry Pi. Centrally managed by MCS, so you assign and update work remotely without touching the device.
Solid-state appliances with no operating system, no file system, and no executables. Immune to malware and OS-level attacks. Available as 1U rack-mount (2-16 Gbps ports) for data centers or portable 2-port devices for field engineers. Each port is an independent test endpoint with integrated I-point and E-point capabilities.
All test data flows to your MCS server and is stored in a proprietary database on your infrastructure. Hardware satellites have no OS to compromise. Software satellites communicate only with your MCS server. You can safely deploy them in customer networks, partner sites, and public locations without security risk.
A single test gives you a snapshot. Automated testing over time gives you a story. The longer you test, the more you see.
Deploy a software satellite to every remote employee's machine. Run VoIP, bandwidth, and route tests throughout the workday. When they report issues, the data is already there. When they don't report issues, you can still see degradation developing.
Place hardware or software satellites at every branch office, data center, and cloud region. Test between all of them continuously. One dashboard shows the health of your entire network, every path, every metric, all the time.
Run continuous tests against ISP and carrier connections. When performance drops below contracted thresholds, you have timestamped, detailed evidence for an SLA claim. No more "it was fine when we checked."
Before deploying VoIP at a new site, run automated tests for a week to establish a quality baseline. After deployment, keep testing continuously to ensure the network maintains the quality your users depend on.
Switched carriers? Updated firewall rules? Enabled QoS? Before-and-after automated test data proves whether the change improved, worsened, or had no effect on actual performance. No guesswork.
Bundle automated testing into every customer deployment. Offer proactive network assurance as a service. Turn testing data into recurring revenue and client retention by proving the value you deliver.
Install software satellites on devices at each location, or deploy hardware appliances in data centers and branch offices. Takes minutes per site.
From the central MCS dashboard, assign work orders to any satellite. Choose the tests, the frequency, the target endpoints, and the quality thresholds. Push the schedule remotely.
Results flow back to MCS automatically. Trend data builds over time. Threshold-based alerts notify your team the moment performance drops. Export data, query the API, or view it all in the MCS dashboard.
