Satellites Overview

The MyConnection Server (MCS) Satellite Architecture provides a powerful, flexible platform for automated network testing. At its core, each “satellite” acts as a Test Edge Point (TEP), enabling ongoing performance assessments across various network segments—whether within a corporate LAN, across WAN links, or even in remote customer environments. By distributing these satellites throughout your infrastructure, you can establish baselines, monitor variances, and proactively identify performance issues before they impact users.

Each satellite is multi-functional:

• Client: Runs automated, scheduled tests between defined endpoints to gather insights on network segments that support critical business or cloud applications. This helps ensure application rollouts go smoothly by offering a consistent, repeatable measurement framework.
• Server: Receives and supports tests—either automated from other satellites or user-initiated via a browser interface. This self-service capability empowers users to troubleshoot connection issues from browser-based tools without needing deep technical involvement or complex deployment.
• Client (App): Offers a mobile-friendly app interface for smartphones and tablets, enabling secure, intuitive, on-the-go testing. Developers can even integrate this functionality into third-party applications using the provided SDK.

All satellite roles are centrally managed via a simple HTTP-based protocol (SMCP), making deployment and control seamless across platforms—Windows, macOS, Linux, or mobile. The result is a cohesive, scalable, and proactive network qualification system that supports both automated diagnostics and self-help testing, all orchestrated from a central MCS server.

In short: The satellite architecture transforms network performance monitoring from fragmented and reactive into a comprehensive, automated, and user-friendly system—empowering organizations to preemptively spot issues and validate connectivity across any network landscape.
