Verify and ensure cellular connectivity & communication between systems to identify, diagnose and solve issues quickly
Ensure Connectivity, increase overall equipment effectiveness & streamline processes
In the context of industrial IoT and consumer IoT in general, a large number of sensors and devices communicate with each other or with a central control unit using latest technologies such as 5G and independent network slices.
Smart factories also often utilize private 5G networks to wirelessly manage a complex network of interconnected sensors, robots and instruments. These networks depend on continuous, highly reliable quality of service to maintain the desired operational efficiency 24/7, enabling wireless connectivity on the factory floor which requires highly reliable and stable coverage and connectivity, extremely low latency, and excellent downlink and uplink data rates.
In the consumer IoT space, connectivity is often the deciding factor and must be guaranteed both at a national level and when roaming to ensure seamless communication of IoT devices and services. In the communication chain, there is also very often third-party middleware that needs to be considered.
SEGRON’s automated testing solutions therefore provide a complete, automated end-to-end solution for remotely monitoring live networks and visualizing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as latency, data link quality, voice and video quality and data throughput in real time. Automation reduces human error and helps to quickly recognize and rectify problems in the production process, commuication or with specific devices.

Our valued customers
Campus Network Testing
A campus network forms the basis for mobile communication in industry environments. The operation of the local infrastructure with higher bandwidths and extremely short latency times must be ensured accordingly.
This is because reliable, fast and secure data transmission is critical to the success of many IoT applications.
Employees and guests also receive significantly better reception for voice and data communication via the campus network. In addition, external service providers and suppliers can also connect via the public network meaning that 5G campus networks therefore form the basis for mobile communication within the industrial environment.
Corresponding regression tests are therefore a very important component to ensure the operation of a campus network. Test must be carried out regularly after changes to the infrastructure or software changes of IoT modules, network components or user equipment.
SEGRON can help you to ensure the proper network and service functionality, which is building the basis for the communication of people and machines and thus ensures successfull and failure-free production.
Smart Factory Monitoring
Typical smart factory require 5G connectivity to control robots and self-driving automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in production lines, the use of augmented and virtual reality for visual inspection in smart factories and the use of numerous sensors for automated inventory control and supply chain management in smart warehouses.
Many wireless connections are required on the factory floor to ensure extremely reliable & stable coverage and connectivity with ultra-low latency, excellent downlink and uplink data rates.
SEGRON’s Automated Testing Framework (ATF) supports the early detection of problems such as broadband noise caused by machines and other radio signals that user devices are typically exposed to in highly complex environments. Quick detection of interferences that could accumulate in the network, help to avoid quality of service (QoS) issues that could cause operational impacts and downtime within your production lines.
IoT Connectivity Testing
IoT deployments normally have a large volume of devices, which leads to the fact that issues would impact a big number of customers and mitigation steps might be time consuming and with high efforts. Therefore, a proper testing strategy is very important and helps to reduce time and costs of any IoT project, whether deploying devices one at a time or as part of a larger initiative.
SEGRON provides an automated IoT testing strategy across the device lifecycle which covers the following areas.
Functional testing, to validate the IoT software & devices against functional service and connectivity requirements and specifications to make sure they’re working correctly and meeting requirements.
Compatibility testing, to ensure that the IoT devices work properly within the related infrastructure, deliver expected UX and meet operational requirements.
Connectivity testing, for tracking the quality and availability of communication among the device, users and the network and ensure proper connectivity.
Security testing, to verify if your IoT integration is working according to the GSMA FS.31 Baseline Security Controls. SEGRONs integration can help to identify and rectify weaknesses immediately.
