Patent number: 11343692Abstract: A distributed network performance management system and method that distributes a large portion of the network performance management to wireless client devices connected to the network. Rather than rely on a central server to perform the bulk of network performance management, a distributed network performance management system offloads much of the work of service quality testing, reporting, and troubleshooting to wireless client devices that are connected to the network. It utilizes spare computing power and storage space on the wireless client devices to reduce the cloud operation costs of the system including such things as bandwidth requirements, data storage requirements, and data processing requirements.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: 7SIGNAL SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Russell S. Wangler, Joseph Tennant, Nathan Cain, Veli-Pekka Ketonen

Patent number: 10251120Abstract: A system for measuring and reporting wireless network service quality using remote devices is disclosed. The system comprises a central analysis and control server, a wireless device, and a wireless network testing software application, which is transmitted to the wireless device. The wireless device performs testing of wireless networks and sends test data to the central server. The received data us transformed and an indicia of wireless network service quality is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: 7SIGNAL SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Veli-Pekka Ketonen, Eric I.

Publication number: 20140160972Abstract: A method and a system for service quality monitoring in a network includes radio interfaces. The measurements are end-to-end measurements between the end user and chosen network element. The measurements are implemented using monitoring stations which can monitor the traffic passively or actively by transmitting test signals. The antenna beam directions of the monitoring stations can be controlled. The performance server works as a counterpart of the active tests. A reporting suite may define the performed measurements and it also collects the measurement data from different monitoring stations. Monitoring data from several corporate intranets can also be collected to an external server through internet connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2014Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: 7SIGNAL SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventor: Veli-Pekka Ketonen
