Merlin Entertainments plc, operator of the London Eye, wanted to
measure its Wi-Fi network performance, to ensure its infrastructure
could provide an excellent experience for users of the new app,
which puts increased demands on the Wi-Fi network.
“The London Eye is a global attraction and the customer
experience is a big reason for our success,” said Sunny Jouhal,
Coca-Cola London Eye General Manager. “Innovation and technical
prowess are a key part of our attraction, and this project, with O2
and Spirent, continues that tradition.”
Wi-Fi networks have grown in recent years to help deliver more
smartphone app traffic, including both voice and real-time video.
So providers like O2 must ensure that networks can provide good
user experience, whether at a visitor attraction, a sports arena, a
hotel, or across a city like London.
“Digital communications have become a vital service, and
customers want seamless connectivity no matter where they are. With
increased user demand, there is also greater demand on network
infrastructure,” said Robert Franks, Digital Director at O2.
“Spirent’s test platform allows us to test the overall network
experience so that we can be certain the end user experience is the
best it can be.”
Spirent Landslide enables Wi-Fi providers to test their network
performance and capacity by emulating users with a range of
different devices, and the network traffic that they might
generate.
“Spirent Landslide allows providers to check their networks and
test application scale and performance before users access them,”
said David Stehlin, General Manager of Lifecycle Service Assurance
at Spirent. “Wi-Fi has become an integral part of the experience in
stadiums and public venues. Ensuring the application performance is
critical to brand value for sports teams, advertisers and
venues.”
Landslide E10 has been used with a number of different operators
to proactively test the network from the end customer’s
perspective, to assure the quality of experience for all customers.
This can greatly reduce the time, cost and quality of testing and
validating performance over traditional walk test methods by
emulating the actions of real clients in a repeatable and scaleable
manner.
