In the modern enterprise environment, conference calls have become a critical tool for communication and collaboration, especially with platforms like Zoom becoming the standard for virtual meetings. With multiple employees participating simultaneously, the demand on Wi-Fi networks, particularly on Access Points (APs), is immense. Ensuring that your network can handle these demands is crucial for a seamless user experience.

The Challenges of Testing Conference Calls at Scale

Testing Wi-Fi access points under real-world conditions is no small feat, especially when dealing with large-scale conference calls involving hundreds of participants. Traditional methods of testing often fall short, and here’s why:

• Triggering calls from hundreds of participants: Simulating a large number of participants can be complex and resource-intensive.
• Synthetic traffic limitations: While synthetic traffic can be generated to simulate data flow, it fails to replicate real-world issues experienced in the field.
• P2P VOIP and video calls: Peer-to-peer (P2P) voice and video calls do not fully capture the unique problems that arise in Conference Call scenarios.
• Unmeasurable call quality: Traditional methods often rely on subjective assessments of call quality, which lack the precision needed for accurate performance testing.

WiCheck: Your Solution for Real Zoom Traffic Testing

WiCheck addresses these challenges by supporting real Zoom Conference Calls at scale. With just a single click, you can replicate the exact conditions that your APs encounter in the field, providing an unmatched testing solution.

• Seamless Zoom call initiation: WiCheck automatically triggers real Zoom Calls from hundreds of client devices, making it easy to simulate the load your network will experience in actual use.
• Real-world problem replication: By using real Zoom traffic instead of synthetic data, WiCheck replicates the specific issues that arise during conference calls, offering a more accurate assessment of your network’s performance.
• Objective quality measurements: After each call, WiCheck provides detailed metrics, including packet loss, jitter, and latency. In addition, it delivers an objective Mean Opinion Score (MOS), giving you precise, quantifiable insights into call quality.

Why It Matters for Your Wi-Fi Access Points

Using WiCheck to test Zoom calls under real-world conditions ensures that your enterprise Wi-Fi access points are optimized to handle the demands of modern Conference Calls. This leads to:

• Improved user experience: By identifying and addressing potential issues before they affect users, you can ensure smoother, more reliable conference calls.
• Reliable performance metrics: WiCheck’s objective data provides the insights needed to fine-tune network performance for optimum results.

With WiCheck, testing your access points under real-world conditions has never been easier or more accurate.
