IxChariot® is the industry’s leading test
tool for predicting end-to-end device and
system performance by emulating real-world
applications. IxChariot assesses the performance
characteristics of any application running on wired
or wireless networks. Comprised of the IxChariot
Console, Performance Endpoints and IxProfile,
the IxChariot product family offers thorough
performance assessment of a variety of networks
including enterprise, service-provider, and even
Triple-Play networks. Tests are run on PC’s and
embedded devices such as set-top boxes, PDA’s,
cell phones, and video game consoles.
