JitterX Network Simulation Appliance


The JitterX Network Simulation Unit (NSU) is an appliance that helps corporations simulate real-world network environments during the development cycle of IT applications. JitterX will turn your development lab into a virtual real world environment.

JitterX Early!


JitterX allows developers to test systems on real world network conditions before preproduction roll out. JitterX allows programmers the opportunity to catch problems earlier in the development stage reducing (eliminating) the need for field testing, costly network upgrades and release delays. JitterX helps you to get your product to market earlier.
Simulate existing WAN links before deploying corporate applications – and see what effects increasing bandwidth will have before you order new circuits

  • Test application performance as part of server & data center consolidation activities (confirm applications work as desired before you physically move them to another site).

  • Simulate a GPRS or UMTS network for testing a mobile phone application before your handset leaves the factory.

  • Using SUP, slowly increase the packet loss or delay to find out when your application or network can no longer function properly.

  • Install JitterX as a permanent part of your test network, using its single URL setting feature enabling configuring within automated setups.


JitterX Always!


Position JitterX between two endpoints and select predefined emulation scenarios numerous testing environments to create network configurations and environments. JittexX features five variables to configure your own preset to match your own networks. In as little as two clicks, you can simulate a T1 between New York and Europe, a home user DSL connection, an overloaded cable modem network and even 56k modems.

JitterX will simulate any network types up to 100mbps, including asymmetrical WAN links, DSL, Satellite or other types of links.With its ability to save a large number of your own presets, JitterX will let you simulate any WAN connection as defined by the following parameters:

  • bandwidth

  • latency

  • jitter

  • packet loss

  • packet corruption



Create real-world test environments in your lab including:

Mobile Phone Networks


Mobile phone applications can be tested on a PC behind through an JitterX emulateed phone connection.

Web Configuration


Specifically for mobile phone application testing, you can select the presets for GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or satellite. Save your own presets and recall them anytime you want and repeat as often as you need.

Graphical monitoring


JitterX shows the bandwidth difference between incoming and outgoing traffic, making its simulation effects visible in simple graphics.

Automated variable testing


Using its “Single URL Operation”, automated scripts can modify the behavior of the simulation without human interaction.
