The easily accessible application UI displays many network characteristics including throughput, jitter, and latency. This application also works in the background.

Tutela Technologies provides telecommunications companies with wifi and mobile network monitoring and analysis tools. The tools offer wireless service providers an in-depth analysis of their networks, complete with customer experience, network experience, and video experience reports, without requiring any additional infrastructure.

Data is collected through a crowdsourced network performance model using technology that embeds into mobile applications to track when and how network conditions affect the in-app experience. This unbiased information from the customer’s perspective gives Tutela’s users a profound understanding of their customer experience. With these comprehensive insights into network performance and quality, Tutela’s clients are able to make better infrastructure investments while increasing customer acquisition, satisfaction, and loyalty.

Tutela’s founders, Hunter MacDonald, Anthony Kroeker, David Yarish, and Brennen Chow graduated from the University of Victoria’s engineering program. With the guidance from The Alacrity Foundation Mentorship team, the founders launched Tutela Technologies. The company, based in Victoria, BC, was established in 2011 and has continued to develop and grow, now employing nearly 40 people (2019), with the help of Alacrity’s knowledgeable advisors.

 

About the Software

Tutela’s Network Assessment Tool automatically records data concerning wireless signal strengths, download speeds, latency and other performance metrics. It then reports its findings to the Network Analysis Dashboard where the data may be easily interpreted. The simple and very approachable UI hides the complexity of the program itself, the most powerful of its kind. Such a program is paramount in this rapidly expanding industry, in which demand for data is nearly limitless. This is a great feedback tool for cell carriers wanting to optimize their networks.

The Network Assessment Tool is already in use globally. This map represents the number of data points collected and roughly where they were recorded from.
The Network Assessment Tool is already in use globally. This map represents the number of data points collected and roughly where they were recorded from. The picture had to group nearby data points together due to the vast amount.
This is what an operator may see using the Network Analysis Dashboard. The dashboard includes a heat map of network strength, several graphs depicting various network characteristics over time, a complete log of network characteristics with time-stamps and their respective coordinates, and much more, all laid out in an easy to follow UI.
