Ookla Wind®
Wireless intelligence on demand
Re-imagine the way you drive test, walk test, and optimize your network. Ookla’s handset-based testing and monitoring solution provides comprehensive network measurements with real-time data processing and visualization. Live-streaming data means you can stop uploading and post-processing massive log files — and start acting immediately on network insights. Wind solutions empower operators to rapidly build, launch, optimize, and monitor both indoor and outdoor networks, all with consumer network experience at the heart of the system.

Generate walk-test and drive-test reports in real-time
Wind application
Our handset-based Android app provides standalone live testing solutions and chipset-level KPIs — no more laptops or bulky equipment required.
On-device reporting
Fully automated, instant reports are processed on the device, within seconds, for faster site verification, acceptance testing, and cluster reports.
Remote control and monitoring
Remotely schedule and manage testing on an entire fleet of devices and scanners, including Speedtest, voice, and Top-N scans, remote band-locking, live Layer-3 messages, and real-time troubleshooting.
Real-time cloud analytics
Dynamic live reporting and streaming KPI dashboard visualizations show an instant picture of network conditions — while testers are still in the field.
Sample use cases
