Apposite's Linktropy and Netropy WAN emulators simulate bandwidth, latency, jitter, loss, congestion, and other important network impairments to test the performance of applications under a spectrum of real-world conditions.

If you're not sure which product is best suited for your requirements, give us a call or send us an email and we'll be happy to recommend the most appropriate, cost-effective product and model for your testing needs.

Linktropy WAN emulators simulates a single link through each pair of interfaces, offering the simplest configuration possible. If you need to emulate a single set of conditions between two networks, Linktropy is the product for you.

Netropy network emulators simulate up to 15 separate WAN links, each with their own bandwidth, delay, and loss characteristics, through each pair of physcial ports. To model complex network topologies or run multiple concurrent tests, select the Netropy network emulator.

Linktropy Stack The Linktropy WAN emulator offers the simplest configuration at the most attractive price for a high-precision emulator.
  • Link speeds from 300 bps to 10 Gbps
  • Latency up to 10 seconds
  • Live network condition capture and replay
Models:

Linktropy 5500              Linktropy 7500 PRO              Linktropy 10G              Linktropy Mini2
Linktropy Stack For advanced test requirements, Netropy’s high-precision Emulation Engine simulates multiple WAN links to model complex network topologies or run multiple concurrent tests.
