If you are using somewhat modern WiFi equipment, you will probably have an option to turn on an “eco” mode. These settings promise to save power at the expense of network speed. But how much does that affect the actual speed and application performance? Luckily, we have our Surfmeter probes to find out. Turns out that the impact can be quite significant. Read on to see how we can accurately measure the impact of power-saving settings on the end user experience!

In today’s digital era, video streaming on mobile devices is at an all-time high. To meet the increasing demand for seamless streaming on smartphones and tablets, robust tools for optimal video quality are essential. We are excited to announce that our Surfmeter platform now supports AVPlayer for iOS 15 and higher. This expansion brings the powerful video streaming analytics and quality testing capabilities enjoyed by our Android users to iOS, allowing for easy measurement and analysis of video quality on iOS devices

Our iOS variant supports two main use cases, all within one SDK. Read on to find out more!

You’re probably here because you have worked with video in one way or another. Maybe you are creating video and encode it for later distribution, or maybe you operate a network that handles video — and in that case, probably a lot of it. The quality of videos is one of the most important factors that determines the overall user experience (and the Quality of Experience, QoE) of a video-based application or service. So it’s only natural that you want to measure and optimize the quality of your videos. In this blog post, we will discuss the different ways to measure video quality — both objectively and subjectively — and how to use these measurements to optimize the quality of your videos.
