Attendees will witness the benefits of Witbe’s innovative tech suite for streaming and broadband video service providers, enabling them to measure their viewers’ true quality of experience (QoE).

Debut of New Mobile Automation Setup

During the show, Witbe will introduce a new version of its Mobile Automation setup. This technology allows providers to remotely test any video app running on real mobile devices. The new setup is enhanced by Witbe’s Quality of Experience and Data Usage Benchmarking technology, which helps mobile network operators and video service providers measure and compare bandwidth consumption. This helps reduce data usage and costs while maintaining a high-quality video experience for viewers.

Simplified Remote Testing

Witbe’s new Mobile Automation technology allows teams to test and monitor their video apps running on mobile devices from anywhere in the world. Designed for accessibility and simple installation, Witbe’s Mobile Automation setup enables providers to connect real mobile devices, power them up, and start automatically testing any video app. This plug-and-play technology helps companies measure and improve their QoE on the same devices their viewers use, ensuring they deliver optimal video quality.

Quality of Experience and Data Usage Benchmarking

Witbe’s Mobile Automation has led to the development of its new Quality of Experience and Data Usage Benchmarking technology. This technology balances streaming video quality and bandwidth usage, helping mobile network operators optimize bandwidth management. Witbe’s technology provides accurate measurements of an app’s mobile data usage, responsiveness, and video quality across different builds, devices, and networks. This helps providers navigate network throttling while maintaining a strong mobile app QoE.

CEO Remarks

“Witbe is excited for this year’s IBC, where the innovation of our industry is always on display,” said Mathieu Planche, CEO at Witbe. “Offering a strong QoE is essential to standing out in a crowded video market, and Witbe’s ready-to-use testing and monitoring technology helps providers deploy automation quickly to start seeing results right away. Our dedicated approach to testing on real devices continues as we expand to address new concerns, including streaming ad insertion, rapidly increased data usage over cellular networks, and integrating AI and machine learning into the QA process.”
