Introduction
This documentation explains how to install and operate Latence Technologies' real-time cloud analytics solution for cellular networks with a special focus on ultra-low latency connectivity.
Every millisecond counts!
Solution architecture
The solution is composed of 3 components.
- A QoS-Agent that will probe the network and send the results to the analyzer.
- A Reflector, acting as the target for the probes.
- An Analyzer that gathers and processes the data and delivers insights into your network connectivity.
These components are deployed as docker containers, work on a large variety of hosts and can be tailored to fit specific network configurations. The picture below illustrates this architecture, with an example of dashboard.
Note: A reflector can respond to multiple agents and, an analyzer can receive data from multiple agents. Each agent must have its own agent ID (LTI_agent_id), so that the data are differenciated in the analyzer. Grafana will then display the data of each site by selecting the corresponding agent ID.
