Logistics companies need to have full awareness of where packages are in the delivery process and fortunately advances in tracking technology mean this is now an everyday reality. However, the satellite, wireless and mobile networks that are relied upon to achieve this can suffer from high latencies and significant packet loss, making them hostile environments in which to place applications. iTrinegy network emulator technology helped a leading European logistics company to eliminate the risk of deployment failure for their new parcels tracking application by replicating, in the UK test centre, the conditions of poor WAN access likely to be encountered in its Eastern Europe operations, so that they could confirm that it would work across these types of networks.
