QualNet is ultra high-fidelity evaluation software that digitally represents an entire wireless network, including every variable that will affect the performance of the real network – devices, communication links, transmitters/antennas, terrain and atmospheric effects, and human interaction/operation. QualNet‘s digital representation of networks is so accurate that no user or connected component can discern whether it’s connected to the emulated network, or the real network.</p><p>QualNet’s userbase includes major aerospace and defense contractors, the US Department of Defense, mobile network operators, as well as research agencies and universities worldwide.</p><p>About Scalable Network Technologies Scalable Network Technologies (SNT) is the leader in parallel processing technology for network performance emulation. The company develops and supports high-fidelity emulation software tools used for predicting the performance of computing and communications networks and network devices. SNT has created a new category of evaluation tools for today’s sophisticated networks that meets the demand for real- time, real-network performance testing.</p><p>Founded in 1999 and based in Los Angeles CA, Scalable Network Technologies is a privately owned corporation.
