Ookla, a global leader in connectivity intelligence, today unveiled Speedtest Pulse, a new network diagnostic device designed to provide definitive, smartphone-based validation and troubleshooting for internet service providers (ISPs) and enterprises. Leveraging the power of Speedtest, a globally trusted gold standard for connectivity measurement, Speedtest Pulse bridges a crucial gap in technician toolkits, offering a powerful, scalable solution that is easy to use and provides clear, actionable insights.

The launch comes at a pivotal inflection point for the industry. Wi-Fi is no longer a commodity; it is critical infrastructure for modern homes and businesses. It serves as the primary lens through which customers judge their internet service and is the essential backbone of enterprise productivity. With the explosion of connected devices and the rise of complex Wi-Fi only networks, ensuring a high-quality, consistent experience has become a major operational challenge, especially for large enterprises managing hundreds of sites. For ISPs, verifying network performance at the time of install and quickly troubleshooting issues are vital to improving customer satisfaction and reducing support costs.
