Accessing the internet has become a part of the daily lives of billions of people across the globe, with network use ever-increasing as lifestyles further digitize. Ookla collects data on network performance and connectivity through its "Speedtest" product, providing insights for operators to better plan and build networks, and communicate performance and availability to customers.
Ookla's enterprise solutions use crowdsourced data and controlled testing to monitor performance and customer experience, delivering actionable insights for operators, businesses, government agencies, and more to optimize their wireless and fixed networks.
