Analysis: Fixed Wireless: Page 9 of 11

To evaluate P2P wireless radios we ran the following tests:

• Throughput, using Ixia Chariot 5.0 and six client endpoints (three per side).

• Latency, using Spirent Communications' SmartBits 600B.

• VoIP/QoS: We saturated a link using data generated by our SmartBits 600B. A series of VoIP calls were generated using Chariot's VoIP test scripts. We prioritized VoIP traffic above traffic from our SmartBits appliance. After one minute of voice calls we examined the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) from Chariot to ensure that QoS was honored appropriately.

• Qualitative measurement of management and configuration tools for each radio.
