Overview
Metrico Wireless is setting the standard for mobile device performance assessment. Our approach is to measure a handset’s quality in a manner that quantifies the end-user experience. Our patent pending process evaluates handset performance on over 200 new handset models annually in both live-network and simulated network environments. Each device is extensively tested and results are compared to the world’s largest handset performance database. The process results in the Metrico Quality of Experience Scorecard for each device tested. Metrico’s clients have enjoyed improved device performance and increased customer satisfaction.
In 2003, Metrico Wireless was founded on the principal that conformance testing alone was not resulting in consistent product performance across wireless devices. Commercially launched wireless devices suffered from highly varying user experience. Live network performance testing was limited and often subjective. Metrico’s initial engagements focused on establishing technology and processes for live network user experience measurement using voice quality measurement technology and other live network baseline techniques to characterize radio performance and voice codec performance for AMR enabled handsets.
In 2007, Metrico Datum reinvented how data performance measurement was accomplished by releasing an on-device agent for data performance measurement. Through its on-device design, data services can easily be tested in any condition or location.
In 2008, Metrico expanded its operations into the UK and Taiwan in order to better service its global client base. In addition, Metrico released the industry’s first handset-agnostic call performance measurement system, Metrico Nomad.
In 2009, Metrico added aGPS and call performance measurement to its Fit4Launch services, which are designed to determine whether a device is prepared for the public’s use.
In 2010, Metrico launched the first live-network, mobile test enabled, video performance measurement system, Chromatic. Joining Metrico’s suite of measurement products, Chromatic offers an alternative to other solutions, by scoring the quality of the visual output in the same way a consumer would.
Metrico Wireless is a privately held corporation headquartered in Frederick, MD.
