"Designed for technicians but also potentially useful for consumers, the new Speedtest Pulse is a dual-mode network diagnostic tool aiming to offer "one tap" troubleshooting at a competitive price point. Its objective is precise: to determine where the network connection bottleneck lies and whether the issue resides with the ISP, the local Wi-Fi, or a specific device. After identifying the problem, the device suggests a fix in natural language."
""Most network diagnostic tools are data-rich but insight-poor," he told ZDNET in a Zoom interview. "The Pulse not only tells you what's wrong, it gives you steps to fix it." Instead of flooding the technician with metrics, the Pulse will suggest something like, "You need to reduce Wi-Fi congestion by doing x, y, z." The device uses machine learning to generate natural-language instructions for troubleshooting issues and delivering more insightful metrics."
Ookla's Speedtest Pulse is a MagSafe-compatible diagnostic device that attaches to a smartphone and operates in two modes: on-the-spot troubleshooting and autonomous network monitoring. Designed for ISPs, enterprises, and technicians while remaining usable by non-experts, the Pulse aims to pinpoint whether a connection bottleneck stems from the ISP, local Wi‑Fi, or a specific device. The device uses an internal machine‑learning model called SpeedTest IQ to generate natural‑language troubleshooting instructions and deliver more actionable metrics. The Pulse emphasizes translating data into clear, step‑by‑step fixes, such as reducing Wi‑Fi congestion, and targets a competitive price point.
