2024: Data Rate Measurement Service Announcement

On November 8, 2024, Rostelecom announced the optimization of its service for measuring the data transfer rate in high-bandwidth channels. The QMS service is a completely Russian solution developed by the Rostelecom team. With QMS, users can easily find out the real speed of the Internet connection.

According to the company, the QMS functionality is based on proven ones algorithms that meet such world standards as Speedtest from the company. Ookla At the same time, QMS is included in, register of Russian software which leads. Ministry of Digital Development of Russia The domestic market of solutions for measuring the speed of Internet connection is enough saturated. However, among the available tools are based on the LibreSpeed ​ ​ library, which contains an error that affects the accuracy of results on channels with a bandwidth of more than 150 Mbps. It can lead to their significant distortion. Unfortunately, an ordinary user cannot know which library is involved and is forced to be content with inaccurate results. QMS is completely devoid of this problem and always provides correct numbers.

The service measures the download and return speed, data determines ping (response time) and servers jitter (non-constant intervals between the transmission of network packets). A high level of jitter can negatively affect the quality of audio and, video conference causing interruptions and distortion of sound and images. The service allows you to set the number of tests and the time interval between them, as well as automatically generate graphs of previous measurements.

The QMS infrastructure stands out for its scale. It covers the whole of Russia, providing a measurement of the speed of Internet connection in every corner of the country. This approach enables ordinary users and corporate clients to conduct tests regardless of geographic location and obtain accurate and reliable results. told Vitaly Trepykhalin, Vice President for Information Systems Development at Rostelecom

To estimate the speed of data reception and transmission, you can now use a secure Russian service. The domestic development of QMS completely replaces the functionality of foreign analogues and provides a correct assessment of the Internet connection one click from any point. And the measurement results can be shared on social networks and instant messengers in real time - for users, the corresponding upload of results is implemented. told Evgeny Zhukovich, Rostelecom Customer Service Director

In October 2024, the media reported that in Russia at the legislative level they plan to ban the operation of the SpeedTest service from Ookla. If the bill is approved, telecom operators will have to switch to Russian software products to measure the data transfer rate in their networks. The QMS service represents an import-substituted development that meets the necessary requirements from both customers and regulators.

One of the main possibilities for corporate clients is that QMS offers an alienable module that allows you to place the system on your own To IT infrastructure (on-premium) and conduct testing Internet connections in the area between the user and the server. This is especially necessary for companies providing communication services, as it makes it possible to carry out an effective assessment of their network infrastructure. Thus, organizations will be able to optimize the quality of customer service and optimize the work of resources.

QMS can also be embedded in third-party web applications, which allows developers to add Internet connection speed measurement functions directly to their solutions. Thanks to this, testing is possible right in the interface of sites or applications. The service does not have ads, and users can choose the most comfortable display style for themselves from two versions of the interface - light and dark.
