Evaluate how latency and throughput performance informs which profile is best suited for your use case
Selecting the right connectivity is not just about evaluating coverage. Latency and throughput performance play critical roles in ensuring you get the performance you need for your deployment. Hologram offers different profile configurations and the flexibility to change profiles with our Hyper SIMs, so you can confidently choose the right profile.
Latency
Latency measures how long it takes for data to travel from one point to another. Low latency is ideal, since it means data is transferred quickly between device, network, and outcome. IoT use cases that require especially low latency include industrial automation with a fast response time or video streaming that can’t experience disruptions.
All Hologram U.S. profiles achieve latency below 300ms, which is sufficient for most applications. If your use cases demand more, we offer profiles that can go as low as 50ms latency, giving you the flexibility and performance you need.
Throughput
Throughput measures how much information a system can process in a given amount of time. High throughput is ideal as it allows more information to pass through in a given timeframe and is most relevant for use cases with high data consumption in a short period of time. When testing throughput, it’s important to test at different times of the day that may see differing network loads.
Hologram monitors throughput at various locations globally. In the example below, hourly tests over a five day period were conducted with all profiles having an average downlink throughput exceeding 19.5Mbps.
We take testing seriously, so you can choose confidently
All Hologram profiles are built and tested thoroughly to maximize your performance and ensure reliable connectivity. With Hologram's Outage Proof SIMs, you also get the added flexibility of switching installed profiles on-demand, or working with us to change profiles over the air. While the performance measurements above give you a starting point for how to evaluate profiles, our team of experts can work with you to evaluate which is the best fit for your unique use case.
