Various techniques include detecting noise in a network, identifying the type of noise in the network, localizing noise in the network, determining noise scores for network devices, and/or determining likelihoods that particular devices are causing noise and/or are in proximity of a point of entry of noise into the network.

Noise detection and localization

A variety of device interfaces may be connected to a test platform in a fast and efficient manner using multi-pin cables and connectors to support high-volume processing of devices to be tested. The multi-pin cables and connectors may aggregate a plurality of specific device interfaces into a single cable that can be connected via a connector to a test shelf and via a connector to a test platform, reducing the time to setup for device testing and facilitating high-volume processing of devices to be tested.

Video quality analysis and detection of blockiness, artifacts and color variation for high-volume testing of devices using automated video testing system

Wireless consumer premises equipment (CPE) devices are provisioned with their wireless functionality disabled. Selected wireless CPE devices have their wireless functionality turned on, and testing of the selected wireless devices, including testing of their wireless functionality, is performed. After testing has been completed, the selected wireless devices are placed in a predetermined default operational profile suitable for subsequent end consumer deployment. A wireless interference and wireless channel saturation minimization action is performed in relation to the selected wireless devices so that their wireless functionality does not affect subsequent testing of the wireless functionality of other wireless CPE devices. Testing can be performed using a system including a primary test platform, a wireless interface communicatively connected to the primary test platform, and a mobile and/or stationary test rack(s) communicatively connected to the primary test platform and that has individual slots into which corresponding wireless devices are connected.

High-volume wireless device testing

A customer premise equipment (CPE) device may be functionally verified using a universal platform to simulate operating conditions of an environment in which the CPE is intended to operate. Functional verification may be performed for an operational use of a CPE device in an environment similar to that used by customers of a service provider. Functional verification may be applied to a variety of devices using a verification platform that can support various types of CPE devices, various models of CPE devices, and various operational configurations used by an operator.

Functional verification process and universal platform for high-volume reverse logistics of CPE devices

A system includes a customer premises equipment (CPE) testing platform, a CPE testing rack, enclosures, and wireless components. The CPE testing rack is communicatively connected to the CPE testing platform and receptive to communication with wireless CPE devices. The enclosures are communicatively connected to the CPE testing rack. Each enclosure has wireless shielding to reduce outside wireless interference from entering the enclosure and to reduce wireless signals within the enclosure from exiting the enclosure. Each enclosure is receptive to installation therein a corresponding wireless CPE device. The wireless components are communicatively connected to the CPE testing platform. Each wireless component is mounted within a corresponding enclosure to wirelessly communicate with the corresponding wireless CPE device installed within the corresponding enclosure.
