Please provide the following performance test results when Goshawk u8 is operating on the Eutelsat OneWeb network.

Methodology: Ability to ping a known address through the assigned PoP and measure the corresponding response time. (8.8.8.8).
Methodology: Each satellite for Ku-band forward service link (to the OneWeb Approved Equipment) comprises 16 beams. Each beam has 1 channel with an occupied bandwidth of 250 MHz & total symbol rate of 230.4 Msps. The OneWeb Approved Equipment Peak possible is 195 Mbps. Using Ookla Speed Test Server (speedtest.net) / IPERF, note download speed peak (in Mbps)
Methodology: Each satellite for Ku-band return service link (from the OneWeb Approved Equipment) comprises 16 channels of 125 MHz each. Each channel carries one of the Ku-band user beam return channels. The OneWeb Approved Equipment Peak possible is 32 Mbps in the return link. Using Ookla Speed Test Server (speedtest.net) / IPERF, note the upload speed peak (in Mbps).
Methodology: Assessment of system ETE (end to end) latency inclusive of equipment processing delays, propagation delays and WAN delays. Nominal processing delay contribution targets are 6.1 – 6.6ms for the OneWeb Approved Equipment, 5ms for the SNP, 5ms for the PoP and 0.3ms for the remainder of the CN. Satellite round-trip delay is 33ms. Using Ookla Speed Test Server (speedtest.net), note latency (in ms).
Methodology: Account for QoS packet delay and loss targets dependent on priority class and GBR or Non-GBR. Using Ookla Speed Test Server (speedtest.net), note jitter (in ms).
Methodology: Service test confirm the ability to conduct internet searching and web browsing using the public internet. Note webpage loading times.
Methodology: Perform a service test by conducting a 2-way conference using a well-known application (Teams, Zoom, WebEx). Both audio and video should be used including the chat and recording features. Note any observations and experiences.
Methodology: Perform a service test confirming the ability to stream live video (IPTV) over the public internet. Note any observations and experiences.
Methodology: Download a 1GB file from https://www.thinkbroadband.com/download service test confirming that a large file can be successfully downloaded without any corruption. The size of the file may require satellite handovers to complete. Note any observations, experiences and average throughput.
Methodology: Uploading an 1GB file using an FTP server. Confirm that a large 1GB file can be successfully uploaded from a designated site without any corruption. The size of the file may require satellite handovers to complete. Note any observations, experiences and average throughput.
Methodology: Conduct a soak test over a 24hr period using IPERF or ICMP.
