In this episode of INSIDE Stellar, the team takes you along on a real-world test drive to show what happens before new technology reaches customers. From crossing borders to switching between networks, this episode reveals why testing connectivity in the real world matters just as much as testing in the lab.

Dursun, Natalia and Simone walk through the setup used during the test drive, explain why the commercial team gets involved in product validation, and discuss how customer experience influences the way Stellar develops and tests its technology. The conversation also explores why border crossings are one of the toughest connectivity challenges and why more than 6,000 automated tests still aren't enough on their own.

Topics covered:

– Real-world connectivity testing

– How GLOBBLE and STEER® are tested in mobility environments

– Why the commercial team participates in product validation

– Border crossings and seamless network switching

– Customer experience and support from a user's perspective

– Why lab tests must be validated on the road
