What Kaitotek does

Kaitotek Oy is a privately held Finnish software company headquartered in Oulu that develops and sells Qosium, a passive network Quality of Service and Quality of Experience measurement and monitoring platform. The product family comprises Qosium Probe (a measurement agent installed on Windows, Linux, Android and embedded devices), Qosium Scope and Scope Lite (desktop applications for manual measurement and analysis), Qosium Scopemon (continuous background monitoring with automated alerts), Qosium Storage (a PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB-backed results database with web UI, heatmap visualization and REST API), Qosium Node (an industrial-PC hardware appliance for sites where software installation is impractical) and QGTPR (a GTP tunnel decoder for 5G/LTE core measurement). Unlike active-test alternatives, Qosium silently taps into existing application traffic to compute realistic QoS metrics without injecting test load, and includes the proprietary QMCP control protocol and the PSQA neural-network-based QoE estimator.

Kaitotek monetizes Qosium through annual software licensing across commercial, research/academic and non-profit tiers, complemented by professional measurement services and Qosium Node hardware sales; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a free trial edition driving product-led adoption. The company sells to enterprise application and service providers needing APM-grade network visibility, network equipment and device manufacturers validating product performance, wireless and private network operators, industrial and port operators (e.g., Kalmar, Herman Andersson) running autonomous systems over private LTE/5G, and research and education institutions (e.g., VTT, University of Oulu collaborations). Named enterprise customers include Nokia, Fujitsu Finland, Kalmar, Topcon, Herman Andersson and VTT. The company is small (1-10 employees), founder-led (CEO Jarmo Prokkola), privately financed with no disclosed institutional funding, and has built deep relationships with pan-European 6G research initiatives including CONVERGE, 6G-SANDBOX and 6G-XR, positioning Qosium as a measurement layer inside next-generation network testbeds.

Core offering

Kaitotek develops and sells Qosium, a pure-software passive network measurement and monitoring solution that determines true Quality of Service from the perspective of real applications without generating test traffic. The offering spans the Qosium Probe measurement agent, Qosium Scope/Scope Lite analysis GUI, Qosium Scopemon continuous monitoring, Qosium Storage results database, and the Qosium Node hardware appliance, supported by annual commercial, research/academic, and non-profit licensing tiers plus professional network measurement services.

Product overview

Kaitotek's Qosium is a unified passive network measurement and monitoring solution comprising software products that measure network quality from real application traffic without requiring additional hardware. The product family includes Qosium Probe (measurement agent), Qosium Scope/Scope Lite (manual measurement and analysis desktop application), Qosium Scopemon (continuous automated monitoring), Qosium Storage (centralized results database with web UI and heatmap visualization), and Qosium Node (hardware measurement appliance). All products share the same QMCP proprietary protocol and work together to provide end-to-end network QoS visibility across diverse network technologies including 4G/LTE, 5G, and future 6G networks.
