Sandvine Deploys its Solutions in North America

Sandvine has deployed its network policy control solutions in three North American wireless networks. 

Sandvine, a provider of intelligent broadband network solutions, has completed deployment for BendBroadband, FRC/The Blue Zone and Main Street Broadband.

These three regional service providers provide fixed-wireless service using a range of access technologies including WiMAX, satellite, 3G and 4G.

Sandvine has delivered its Fairshare Traffic Management product to these three operators and this has helped them to provide quality service to their customers.

"Sandvine was a strategic addition to our wireless network," said Eric Anderson , BendBroadband's director of wireless engineering. "The combination of the Sandvine deployment with BendBroadband's new 4G LTE network means our home Internet customers will continue to enjoy the same reliable service."

"We are excited to work with Sandvine again and deploy their equipment throughout the USA and MENA regions," said Mohamed Raji, Senior VP at FRC/The Blue Zone Group. "Sandvine's Traffic Management offering is the best-of-breed solution for optimal bandwidth usage per subscriber and will give FRC/The Blue Zone the ability to differentiate itself in this highly competitive marketplace."

Sandvine has also supplied Main Street Broadband with Network Analytics as a comprehensive business intelligence tool to measure network performance and to help gain insight into network trends and subscriber usage with executive-style dashboards.

"Main Street utilizes Sandvine technology to proactively manage network traffic, ensure fair use amongst its customers and limit the impact of abusive practices," said Bud Zirkle , COO, Main Street Broadband.

"It is important to us to maintain strong relationships with our customers and advise them on the latest tools available to manage their Internet resources," said Tom Donnelly , COO, Sales and Global Services, Sandvine. "Video streaming, multimedia messaging and the explosion of video-oriented apps and services, have all had a profound effect on networks. Our network analytics tools provide the visibility needed to help our customers migrate to LTE while maintaining the quality of these applications."
