Procera Networks Wins $4 Million Contract With Global Tier-1 Mobile Operator for DPI
Procera Networks Inc. (AMEX: PKT), a developer of Evolved Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) solutions providing traffic awareness, control and protection for complex networks, today announced that a global Tier-1 mobile operator has selected Procera's award-winning PacketLogic(TM) PL10000 platform to optimize its network performance, reduce infrastructure costs and create new services for its mobile broadband customers. The deal, worth more than $4 million, will include multiple PL10000 platforms that can scale up to 80 Gbps deployed throughout the mobile operator's network. Procera won this deal against a field of other DPI vendors based on the real-time accuracy and performance of its PL10000 platform.
"We believe this customer win validates both the potential of DPI for mobile operators and the specific approach that Procera is taking toward this technology," said James F. Brear, president and CEO of Procera Networks. "In particular, we feel the size of the deal is a bellwether for DPI and should facilitate additional moves by other mobile operators. As mobile broadband services continue to mature and attract millions of users worldwide, we believe that DPI will become a 'must have' technology in order to ensure that all users receive their fair share of bandwidth while also reducing the operators' ongoing infrastructure costs."
Mobile operators worldwide are evaluating DPI technology as a means to better manage their network infrastructure and create new services that will deliver higher Average Revenue per User (ARPU). With an expensive network buildout of new access technology, limited backhaul capacity and a host of dynamic users moving throughout their networks, DPI presents the best possible solution to cope with the new demands and opportunities mobile broadband represents.
"We're thrilled that Procera was chosen among all of the vendors evaluated by this Tier-1 mobile operator," said Brear. "The scope of this deployment, as well as the rigorous testing that was performed on the many vendors that participated, highlights the deep interest in this technology for the mobile operator market. The scalability of PL10000 is a strong advantage we have in these deals, as having several times the capacity of the nearest competitor provides investment protection for operators that are growing quickly."
Procera's Evolved DPI technology is the next stage in the evolution of DPI. While first-generation DPI was suitable for blocking specific types of traffic such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications, Procera believes that broadband service providers require much more to optimize network performance through identifying new and ever-changing applications across the Internet. Procera believes these same providers also want to create new services tailored to individual needs, such as gaming and social networking, while protecting these same individuals from coordinated attacks. Procera believes evolved DPI meets these needs by delivering more granular and accurate information on a real-time basis to broadband service providers, be they wireless or wireline.
