Get ahead of user-impacting issues and prevent any disruption
Discover the benefits of an innovative approach to network intelligence that provides real-time application and user experience metrics from each user across any type of network.
Improve user experience
Get real-time visibility into any type of network traffic. Understand application performance (QUIC) and gain insights into your users’ quality of experience for every session, while maintaining user privacy.
Overcome encryption challenges
Avoid the performance impact of deep packet inspection (DPI) with a compact solution that is lightweight in its use of resources. Flow metadata and behavioral analysis provide powerful insights.
Protect real-time traffic
User experience metrics can be combined with cell site and location for actionable insights. Protect real-time traffic from high-bandwidth flows, preserving quality of experience every time.
Minimize network impact
Speed up issue resolution by correlating real-time user experience metrics with backhaul and transport network performance insights to quickly pinpoint and resolve the root cause.
Detects application and user experience yet protects privacy
Uses passive flow monitoring combined with heuristic techniques and machine learning for accurate QUIC classification without decrypting traffic.
Enriched real-time insights into user experience and transport network
Each flow can be correlated to users, applications, network locations, and performance for in-depth insights for automation.
Light footprint with low CPU overhead and efficient scalability
Compact and scalable with minimal back-end resources. Can be integrated as a container on an NCS 540 router or deployed standalone in the cloud.
Assures optimal experiences for all users
Measures network conditions in real time. Optimizes the delivery of heavy data flows, reducing congestion by as much as 46%.
