Differentiate your subscriber offerings with new application-based services

Service providers today have an early opportunity to offer subscribers a higher-quality experience for multimedia services by introducing new QoS-prioritized services. The number of subscribers actively using multimedia applications around the world is increasing at a dramatic pace although bandwidth consumed remains relatively low in stark contrast to file-sharing applications. Experience to date is confirming that these subscribers place a high value on a consistent, quality experience that exceeds typical best-effort services even for higher bandwidth offerings. Sandvine Service Creation solutions offer application-based QoS in combination with existing bandwidth-based service tiers to target specific market segments. The benefits include:

The broadest portfolio of next generation IP services

Sandvine leverages leading standards such as IMS, TISPAN and PacketCable Multimedia to enable a compelling portfolio of next generation IP services over a converged network infrastructure. Now service providers can build upon their traditional broadband access business by introducing differentiated multimedia, voice & data services as well as browser search assistance and more flexible billing options.

The only complete end-to-end service delivery solution

Next generation services rely upon QoS mechanisms to deliver a premium online experience beyond a traditional best effort experience. Service quality is ensured by assigning end-to-end network resources based upon the subscriber identity, service commitments, application characteristics and access network technology. Service providers can confidently invest in a single application-aware solution from Sandvine without the technology and operational risks from multiple technology providers.

One single solution supporting any access network technology

Sandvine Service Creation solutions provide assured delivery of multimedia services across cable, DSL, FTTH, 3G wireless and WiMax access networks. Service providers can now launch new consumer services that span multiple access networks such as a quota-based service incorporating both residential DSL and WiFi hotspots. Sandvine brings the exciting vision of Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) to reality with next generation services that seamlessly handoff between fixed and wireless networks.

Best-of-breed architecture

Next generation IP services demand a scalable and redundant architecture in order to successfully process the massive number of subscriber and application QoS requests inherent in tier-one networks. Sandvine’s unique approach offers a highly-scalable cluster which delivers the performance, scalability and high availability required for major tier-one service providers.

Accelerated launch of new revenue services

Service providers can rapidly deploy Sandvine Service Creation solutions into any network type and topology with minimal integration. This faster time-to-market means a better return on investment whether for new SIP, non-SIP or over-the-top services from independent application and content providers. Service providers also have the convenient option to initiate QoS requests from a deep packet inspection (DPI) platform within the network rather than incurring the cost to integrate with multiple application servers.
