Sandvine, today announced that it has received orders totaling $7 million from two communication service providers in the Middle East & Africa (MEA). The first order comes from an existing Sandvine customer with a converged mobile and fixed network covering 36 million subscribers, while the second order is from a new fixed line customer. Both groups will be leveraging Sandvine’s 100GE PTS 32000 platform which delivers both PCEF/TDF functionality.
The existing customer has also purchased Sandvine’s Service Delivery Engine, which includes the company’s Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) to unify policy control for subscribers across its mobile and fixed networks. The new fixed line customer will be using Sandvine’s PTS 32000 and related software to optimally manage network traffic and enhance the security of the underlying networks.
