Procera Networks announced that it has secured an initial multi-million dollar analytics and traffic management deal with a Tier-1 South American cable operator. This latest development marks the third Tier-1 deployment in the region for Procera, and the fifth new Tier-1 operator customer to be secured in recent months across EMEA, the US, and APAC.
The South American cable operator is replacing its existing DPI platform with Procera’s technology to ensure its network can keep pace with the growth in bandwidth usage sparked by subscribers in recent months. Over 60% of traffic on the operator’s network is streaming video, and it expects this figure to rise even further in the coming years.
Delivering a consistent high Quality of Experience has become increasingly difficult for cable operators as subscribers continue to move towards streaming services such as Netflix. Procera’s traffic management platform combines fair usage with application-aware queuing technology to ensure all users have access to bandwidth during peak times, and that real-time applications (such as streaming video) can be delivered with a high QoE.
According to Procera Networks, the operator began looking for a replacement DPI solution to ensure it was capable of delivering a high quality of experience to its subscribers for video and all other broadband traffic types. It also wanted the necessary insights to ensure it was making the right investment decisions to maximize CAPEX and OPEX spending.

Procera’s platform will be a key building block that will underpin a very robust set of use cases in order to help the operator drive QoE improvements and gain new market share.
