Procera provides an industry-leading DPI (deep packet inspection) solution for broadband service providers, mobile and higher education customers. Each market has unique needs and utilizes DPI technology in different manners, but all recognize the strategic value of the technology in operating their networks. Network operators leverage Procera’s DPI technology to assess the impact of over the top (OTT) video and voice services, plan and postpone network upgrades, create service tiers, enforce volume caps, identify and resolve threats and congestions, and much more.

The common denominator for all of the above is that DPI needs to supply the necessary network intelligence, far beyond what IP (Internet Protocol) ever can do, and enforce fine-grained policies when required. DPI provides awareness of what applications a specific subscriber runs, on what device and where in the network – application, subscriber, device and location awareness. This multi-dimensional intelligence enables proper business and network decisions to be made, which improves the end-users’ online experience and supports the operator’s business case.

PacketLogic systems fit easily into the policy, billing and charging ecosystems by supporting the 3GPP standard when interacting with policy engines (PCRF), charging systems (OCS) etc. PacketLogic has a number of technological advantages, like bi-directional traffic classification of asymmetric traffic over multiple systems, real-time traffic visualization and policy enforcement, application-agnostic traffic classification, the largest library of application signatures, and unparalleled throughput capacity.

These strengths are bundled into three building blocks: PLR (PacketLogic Real-Time Enforcer), PIC (PacketLogic Intelligence Center) and PSM (PacketLogic Subscriber Manager) – all of which are mature and proven technologies that have operated in strenuous network environments. Our solutions help:

• Traffic Management, Fair Usage and Congestion Management to delay CAPEX
• Time, Application, or Location-based Services
• Topology-aware Peering Bandwidth Control
• Accurate, Fine-grained visibility on network behavior in real-time
• Identify improper user behavior and limit the impact of network attacks
• Implement new business and pricing models 
• Enable Quad Play Services through non-disruptive shaping and prioritization technology 

Our customers testify of immediate to short return on investment (ROI). DPI addresses your bottom-line results across the board: Control production cost, properly understand requirements, package attractive services that minimizes churn and increases customer loyalty, or simply implement security measures and insurances against deviant user behavior that may ruin your business case and the experience for others.

PacketLogic is applicable across all network and access technologies. It enlightens cable MSOs of the impact on their core business from OTT video services, it helps 3G operators identify and manage backhaul congestion, it applies fair-share on shared-media WIMAX networks, it implements tiered services on high-speed LTE networks, and it helps xDSL and FTTH operators better understand their customers. Proper business decisions require proper intelligence. DPI provides the accuracy and granularity required today to manage a modern network.
