AMNET Selects Sandvine to Protect Network Integrity and Subscriber Experience

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - CABLE-TEC EXPO, June 16/PRNewswire/ -- Sandvine Incorporated, the world leader in intelligent broadband network management, today announced that AMNET, leading cable Internet provider in Central America, has selected Sandvine to protect the integrity of its broadband network and subscriber quality of experience (QoE).

Sandvine's award-winning solution empowers service providers with tools to understand subscriber behaviour, protect subscriber applications from malicious traffic, differentiate their services and ensure subscriber satisfaction.

Central American based AMNET has selected Sandvine to mitigate the impact of malicious traffic on subscribers, applications and its network. Worms, spam Trojan, DNS, DoS attacks, and bandwidth-intensive applications can degrade the broadband experience for unprotected residential Internet users and result in thousands to millions of dollars lost to network outages, customer support costs, and unplanned network expenditures for broadband service providers.

"We chose Sandvine's intelligent management solution to protect our network and our subscribers against malicious traffic," said Daniel Hindelang, Regional Manager, AMNET. "Subscribers expect high quality of service from their network connection and look to us to ensure their valuable applications are protected and delivered at the optimal level of performance."

"Sandvine provides more than just basic security, we endeavour to ensure the overall network integrity of service provider networks," said Tom Donnelly, executive vice president, marketing and sales for Sandvine. "It's about adding new network intelligence that allows service providers to protect their networks against malicious traffic, protect individual subscriber quality of experience, prioritizing, and optimizing performance on broadband applications they use every day."
