Sandvine Expands Customer Footprint in Canada and Latin America

WATERLOO, Canada, June 15/PRNewswire/ --

- Seaside Communications and TV Cable Select Sandvine Network Demographics Management

Sandvine Incorporated, world leader in intelligent broadband management solutions, announced today the addition of two new cable customers. Seaside Communications, leader in emerging technologies and cable Internet applications on Canada's east coast, and TV Cable, the largest broadband provider in Ecuador, have selected Sandvine's Network Demographics Management to monitor and protect subscribers and applications.

Sandvine's award-winning solutions empower broadband service providers with tools to understand subscriber behaviour, protect valuable applications such as VoIP and gaming from malicious attacks (worms, spam trojan, DoS, and DNS attack traffic), differentiate services, and ensure subscriber quality of experience (QoE).

As service providers grow their networks and offer differentiated IP services, cable operators such as Seaside and TV Cable need visibility into their traffic to maximize network resources for subscribers and their applications.

"As we add more subscribers to our network who make greater demands for new applications, we need to accommodate by offering the best possible online experience," said Shane Ferguson, Director of Network of Operations, Seaside Communications. "We chose Sandvine's intelligent broadband management solution so we can ensure subscribers continue to experience high quality of service on their most valued applications."

"TV Cable prides itself on offering the best quality of service to its cable customers," said Derek Caney, Chief Technology Officer, TV Cable. "Sandvine's tools help us understand our subscribers' online behaviour so we can ensure that we continue offering them the applications that they want at the quality they have come to expect."

"With increased competition for differentiated services, it's no longer enough to offer basic Internet access; service providers need to ensure their subscribers' overall quality of experience," said Tom Donnelly, executive vice president, marketing and sales, Sandvine Incorporated. "Sandvine empowers service providers with tools to understand, package and manage their services and their subscribers experience."
