Procera, a US based network equipment company, has deployed a network performance monitoring technology in the Middle East to help consumers understand what service quality to expect from different providers.
The move follows a national regulatory agency in the Middle East deploying Procera Networks’ ScoreCard technology to monitor the performance and service quality of their fixed and mobile broadband service delivered by service providers.
ScoreCard grades each service provider on throughput, latency, and packet loss for all broadband traffic to fully assess the network quality delivered for subscribers. ScoreCard thereby makes it easier for consumers and businesses to better understand what level of service to expect from different providers, and allows regulators to benchmark service providers.
“Consumers and businesses looking for the best broadband service available to them in any given market often turn to the local regulator for advice on what service would best suit their needs,” said Alexander Havang, CTO of Procera Networks. “Using ScoreCard, telecom regulators can better inform the market, providing end-users with more clarity on the level of service they can expect from the various incumbents. It reports the actual quality delivered by broadband operators with a passive, virtual deployment that can scale to tens of millions of subscribers.”
The MENA deployment coincides with the launch of Procera’s service provider compliance solutions set. The solutions have been designed to help operators around the world comply with changing broadband service regulations, easing the transition needed to implement new infrastructure in line with new regulations.
The new solutions take advantage of Procera’s network intelligence technology heritage to deliver more than 100 use cases for operators. Procera offers virtualized versions of these solutions that can reduce cost and generate revenue for the operator, improving the ROI for a compliance solution deployment.
