The Service Delivery Engine (SDE) gives service providers a policy infrastructure to launch a broad portfolio of next-generation IP services with network-wide quality of service (QoS) over multiple access technologies: cable, DSL, FTTH, 3G wireless and WiMax. With this solution, service providers can increase profitability, enhance subscriber satisfaction and improve network efficiencies.
Through universal equipment signaling, the SDE allows policy enforcement network-wide, from the edge to the core. SDE integrates with Sandvine’s Policy Traffic Switches (PTS 14000 and PTS 8210) and network management solutions for a comprehensive policy strategy that addresses services, network security, traffic management and network demographics reporting.
Tom Donnelly, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Sandvine, said: By adding the SDE to our product portfolio, Sandvine offers the dynamic policy control needed to implement network-wide QoS and accelerate new revenue streams for service providers. Sandvine provides the most comprehensive strategy for launching next-generation services, improving subscriber satisfaction and ensuring fair usage on broadband networks.
