  • Cyberthreat analysis and management to prevent cyberattacks; and
  • 5G slice load analysis and NF load analysis for real-time operational intelligence.
• A 5G Standalone (SA)-ready, cloud-native control plane platform, Maestro Policy Engine, which now provides contextual awareness about subscribers, as well as 4G to 5G inter-core handover metrics that ensure flawless coverage across access types, devices, locations, and users; and
• Public cloud integrations with Google Cloud Platform, AWS, and other major cloud providers.

Lyndon Cantor, CEO, Sandvine said: “We are excited that more than 20 service providers are now benefiting from Sandvine’s 5G portfolio across standalone, non-standalone, fixed wireless access, and private networks. To successfully improve application quality of experience and generate new revenues while migrating to 5G, our customers need high quality, real-time data. With visibility across 5G adoption, user experiences, cyberthreats, devices, and applications, they gain operational intelligence in the form of sophisticated and predictive insights. This requires programmable networks with automated functions that respond to network conditions and customer experiences in real time. Our continued 5G portfolio innovations are ensuring that our customers can meet these requirements for emerging 5G services.”
