Traffic & Policy Management

GENBAND Difference

The GENBAND P Series™ portfolio of Traffic and Policy Management (TPM) products leverages advanced traffic flow and deep packet inspection technology to help broadband service providers enhance intelligence of network performance. P Series offers service providers ultimate policy control and enforcement, with granular, up-to-the-moment, end-to-end understanding of the IP applications.

Benefits

• Improve Intelligence: Empowers service providers with in-depth intelligence of users and applications traffic in real-time. Whether service is delivered over mobile or fixed broadband, the service provider can stay up-to-date with complex network flows all the way down to users’ device and application details.
• Improve Performance: Provides features and capabilities that help service providers with network optimization, congestion management, policy management and improved security of the network.
• Monetize Growth: Enables service providers to drive revenue from the traffic growth by providing them with tools to create new services based on applications, usage patterns, time-of-use or location of the subscriber. It also empowers service providers the ability to apply policies for enhanced charging, reduce churn by reporting QoE and enable traffic management to address congestion.
