  1. Telco network analytics inadequate to support Open RAN’s intelligence and automation requirements, finds Rohde & Schwarz latest research

    Leipzig, Germany, March 4, 2025 — ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company and a leading provider of next-gen deep packet inspection (DPI) software, has released its report, ‘Analytics and AI in Open RAN: The role of deep packet inspection.’ The survey of 60 leading RAN vendors reveals that over half of Open RAN solutions depend on real-time traffic analytics. Additionally, 73.8% of vendors believe conventional analytics tools are insufficient for Open RAN.

  5. DPI for SD-WAN solutions

    SD-WAN products provide the improved capability to manage changing network traffic patterns that result from cloud computing and new application architectures. In order to ensure advanced security, optimize user experience, enable real-time business decisions, improve customer service, and increase business productivity, SD-WANs must now become smarter, or “application-aware”. Application awareness is providing the intelligence that is required to take SD-WANs to the next level.

  8. The importance of SD-WANs and the need for application awareness

    In today’s digital economy, businesses rely on connectivity. SD-WANs offer predictable application performance and reliability along with secure, uninterrupted connectivity, but they need to be intelligent or application-aware to ensure advanced security, optimize user experience, enable real-time business decisions, and increase business productivity. With the help of embedded deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, SD-WAN vendors can now deliver intelligent routing, traffic steering and enterprise application performance with advanced reporting capabilities to take SD-WANs to the next level.

  9. Unlock 5G speeds and low latencies with high-performance DPI for ultra-fast networks

    One of the key decision factors in deploying deep packet inspection (DPI) and choosing a solution that best fits one’s network needs, is cost. This evaluation is particularly important in 5G, where traffic is expected to record phenomenal growth rates over the coming years. With 5G, a network-wide upgrade of the underlying computing capacity is inevitable. However, what often baffles operators, is figuring out the exact upgrade requirements needed to support new 5G traffic volumes and the lower latencies, and ensuring that those upgrades meet the overall 5G network performance needs. Our new blog post discusses how underlying server processing capabilities influence the speed and throughput of a DPI library, demonstrated by a series of tests conducted by ipoque in collaboration with Intel®.
