Boost wireless access points and routers with application awareness to improve WiFi performance and security
Traffic and bandwidth requirements are growing, leading to an increased demand for consistent, high-quality service – regardless of the location and device used. To provide fast, reliable and secure connectivity, wireless networking devices such as wireless access points (WAPs) and routers need powerful IP traffic analytics capabilities to analyze and prioritize network traffic in real time. Wireless monitoring and application visibility can also be used to implement precise policies such as guest access, which is an additional method to strengthen your wireless network security.
By embedding OEM deep packet inspection (DPI) software from ipoque, you can monitor and improve your network’s performance, improve quality of experience (QoE) and strengthen network security. Also, you can monetize new data services by creating an application-aware, intelligent network infrastructure.
Analyze and prioritize network traffic in real time to optimize user experience with next-generation deep packet inspection software
Our future-proof DPI engine R&S®PACE 2 enhances your wireless network monitoring and management tools with insightful data and helps with supervising devices on your Wi-Fi network. The software identifies and classifies thousands of applications and network protocols reliably and accurately. It extracts valuable metadata in real time, providing detailed insights into network traffic with application and user-level visibility. R&S®PACE 2 reveals the apps and services used regardless of encryption without any privacy violations. Malicious communication is identified using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques. The software also detects encrypted P2P communication such as VPN and TOR. Rely on our easy-to-integrate DPI engine to monitor traffic patterns and bandwidth, prevent Wi-Fi network congestion and ensure Wi-Fi service availability to all users. Add granular IP traffic visibility to analyze and prioritize network traffic in real time.
Monitor your wireless access points and routers with our DPI software and meet challenges in your network analytics, traffic management and network security as they occur. Thanks to fine-grained application control, your network operates efficiently and offers high-level security, thus improving quality of experience (QoE) and quality of service (QoS) for wireless home and business applications.
