Sandvine partners with leading Swiss reseller to create better broadband networks

OnSpirix to offer sales and customer support for Sandvine’s award-winning network equipment products

Basingstoke, UK and Zug, Switzerland; Nov. 18, 2004 – Sandvine Incorporated has entered into a reseller agreement with onSpirix, enabling Switzerland’s most innovative broadband technology reseller to deliver Sandvine’s full suite of traffic management and worm mitigation products to Swiss ISPs.

OnSpirix has added Sandvine’s award-winning IP service control platform to its comprehensive broadband network solution set, providing end-to-end support encompassing consulting, implementation and post-sale support.

“Broadband ISPs cannot distinguish between rapidly evolving applications like VoIP and online gaming, making it impossible to control the quality of individual applications or price fairly for their use,” said Dave Caputo, CEO and president of Sandvine Incorporated. “With onSpirix’ as a partner we are much better positioned to help our Swiss service provider customers address these challenges, achieve new levels of profitability and protect the broadband experience for their subscribers.”

“Sandvine’s award-winning products have been fully qualified by OnSpirix and are now a key component of our IP service control offering,” said Max Siegrist, CEO of OnSpirix. “Switzerland’s service providers are clamouring for tools that will help them add programmable intelligence to their networks and improve their layer seven understanding of what subscribers actually use broadband for. We are very pleased to be working with Sandvine to address this demand.”
