Telenet with the help of Sandvine’s Application and Network Intelligence portfolio is creating a new ‘amazing customer experience’ campaign. Telenet is a Belgium based leading mobile and cable operator. To create high-quality application experiences and to curb network congestion across its networks, Telenet uses a combination of real-time data, machine learning-powered analytics, and inline action.
The multi-year deal between the two companies will allow Telent to tap Sandvine’s suite of analytics-driven automation use cases to improve application performance across a growing universe of multi-access networks, devices, locations, users and ultimately 5G slices.
Bert Pelgrims, Tribe Lead Connectivity Platforms & Services, Telenet said: “The high degree of application and network intelligence we get with Sandvine’s portfolio will not only reveal how our customers are experiencing applications, but will give us the context we need to further improve and monetize services as we transition to 5G and expand our Cable and WiFi networks. Our ONE-connection-total-freedom offerings —’ONE’ and ‘ONEup’—break down the barriers between mobile and fixed data usage, so visibility across all of our network traffic, and contextual awareness about subscribers’ applications experiences, will help us enhance our digital services.”
Lyn Cantor, CEO, Sandvine said: “This Application and Network Intelligence expansion deal extends our long-term relationship with Telenet. We are proud to be a part of what has made Telenet a leading mobile and fixed digital services provider in its market, with a reputation for speed, security, reliability and privacy. By leveraging contextual and predictive analytics, as well as usage-based actions to secure and monetize applications, Telenet has been able to convert real-time data into higher quality application experiences and revenue growth.”

Sandvine’s ActiveLogic Hyperscale Data Plane builds on Telenet’s existing investments in the company’s analytics, network optimization and revenue generation use cases.
