AMNET Selects Sandvine to Protect Network Integrity and Subscriber Experience

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - CABLE-TEC EXPO, June 16/PRNewswire/ -- Sandvine Incorporated, the world leader in intelligent broadband network
management, today announced that AMNET, leading cable Internet provider in
Central America, has selected Sandvine to protect the integrity of its
broadband network and subscriber quality of experience (QoE).

Sandvine's award-winning solution empowers service providers with tools
to understand subscriber behaviour, protect subscriber applications from
malicious traffic, differentiate their services and ensure subscriber
satisfaction.

Central American based AMNET has selected Sandvine to mitigate the impact
of malicious traffic on subscribers, applications and its network. Worms,
spam Trojan, DNS, DoS attacks, and bandwidth-intensive applications can
degrade the broadband experience for unprotected residential Internet users
and result in thousands to millions of dollars lost to network outages,
customer support costs, and unplanned network expenditures for broadband
service providers.

"We chose Sandvine's intelligent management solution to protect our
network and our subscribers against malicious traffic," said Daniel
Hindelang, Regional Manager, AMNET. "Subscribers expect high quality of
service from their network connection and look to us to ensure their valuable
applications are protected and delivered at the optimal level of
performance."

"Sandvine provides more than just basic security, we endeavour to ensure
the overall network integrity of service provider networks," said Tom
Donnelly, executive vice president, marketing and sales for Sandvine. "It's
about adding new network intelligence that allows service providers to
protect their networks against malicious traffic, protect individual
subscriber quality of experience, prioritizing, and optimizing performance on
broadband applications they use every day."
