Procera® Networks Inc. (NYSE Amex: PKT), the intelligent policy
enforcement company, today presented customer testimonial to
PacketLogic™ being deployed as the central intelligence point and
service enabler by small to mid-size Internet service providers
(ISPs) that build out broadband in rural areas with support from
the national Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP).
The Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP), which is funded via the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, as well as the 2009
Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is designed to accelerate the
deployment of infrastructure required for 2.5 million American
homes and businesses to receive vital high-speed internet access
that helps fuel their local economies. The administrator of the
program, the USDA's Rural Utilities Service (RUS), has granted
funding to hundreds of America's top rural service providers to
facilitate this mission. Awardees, like Arvig Communication
Systems, have begun receiving their funds and investing to meet the
goals of the BIP initiative.
Arvig Communication Systems, also known as ACS, is the leading
local multi-service communications provider serving residential
& business customers throughout northwestern Minnesota. In 2010
ACS was awarded funding through the BIP and, as an existing Procera
customer, found the PacketLogic traffic management system
instrumental in helping to project their future infrastructure
requirements.
"We've been impressed with the visibility and reporting provided
by Procera's PacketLogic product," said John Ketelhut, Internet
Operations Manager at ACS. "The visibility and policy enforcement
we receive from Procera is invaluable for helping us plan the
capacity required to support the projected explosive growth over
the coming three to five years, while at the same time enabling new
applications, services and devices rapidly gaining user acceptance
and impacting our network."
For ISPs like Arvig, PacketLogic becomes a central operations
center that provides vital network traffic intelligence. Capacity
and resource planning is performed through assessment and analysis
of projected traffic growth, and the reasons for that growth. The
intelligence and PacketLogic's policy enforcement capabilities
enable the rollout of new service tiers and packages, while at the
same time ensuring a quality experience and early detection and
mitigation of potential threats. The PacketLogic platform comes in
different sizes, enabling ISPs to make an investment based on their
current subscriber base, and grow with the exact same functionality
in the future. This, in combination with the contemporary product
design that fully supports IPv6, makes PacketLogic a future-proof
product selection.
"Procera has a well-established reputation for assisting
hundreds of independent service providers optimize their network
performance and better serve their customers," said Trevor Failor,
Director of Channel Sales, Americas, at Procera. "Our smaller
service provider customers love the fact that our systems provide
them with the same advanced features that our Tier-1 MSO customers
utilize, and which are critical for making informed investments in
their network infrastructure."
