"These customers have proven that the two solutions work together to offer enhanced capabilities, such as application prioritization for VoIP and bandwidth abuse control."
Several service providers have already deployed Procera's PacketLogic appliances in combination with SkyPilot's wireless mesh infrastructure. They include Bamboo Telecom of Spain and McKay Computing Services of Australia. Several other SkyPilot operators are also currently evaluating Procera's PacketLogic.
"Procera and SkyPilot have a truly synergistic partnership," said Albert Lopez, Vice President of Business Development and Product Management at Procera Networks. "PacketLogic delivers the most accurate visibility into network traffic passing through SkyPilot's best-of-breed wireless mesh infrastructure, giving SkyPilot's customers the power and control to drill down to the user level to ensure the best experience and highest level of quality for all users."
Procera Networks and SkyPilot Networks are both located in the Silicon Valley and expect to continue to build the partnership to leverage both companies' growing worldwide presence.
