The increasing adoption of cloud and IoT, a growing remote workforce and the proliferation of new forms of cyber threats are pushing service providers to continuously improve and adapt their connectivity offerings to the needs of today’s enterprises. A key player in the SD-WAN and SASE space, BBT.live, is catalyzing service provider software-defined connectivity (SDx) services with its BeBroadband™ platform, a cloud-based solution that bridges branches and users in any location, across any connectivity -– 5G, 4G, xDSL, or MPLS. BeBroadband™ drives telco-grade SDx services to simplify traffic management and increase network security, while providing end-to-end visibility and control.

This has led to BBT.live’s partnership with ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company, where IPOQUE’s next-gen DPI engine, R&S®PACE 2, is deployed in BeBroadband™ to enable real-time application and threat awareness, paving the way for dynamic network management and improved threat detection. Leveraging IPOQUE’s cutting-edge IP traffic classification techniques and thousands of latest signatures, BeBroadband™ enables service providers to intelligently abstract network resources and provision connectivity services for hundreds of enterprise customers.

In this webinar, you will:

1. Understand service provider challenges in ensuring reliable and secure connectivity and how these are addressed by BBT.live’s BeBroadband™ delivered as a service
2. Discover why DPI-driven fine-grained traffic visibility is crucial for IP-based network solutions in delivering intelligent networks
