Just got back from a great week at the NTCA/OPASTCO Expo in Orlando where we were thrilled to be an Inner Circle Sponsor this year.   We appreciate the excitement and interest from NTCA/OPASTCO members and are proud to be an NTCA Affiliate vendor member. We are equally fired up about servicing this market and helping rural providers navigate the path to service-enabled networks. Thanks to the many folks who stopped by our booth to learn more about Procera.

One thing that came through loud and clear is that our recent work with billing vendors is already providing great benefit to our partners, customers and is also resonating well with prospects. Vendor cooperation is critical to your success and our partners and customers all agreed that Procera has established itself as an able, open and willing participant in these integrations. We take our cues from you and realize that no one is served by secretive and proprietary behavior designed to limit customer choice and benefit the few that, frankly, have had a fair number of shots at this apple.

Well, Procera’s maiden voyage at WISPAPALOOZA was a great success! Nearly 200 people attending the show came by the booth, including several existing Procera WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) customers. Folks stopped by to discuss how our PacketLogicTM platform can help WISPs optimize customer QoE (Quality of Experience) while helping reduce WISP Operational Expenses. It was great to see you all! Needless to say, we all came away charged up about our prospects in this exciting and growing segment of the service provider market. As an acknowledged “up-and-comer” in this particular market segment, we feel a great affinity to the entrepreneurial spirit exhibited by the many WISPs attending the conference.  Read more [+]

The Procera booth was humming with activity as video streaming, device proliferation, and VoD are driving schools to seek more scalable and intelligent tools for managing the increasing bandwidth demands from students and faculty.

My days were booked with customer meetings and it quickly became apparent that our Smart Campus suite’s unique capability to integrate with NAC devices such as Impulse Point, Cisco Clean Access, and Bradford Networks was one of the key points that everyone was impressed with.

There was a very positive buzz at the show and when all is said and done, I keep coming back to four key areas that customers were very interested in:

Device-aggregated Consumption Quotas ­- innovative schools such as University of Dayton are using Procera’s Smart Campus feature to roll up bandwidth consumption over multiple devices associated with a single student and apply a rolling time-based quota that dynamically moves abusers into a “penalty box” where they experience reduced bandwidth.
