January–March 2026 Digest
The first quarter of 2026 was packed with deployments, international partnership growth, and new technological milestones for the Stingray platform at VAS Experts. Here’s a look at the key highlights from the beginning of the year.

Stingray Platform Development

Scaling Stingray to 9.6 Tbps

In Q1, we confirmed the platform’s scalability up to 9.6 Tbps of total traffic throughput.
The DPI cluster architecture is based on a linear scaling model: performance increases through the addition of DPI appliances and NPB load balancers. Each additional NPB provides up to 1.2 Tbps of extra performance capacity (1 Tbps download + 200 Gbps upload). The maximum cluster configuration supports up to 8 NPBs and enables processing of up to 9.6 Tbps of total traffic.

100G Card Support for SSG-240

During the first quarter, the VAS Experts team introduced 100G card support for SSG-240, enabling operators to build higher-performance DPI solutions for high-load networks.

Broadband and Mobile Network Solutions Development

3GPP Compliance and Roaming Restoration

We shared a case study on restoring 4G roaming in Australia using our in-house developed PGW while maintaining full 3GPP compliance.

Network Scaling and Wi-Fi Hotspot Deployment Case Study

We published a new case study on operator network scaling using the Stingray platform along with Wi-Fi Hotspot deployment. The project included expanding network infrastructure, providing Wi-Fi access for subscribers, and improving overall network stability.

Expanding the Partner Network in Asia

New Partnership in Vietnam

VAS Experts signed a partnership agreement with Vietnamese system integrator SaoBacDau Technologies Group.

The partnership focuses on developing projects for telecom operators and enterprise customers across Southeast Asia. ITG Corporation and ITGLOBAL.COM act as solution distributors.

Partnership Expansion in Pakistan

During the first quarter, we also signed partnership agreements with Vertical Business Solutions and Connect Communications in Pakistan. The main focus of the cooperation is the deployment of Stingray solutions for Pakistani telecom operators, including traffic management, service enablement, and network efficiency improvement.

New Articles and Research

In the first quarter, we published a series of articles covering telecom infrastructure development, mobile networks, and protection of operator networks against cyberattacks.

Among the publications:
