Replace Sandvine with a high-performance DPI platform

Stingray Service Gateway — a DPI-based solution that unifies traffic filtering, QoS management, and QoE analytics for complete network visibility.
In 2024, Sandvine (AppLogic Networks) announced its exit from markets in over 50 countries, leaving many telecom operators in need of a reliable, high-performance alternative

Why Stingray Service Gateway is the best replacement for Sandvine

Full DPI functionality

Deep Packet Inspection with over 6,000 regularly updated application signatures.

Traffic Filtering & Policy Control

Advanced filtering by domains, categories, and protocols; flexible rule management.

QoS Management

Intelligent bandwidth control, traffic prioritization, and class-based shaping.

QoE Analytics

Real-time monitoring of latency, jitter, and user experience quality.

Technical advantages of Stingray SG

Deployment Flexibility

Stingray SG can be installed on any x86 server, reducing hardware costs.

High Performance & Efficiency

Processes up to 4.6 Tbps of traffic per cluster.

Adaptation for Local Markets

The platform can be customized to meet local regulatory requirements and compliance standards.

CUPS (Control and User Plane Separation)

It is a technology that separates control and user planes in communication networks. This means that network management and data transfer occur on different physical and logical elements, which increases the flexibility and scalability of the network.

Flexible IP–Subscriber Mapping

Stingray SG includes Sandvine-compatible features, including flexible IP–subscriber mapping. The system supports mapping by multiple logins or multiple IP addresses, with data imported from RADIUS, GTP, and BGP.

24/7 Technical Support

We provide 24/7 technical support, promptly addressing any challenges and customizing solutions to fit the unique requirements of every operator.

Additional advantages of Stingray Service Gateway

Stingray SG can apply control according to subscriber profile, subscribed plan and value-added service packages, session states (e.g. Location, roaming status), Time-Of-Day, Day-of-Week; Tethering traffic detection and restriction.

Management and analytics via web browser without the need to install separate applications.

For managing policies on multiple DPI systems simultaneously.

Fast report generation. Flexible aggregation storage to save disk space.

Enable quick identification of subscriber or network issues during initial troubleshooting.

Creating reports for any use case with flexible filters and settings, export to XLSX, CSV, PDF, PNG, sending on schedule or triggers via email, Telegram, and other third-party services.

Ability to add up to 4096 custom signatures based on IP, SNI, ASN, as well as grouping them.

Unified Core Network Platform

Stingray SG is a scalable solution for fixed operators — from regional ISPs to tier-1 providers. Running on standard x86 hardware, it scales from 2 to 360 Gbps and can be deployed anywhere in the world.

Seamless integration with BNG and CG-NAT enables flexible tariff plans, strengthens subscriber loyalty, and unifies core network management and IP resource optimization within a single intelligent platform.
