Sandvine has received Network Policy Control orders from two Western European mobile operators totaling over $4.5 million. The orders expand existing Sandvine deployments that enable “bill shock” notification and differentiated subscriber services. The customers are part of a multinational operator group with properties in Europe and Latin America.
The company expects to recognize the majority of related revenues in the first half of 2013.

From the Graveyard
You just read about Sandvine. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Procera Networks built DPI, policy enforcement and network intelligence. What became of it?
Procera Networks brought DPI, policy enforcement and network intelligence to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Sandvine for US$444M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Sandvine today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
