With Sandvine exiting the MENA market, telecom operators across the region are urgently seeking a reliable, full-featured alternative for network visibility, traffic control, and regulatory compliance.
In September 2024, Sandvine — one of the global leaders in network intelligence — officially announced its withdrawal from 56 countries, including Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and other Gulf states. As a result, local telecom operators and system integrators have been left looking for high-quality DPI alternatives to ensure uninterrupted traffic monitoring and policy enforcement.
To help address this critical market shift, VAS Experts is hosting a dedicated webinar:
“Replacing Sandvine: How to Ensure Traffic Control and Optimization with Stingray Service Gateway”
📅 Date: April 23, 2025 | 🕚 Time: 11:00–12:00 (UTC+3)
During the session, VAS Experts will present Stingray Service Gateway (SSG) — a next-generation DPI platform designed to fully replace Sandvine’s core functionalities. The webinar will guide participants through real-world migration strategies, integration tips, and a live demonstration of SSG in action.
This webinar is tailored for:
- Telecom operators and ISPs affected by Sandvine’s market exit
- Network architects and engineers seeking a drop-in DPI replacement
- CTOs and compliance teams looking to maintain service quality and legal requirements

About Stingray Service Gateway
Developed by VAS Experts, SSG is already helping operators improve subscriber experience, optimize network performance, and reduce churn — all on standard x86 hardware with throughput up to 120 Gbps per server.
Stingray Service Gateway is a multifunctional platform based on Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology. It is designed to inspect, classify, and process network packets in accordance with the needs of the service provider.
The DPI solution can be delivered either as a ready-to-use hardware-software appliance in partnership with hardware manufacturer ITPOD, or as standalone software to be installed on the customer’s existing infrastructure.
ITGLOBAL.COM DMCC, based in Dubai, is the official distributor of Stingray Service Gateway in the Gulf region and works closely with local integrators to bring these advanced DPI capabilities to the MENA telecom market.
