12 years of expertise in the market
More than 2000+ installations worldwide
No vendor lock-in
State-of-the-art analysis and filtering technology
Stingray Service Gateway -
a feature-rich traffic management platform.
This DPI-based software is designed to inspect, classify and process packets according to the tasks of the ISP. It doesn’t depend on a particular server hardware supplier and can be flexibly adapted to business requirements.
Determining over 6000 protocols.
Support for the following operation modes: in-line, using routing asymmetry in outgoing traffic, and traffic mirroring mode.
Subscriber management with dynamic IP-addressing and with multiple IP addresses.
Possibility to scale the solution to provide traffic handling up to 4,6 Tbit/s.
Scopes of application
The products developed by VAS Experts are used in high-loaded systems of large fixed-line operators. Multifunctionality of the solutions allows to use them in the corporate segment as well: for organization of public Wi-Fi, optimization and reorganization of networks, control of networks at sites. VAS Experts products are used by Internet providers, IPTV service providers and data centers.

Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) enables traffic prioritization using DPI, ensuring critical applications get the necessary bandwidth. This improves overall network performance and reduces delays in sensitive services. QoS is a key factor in maintaining stable access to IP telephony, IPTV, video conferencing, and other latency-dependent systems. By analyzing traffic in real time, it adjusts resource allocation based on application needs.Traffic Filtering
Telecom networks must comply with regional regulations requiring the blocking of illegal or harmful content. Stingray Service Gateway (SG) provides a flexible, scalable solution for traffic filtering in accordance with local laws.Quality of Experience
Quality of Experience (QoE) is a software solution that measures how subscribers perceive service quality. Based on DPI data, it helps operators improve customer satisfaction, reduce churn, and increase ARPU.Access Control List
Unlike traditional network ACLs that define service ports or domain names on a third-tier OSI, access to which is allowed or denied, the Stingray platform manages traffic up to the 7th level of OSI. This means that one can restrict or allow access to certain services, applications, resources for specific users or groups of users.Mini-Firewall
Mini-Firewall is a Stingray SG feature designed to protect subscribers from hacking and malicious activity.Lawful Interception
Lawful Interception (LI) enables telecom providers to legally grant law enforcement access to private communications to ensure state security. Stingray LI supports interception, storage, and analysis of VoIP, landline, and internet traffic.Advantages of Stingray Service Gateway
1/4
Independent platform
Customer is not dependent on a specific hardware vendor, gets the opportunity to reduce capital costs and flexibly scale the solution based on business needs
2/4
State-of-the-art analysis and filtering technology
With Stingray SG, you can analyze packets in transit up to Layer 7 of the OSI model.
Not just by standard port numbers. Deep behavioral analysis of traffic allows you to recognize applications that do not use known headers and structures for communication.
3/4
Multifunctionality
Stingray Service Gateway integrates multiple functionalities into a single platform, such as real time analytics, channel allocation between subscribers and the total bandwidth management (QoS), BRAS/BNG, CG-NAT, and dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support. This reduces the need for multiple devices, saving space, power, and management overhead. It simplifies network architecture and improves operational efficiency.
4/4
Scalability
The Stingray platform provides scalability up to 4.6 Tbit/s traffic processing and fast license migration to new equipment. This simplifies network development planning as the number of subscribers and traffic grows.
