Waterloo, Canada; November 29, 2007 - Sandvine, (TSX:SVC; AIM:SAND) a leading provider of Intelligent Broadband Network Solutions, today announced that it has launched the Sandvine Service Delivery Engine (SDE).

"Service providers are looking to build upon their broadband access business with new value-added services ranging from multimedia entertainment to enhanced communications," said Matt Davis, IDC Director, Consumer Multiplay Services."As more next generation services are delivered across a converged infrastructure, the increased demand on service provider networks will clearly drive the need to incorporate enhanced policy control to ensure a quality experience for their subscribers."
Through universal equipment signaling, the SDE allows policy enforcement network-wide, from the edge to the core. Characterized by a flexible, modular design, the SDE integrates with Sandvine's Policy Traffic Switches (PTS 14000 and PTS 8210) and network management solutions for a comprehensive policy strategy that addresses services, network security, traffic management and network demographics reporting.
