At LTE World Summit 2015, ipoque released the R&S Net Sensor, an intelligent IP probe. R&S Net Sensor allows network operators and service providers to extract meaningful network traffic and subscriber behavior data and identify statistical trends both in mobile and fixed networks.
The R&S Net Sensor is the first ipoque product to be marketed under the Rohde & Schwarz brand. The Rohde & Schwarz corporate design now applies to all ipoque products, documentation, websites and trade fair exhibits, visibly demonstrating the company’s increased integration into the Rohde & Schwarz group. The strategic direction of the Leipzig based company remains the same and ipoque will continue to be the IP classification specialist within the Rohde & Schwarz group for the effective detection, classification and monitoring of network and subscriber traffic.
