Elevate your network's IQ: ipoque's AI-driven DPI technology unveiled

ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company, showcases its groundbreaking Encrypted Traffic Intelligence (ETI) solution at MWC Barcelona 2025, leveraging AI-powered deep packet inspection (DPI) to enhance network security, connectivity, and quality of experience. This innovative technology provides real-time application awareness, dynamic network shaping, and optimized resource allocation, empowering telecom operators to make informed decisions and improve overall network efficiency.

ipoque, a leading deep packet inspection (DPI) software provider and Rohde & Schwarz subsidiary, showcases its groundbreaking Encrypted Traffic Intelligence (ETI) solution at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona - Fira Gran Via, hall 5, booth 5A80 from March 3 to 6, 2025. This innovative technology is already revolutionizing the way telecom operators manage their networks, ensuring unparalleled security, connectivity, and quality of experience.

ipoque's ETI technology, integrated into R&S®PACE 2 and R&S®vPACE, leverages machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) to classify encrypted, obfuscated, or anonymized traffic with unprecedented accuracy. This enables real-time application awareness, dynamic network shaping, optimized resource allocation, and enhanced security threat response. By providing actionable insights into encrypted traffic, ETI empowers telecom operators to make informed decisions, improving overall network efficiency and subscriber experience.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way networks are run and managed. By leveraging advanced statistical models and machine learning algorithms, AI engines can analyze terabytes of network data, providing predictive capabilities for automated decision-making. In network traffic management, AI-powered predictive capabilities equip devices with forecasts of future events, enabling real-time optimization and improved security.

A key application of AI in networking is deep packet inspection (DPI), where it enhances traffic detection and filtering capabilities. ipoque's OEM DPI engine R&S®PACE 2 and its VPP-native counterpart, R&S®vPACE, feature encrypted traffic intelligence (ETI), leveraging machine learning algorithms, deep learning algorithms, and high-dimensional data analysis, alongside advanced caching.

In combination with advanced behavioral, statistical, and heuristic analysis, ETI identifies protocols, applications, and service types without decrypting and re-encrypting traffic in-transit. This addresses decryption concerns such as data privacy, exposure of critical business information, and added latencies. Encrypted traffic intelligence enables users to classify encrypted video traffic by underlying protocol, application, and service type, using thousands of application signatures indexed in weekly updated libraries.

Interestingly, AI-powered DPI can further enhance a network’s AI-driven predictive capabilities. DPI analytics form fine-grained, real-time feeds that enable AI engines to keep abreast of network events, improving AI ‘learning’ and addressing the relevancy of past data inputs. This allows AI engines to match traffic irregularities to specific threats and correlate certain applications to network outcomes.

Visit ipoque at MWC Barcelona 2025 (hall 5, booth 5A80) to witness the revolutionary ETI technology and AI-powered DPI solutions in action. Meet with ipoque's experts to discuss the latest advancements in DPI technology and how they can benefit your organization.
