Transforming DPI into Strategic Governance
DPI Services Enablement
As demand for traffic visibility, performance optimization, and regulatory compliance grows across industries and governments, DPI is no longer just a telco tool - it’s a strategic platform.
We enable two powerful deployment models to meet commercial and compliance-driven needs.
Model A • How It Works
Under a centralized control plane operated by the service provider, telecom operators can deliver DPI-based services to enterprise customers, government agencies, and regulated verticals such as healthcare, defense, and education. In contrast, managed service providers offer analytics, threat detection, and lawful intercept capabilities as fully managed, service-based solutions.
• The Service Provider hosts and manages the DPI Control Plane (CP).
• Data Plane (DP) instances are deployed at the edge of each client’s network (physical, virtual, or cloud-based).
• The central Control Plane manages all Data Planes remotely - enforcing policies, collecting traffic metadata, and generating reports.
Outcome • Telcos and Service Providers can monetize DPI as a value-added service, while clients gain real-time visibility, security, and compliance.
Model A • DPI-as-a-Service
KEY CAPABILITIES
**Multi-Tenant Control Plane **• Isolate traffic, analytics, and policies per client.
**Lightweight Data Planes **• Deployable on Client Premise Equipment (CPE), data centers, or clouds.
**White-Label Dashboards **• Clients view only their own traffic and insights.
**Flexible Monetization **• Charge per traffic volume, feature set, or policy tier.
DISTRIBUTED DATA PLANES IN CLIENT ENVIRONMENTS
• Enterprises subscribe to DPI services for SLA monitoring and encrypted traffic visibility.
• Governments outsource lawful intercept infrastructure to compliant telcos.
• Telcos offer advanced threat detection, quota control, and performance analytics as managed services.
• Agencies access DPI data without owning hardware or operational resources.
Model A • Key Benefits
Monetization
Offer DPI to clients as a paid service
Deployment Flexibility
Distributed DPs at client locations
Stakeholders
Telco (provider), Enterprises, Agencies
Multi-Tenant Control Plane
Yes (telco manages all clients)
Audit & Compliance
Tenant-level reports and dashboards
Security & Privacy
Traffic isolation per tenant
Revenue Model
Subscription, tiered services
Model B • How It Works
Telecom Operators are required to enable lawful visibility and policy enforcement
• They manage both the Data Plane and their own Control Plane for their own DPI purposes.
Government Agencies seek real-time digital oversight - without taking over infrastructure
• They run an independent Control Plane, with secure access to the same Data Plane infrastructure deployed at Telco/Service Provider Networks.
National Regulators, law enforcement, or cybersecurity agencies
• Both Control Planes enforce their own rules, monitor data, and generate reports - with strict separation of scope and permissions.
Outcome • Enables sovereign, scalable, and lawful oversight - without duplication, network risk, or compliance gaps.
Model B • Federated DPI with Multi-Control Plane Access
KEY CAPABILITIES
Role-based Data Access • The Telco sees commercial metrics. The Government entity sees regulatory indicators.
**Full Auditability **• Logs, intercepts, and decisions are recorded and legally traceable.
Compliance Dashboards • Traffic classification, encrypted flows, KPIs for lawful and policy-based enforcement.
Zero-trust Architecture • Encrypted, authenticated, and isolated communication between CPs and DPs.
With this approach, the Service Provider owns the Data Plane and Control Plane for their own purposes. Governments or Agencies operate their own separate, specific Control Plane. Both entities access the shared DPI Infrastructure securely, deployed in telcos' or Service Providers’ networks.
REAL-WORLD USE CASES
• Governments gain DPI visibility into national networks without the capital burden of owning the infrastructure.
• Agencies enforce child protection, digital sovereignty, or net neutrality policies.
• Telcos meet regulatory mandates while retaining control of their operations.
• Security incidents trigger automated alerts across both stakeholder domains.
Model B • Key Benefits
Monetization
Not direct monetization, but compliance cost savings.
Deployment Flexibility
Telco Networks DPs, federated CPs.
Stakeholders
Telco, Government/Regulators.
Multi-Tenant Control Plane
Each stakeholder manages their own Control Plane.
Audit & Compliance
Lawful intercept, traffic oversight.
Security & Privacy
Role-based access, no raw data leakage.
Revenue Model
Strategic national compliance and trust.
