WATERLOO, ON, May 2, 2016 /CNW/ - Sandvine, (TSX:SVC) a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for fixed and mobile operators, today announced that TWT, a high skilled Italian company focusing on unified communication and cloud based services, selected Sandvine's Fairshare Traffic Management in March 2016 to deliver high-quality network services and improve the Internet quality of experience (QoE) for their wholesale and business Internet customers.

Sandvine's Fairshare Traffic Management is an intelligent congestion management solution that aims to solve the problem of access network congestion for CSPs, allowing them to reduce operating costs, extend the lifetime of their infrastructure, and improve overall Internet quality of experience for subscribers.
