R&S®Probe Observer is a high-performance, ready-to-use network analytics solution developed by ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company. It extracts data from a passive copy of live network traffic, ensuring integrity, security, and peak performance. Designed for communication service providers (CSPs), it enables real-time traffic analysis, proactive issue resolution, and deep visibility into subscriber behavior. Powered by the advanced VPP DPI engine R&S®vPACE, it delivers unmatched accuracy and performance for modern network environments.

Features

• Live Traffic Processing: Analyzes network traffic in real time to detect QoS deviations and optimize bandwidth.
• High Accuracy & Reliability: Identifies IP traffic with virtually no false positives.
• Encrypted Traffic Intelligence: Uses ML and DL techniques to classify encrypted traffic.
• Subscriber Visibility: Maps subscriber-based traffic behavior while maintaining privacy through anonymized views.
• Flow Enrichment: Adds metadata such as geolocation lookups for deeper analysis.
• Customizable Dashboards: Visualize key metrics and share insights with stakeholders.
• Centralized Management Interface: Configure and manage all components from a single interface.
• Analytics & Reporting: View network KPIs and aggregate data per subscriber.
• Flexible Deployment: Adapts to various network topologies and customer-specific implementations.
• Protocol-Specific Performance Indicators: Includes latency, jitter, TCP stats, and more.
