DPI FOR AI SUCCESS: Unlock AI Innovation with High-Quality Data
Embedded DPI & Traffic Intelligence
Next-Generation DPI Engine
Detailed Network Traffic Visibility up to Layer 7 with Next-Generation DPI and Traffic Classification
Qosmos ixEngine for Detailed Network Traffic Intelligence
Enea’s Qosmos ixEngine® is a commercial grade, next-generation Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and classification engine that recognizes over 4700 protocols and applications, more than any other DPI software on the market.
Delivered as a Software Development Kit (SDK), it is composed of software libraries, modules and tools that are easily integrated into new or existing solutions. Developers of networking and security products benefit from market-leading traffic identification techniques and next-generation network intelligence technology to bring detailed, real-time traffic visibility to their solutions up to Layer 7.
Developed specifically for integration into 3rd party applications, Qosmos ixEngine, removes the need to develop in-house protocol and application recognition capabilities, simplifying product development and accelerating delivery and time-to-market.

The Enea Qosmos ixEngine is the industry gold standard for network traffic data. It offers a level of accuracy and depth conventional DPI and packet sniffing tools cannot match. Having such a rich source of clean, well-structured, ready-to-use data will enable us to dramatically improve our performance, work more efficiently and devote maximum time to AI model innovation.
-
We appreciate the loyal support and customer dedication shown by the Enea team, and we, and our customers, have been well-served by Enea’s innovations not only in deep packet inspection but also in first packet classification and machine learning-enhanced encrypted traffic classification.
-
Our strategy is to offer a scalable and cost-efficient TaaS solution that minimizes business risks and 5G technical challenges, and enables operators to quickly bring simple, highly differentiated, and complete services to their target markets. By embedding Enea’s Qosmos technology, we are able to deliver on this promise, and to ensure a superb experience for both our customers and their subscribers.
-
As networks have evolved, it has become critical to implement intelligent network security as a second line of defense to existing endpoint- and perimeter-based threat detection and response systems. This is true for everyone, but especially so for our critical network customers, for whom the stakes of a breach are very high. We are therefore very pleased to partner with Enea to ensure that our platform provides the most effective and reliable network defense possible.
-
As revenues per subscriber fall and operating expenditures rise, operators value our pragmatic approach to helping them compete on a superior customer experience while conserving precious capital for transformation. With Qosmos ixEngine inside NetQPro solutions, operators can build a strong future and develop applications utilizing collected data to support their business growth without compromising on service quality.
-
We ran a full benchmarking for the entire DPI market and
ixEngine was considered superior to the competition,
in terms of performance, DPI capabilities, and footprint. -
The decisive factors were the accuracy and scope of their first packet and encrypted traffic classification, their coverage of SaaS apps, and the unprecedented DPI performance we were able to achieve with Qosmos ixEngine® integrated into our Vector Packet Processing (VPP) architecture.
