About Packet Design
Packet Design is transforming the way network operators plan, deploy, and assure services to help them accelerate time to revenue, decrease churn, and contain costs. Modern IP/MPLS networks call for next-gen analytics and orchestration software but most management tools fall short. With real-time telemetry for millisecond by millisecond visibility into service paths, historical and predictive analytics, and automated service provisioning, the Explorer Suite is future-proof management software that is used in hundreds of the world’s largest, most complex networks.
