Television deals, ratings generate record-setting NFL revenueAwareness still at disadvantage in decades-long battle for tennis pay equityDemonstrators hold signs and wave Belarus flags during a protest outside Francisco Partners headquarters in San Francisco, on Sept. 18, 2020. The government of Belarus shut down access to much of the internet during a crucial election that August by using equipment manufactured by Sandvine.

However, before those deals could close, in June of this year, Sandvine laid off most of the team of about a dozen people who were working on the product, according to the people. That ended efforts to sell it in North America and left other global sales in limbo, since so many employees were let go, they said.In all, Sandvine’s leadership cut employees from offices in the US, Canada, Sweden and India earlier this year and reassigned scores of others amid company reorganization, the people said.

Sandvine, originally founded in Canada, was acquired by Francisco Partners and combined with Procera Networks in 2017, in a deal worth $444 million. Early in 2022, Sandvine began expanding a new team focused on making more sales to government agencies, and added to its suite of network management tools its Digital Witness product, which was tailor-made for the purpose of government internet surveillance.
