Contd. AppLogic Networks (regard Sandvine)
While we acknowledge prior third-party misuse of Sandvine’s products, none of the
Sandvine products were controlled for export control purposes and none had or has the
capability to decrypt user data (i.e., voice, video, messaging, etc.) or inject spyware.
Sandvine was not aware of Geedge Networks as identified in your email and any hardware
repurposed as you have noted is off-the-shelf Dell and Niagara equipment that does not
contain any special capability that is unique to Sandvine’s solution.
As a matter of historical practice, where Sandvine has become aware of allegations of
potential product misuse involving its products, it has conducted an internal review to
understand the facts and taken steps to inform and work with its partners and/or
customers to detect, prevent, or cease any potential product misuse, particularly as the use
of Sandvine products was conditioned upon end user compliance with certain standards,
including, but not limited to, complying with laws and regulations and not using Sandvine
products for mass surveillance of individuals or inappropriate internet censorship. Sandvine
exited its business in Pakistan in 2023, revoked all licenses to use its products in the
jurisdiction, disabled the software, and notified its relevant customers and/or partners of
the same.
The Sandvine solution sold in the jurisdiction has not been in use since that time. AppLogic
Networks has a clear commitment to championing human rights and we take this
commitment seriously. As such, we share your media outlet’s commitment and efforts to
prevent, detect, and mitigate the risk of technology from being misused to violate human
rights globally.
We appreciate the opportunity to engage with you on such topics, particularly as the newly
formed AppLogic Networks evolves and strengthens its human rights due diligence policy
and processes. We also welcome the opportunity to engage further on these important
issues going forward.

whatsoever.
