The Paraqum Journey

2014

Paraqum Technologies was founded in 2014 as part of an initiative by the Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, University of Moratuwa as means of expanding the Electronic industry in Sri Lanka.

By December 2014, Paraqum Technologies became the first to demonstrate 4K real-time HEVC decoding on a commercial grade FPGA – breaking the frequency barrier to decode 4K in real-time at less than 150 MHz.

2015

Simultaneously we were developing real-time Network Analytics solutions based on Deep Packet Inspection technology which can analyze high speed network traffic in real-time up to the application level.

2016

In early 2016, we released our first series of Network Analytic products which provide real-time visibility in high-speed networks up to application level.

2017

This was later followed by the release of the Traffic Shaper product series, which not only provides visibility but also gives the user the ability to exercise unprecedented control over network usage.

With this networking product lineup, Paraqum Technologies is able to provide a complete network management solution to a broader customer segment ranging from small scale businesses to large enterprises as well as Internet Service Providers and Telecom Operators.

Present

By now our product line up has been revamped through integration of advanced features and performance optimization to meet the heightened customer demands!
