Solana separates topology discovery, encrypted-traffic classification and anomaly monitoring across SmartHawk, TrafficWiz and SmartFlow. TrafficWiz analyzes flow behaviour without decrypting payloads, with labelling, model-training and classification modules for integrated deployments. R1.7 added first-packet VPN-provider recognition. SmartFlow complements signature tools using statistical flow analysis. Solana's May 2026 SUSTAINET participation extends the research pathway for high-speed network visibility rather than proving universal threat detection.

Evidence of maturity
Marketed network software with a supplier-reported 2022 federal training/beta pilot and documented Public Safety Canada development funding. May 2026 SUSTAINET participation is research activity.
Commercial availability
Product inquiry and OEM/API integration through Solana. Validate classification accuracy, false positives, throughput, privacy controls and training-data suitability on the customer's network.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
Network telemetry classification and anomaly detection could improve awareness and assurance for distributed mission networks; this is a derived fit assessment.

Public Safety Canada lists a C$124,883.81 TrafficWiz contribution for December 2020–March 2022 to improve configuration templates, feature engineering and usability for cyber specialists and law enforcement. These were funded development objectives and expected benefits, not proof of current RCMP operational deployment.
SmartFlow applies more than 20 statistical measures to NetFlow and similar flow data, complementing signature-based tools with behaviour and anomaly analysis. It can operate alone or with SmartHawk topology discovery; the supplier’s zero-day language is not a guarantee that every attack is detected.
