BECS - Control and Provisioning System

BECS™ is the central control and provisioning system of PacketFront’s automated broadband solution. It provides network owners with unique capabilities when controlling network element and services in advanced triple-play networks, including:

• Automated configuration and software provisioning of network elements
• Automated provisioning of services to end users – in real time
• Unique control of carrier-class multicast services
• Fine-grained control, allowing open access per service

BECS offers automation in the control of end users, services and network elements, all in one system. This ensures excellent cost efficiency in operating a triple-play network. We believe that automation is the key to profitability!

BECS enables flexibility in the use of business models. The open-access business model provides an opportunity to invite 3rd party service providers to offer services over a shared infrastructure, offering valuable wholesale opportunities for the network owner.

Through BECS’ capability of providing fine-grained control, special treatment can be given for each individual service, allowing advanced service differentiation. 

  

BECS provides all of the functions needed to configure and provision the network elements, to control and provision service profiles to hundreds of thousands of end users, and to provide vital information for efficient troubleshooting, correct billing, etc.

Security, traceability, QoS, IP address management, and restrictions to multicast services – all vital areas in the distribution of triple-play services – are all included in BECS. 

The system is highly scaleable and ensures high availability, making it ideal for both small-scale and large-scale broadband deployments. Easy and cost-efficient integration with existing 3rd party OSS/BSS systems are catered for at the BECS Mediation Point, ensuring a future-proof system that can interact with all the business-critical systems of a network owner or a service provider.

BECS is the key enabler of sustainable and profitable broadband networks, and is successfully running in the most advanced triple-play networks around the world !
