PacketFront's automated broadband solution consists of several integrated products. The central product is BECS™, the integrated provisioning and control system that acts as the control and decision point in the network. The ASR 4000 is the policy enforcement point in the network and is placed as close as possible to the end users. BECS, together with the ASRs comprises the base for PacketFront's automated broadband solution.

The ASR 4000 are purpose-built for point-to-point FTTH access and for fast Ethernet broadband aggregation . It delivers top of the line performance and functionality with full multilayer capabilities, redundancy and manageability with a minimum of maintenance.
