Automation & Control
PacketFront's solution for automation and control of
broadband networks includes a number of unique centralised systems that are
tailor-made for reducing the complexities of broadband network deployment with a
special focus on the cost-efficient control and provisioning of triple-play
services. Our solution is successfully in use in some of the world's
most advanced broadband networks
today.
The principal component of the automation and control
solution is our award-winning control and
provisioning system, BECS™, a centralised system for automation in the
network. BECS controls the network elements and the services,
and uses the distributed ASR
series of broadband routers
to enforce the control policies. The resource
demanding tasks of configuring network elements and services are
automated, and operational costs are saved.
Our Subscriber
Management Tool, SMT, and Helpdesk
Management Tool, HMT, offer service providers tools for end-user
administration and fast troubleshooting. We strongly believe in letting
end users themselves activate and provision the services of their choice. For
this we offer the Service Selection Portal, SSP.
Our offering within automation and control provides
a valuable system and tools for cost efficient operation and service
differentiation of the broadband network.
The software included in this solution performs several
important tasks that are vital for a profitable broadband
operation. Our solution provides automation, which
is the key to cost efficiency. It also
offers advanced tools for service differentiation and for providing
services-on-demand - important for increasing the revenue base.
Furthermore, PacketFront's automation and control solution
gives flexibility in the choice of business model. Our solution
is designed for an open access (wholesale) environment,
providing network owners and service providers with unique opportunities for a
sustainable broadband network today and in the future.
