Automated provisioning and remote management of devices are vital service delivery activities of ISPs, operators and carriers - helping to reduce costs, lead times and complexity as well as to deploy new subscriber services.

The Axiros Axess ACS solution platform is the leading subscriber Device Management system - deployed and productive at more than 35% of europe´s TOP 50 operators and carriers. 

The axACS-Appliance is a dedicated offering for regio carrier and ISPs  - giving them the full competetive edge and service profitability right away from start. Compared with the Axess ACS Platform, which can transcend any service on any device via any open protocol, the axACS-Appliance is ideally suited when it's about provisioning and real time support for standard services (e.g. Data, Voice, LAN settings) on TR-069 enabled devices.

This way regio carriers, local ISPs and city operators can take lasting advantage of

• zero touch provisioning
• subscriber self-service solutions,
• automated firmware and configuration management and
• the Axiros‘ interoperability guarantee, that ensures that all TR-069 standard compliant devices can be managed.

Main Features:

Easy Integration

The axACS-Appliance is easy to integrate into your existing infrastructure. All ACS features and appliance settings are accessible via web frontend. Powerful dynamic interfaces are available to integrate with your OSS/BSS systems. Wether you use the axACS-Appliance as a stand alone or as an integrated solution, you get the best solution for both. 

Grouping

Grouping of CPEs is a very important feature to implement massoperations. Firmware upgrades, whole new configuration settings or additional features can be scheduled to be brought to a wide range of managed devices automatically. The Axiros axACS-Appliance offers strong and flexible grouping methods. CPEs can be grouped by any combination of relevant CPE parameters. 

Security

Every management interaction on the axACS-Appliance is controlled by an advanced authentication and authorisation system. Management traffic is encrypted according to industry strength standards. The security mechanisms are in place for web management interaction as well as northbound calls.

Real CPE Interoperability

Despite the standardisation efforts by Broadband Forum and the resulting TR-069 protocol, unregulated aspects of the CWMP management protocol constantly lead to incompatibilities between CPEs and management systems. CPE Vendor independency is one of Axiros‘ core strength - the ACS appliance concentrates years of CPE management experience in a single device, giving you outstanding interoperability with any TR-069 compliant CPE. 

Remote CPE Diagnosis

With the remote CPE diagnosis features of the Axess ACS appliance, CPEs can be analysed in realtime support scenarios. Predefined diagnosis reports for common support tasks are already bundled and ready to be used.

High Availability

The axACS appliance is prepared for failover setups. Dual unit (master/slave) setups provide the necessary safety when high availability is needed. Automated mode switch over ensures continuos availability of your service delivery. 

CPE Management

Wether you need single CPE operations for realtime support or mass operations for a large number of CPEs, the Axiros ACS appliance fits both. Every parameter of a CPE that is made available via the TR-069 protocol can be managed and screened. All the device information needed by your support operators to analyse problems are at hand. Operations on large numbers of CPEs, like firmware updates or config file uploads, are carried out safely and reliable.
