Common GPON Challenges

  • Issues With Service Installation Quality
  • NMS/EMS Vendor-Specific Provisioning
  • Slow Detection of Network Problems
  • Interoperability among OLT and ONT from different vendors

Why it’s Important To Solve Service Installation Quality Issues

Customers Expect “First-Time Right”: Customers count on-field technicians to solve installation issues in one visit.

If not resolved, this can affect:

  • Customer quality of experience
  • Customer loyalty
  • Truck-roll costs

Solution: Equipt Technicians With A Field Service App

Assist field technicians and customers in the Moment Of Truth

  • Automate field service management processes
  • Self-service installation and activation
  • Solve common support issues
  • Certify installation before leaving the customer premise

Why Networks Need Automated Workflows With Zero-Touch Provisioning, Orchestration & Service Activation

Dynamic Networks and Proliferation of Devices Is The New Norm– NMS/EMS provisioning focused on individual, vendor-specific network elements can’t keep up with current demands. They also cannot provide automatic rollback and fallout management.

If not resolved, this can affect:

  • Time-to-market
  • OPEX
  • Digitalization
  • Offering new, dynamic services

Solution: TM Forum Open APIs for 3rd Party System

Deploy APIs required to integrate with third-party systems, based on an interoperability standard such as TM Forum REST API Adoption.

Why It’s Important to Detect Network Problems Quickly

Customers Don’t Want To Wait – Customers don’t want to spend time on the phone while an agent scrambles to find a solution to their issue, or worse yet, have to troubleshoot an issue that could be solved before he/she even identified it.

If not resolved, this can affect:

  • Customer Experience
  • Customer Loyalty
  • Reputation
  • Call Center OPEX
  • Attrition

Solution: Proactively Detect Network Problems

Evaluate access services according to defined and configurable thresholds

  • Automatically identify non-compliance of predetermined service levels
  • Automatically notify customers of service issue and corresponding repair in process
  • Detect both individual and area service issues

Why It’s Important To Solve Multi-Vendor OLTs And ONTs Interoperability Issues

Interoperability issues pose a lot of risks – Interoperability among multi-vendor OLTs and ONTs complicate logistics, are a burden on inventory, increase deployment time and expose the operator to human error.

If not resolved, this can affect:

  • Customer Experience
  • Inventory Costs
  • OPEX
  • CAPEX
  • Time-to-revenue

Solution: ACS Integration For TR-069 Device Management & PPPoE & IPoE Support

  • Enable immediate provisioning of new services by automatically updating the user’s CPE
  • Supports flexible session type PPPoE & IPoE to suit your specific authentication needs
