Cloud DMS Is Your Multitool

Cloud DMS covers most of the tasks faced by the ISPs in terms of managing subscriber devices:

  • Automation of technical support

  • Services management

  • Software Update

  • Back up and restore device configurations

  • Compatible with CWMP (TR-069) protocols, such as xDSL modems, GPON terminals, Wi-Fi routers, VoIP gateways, STB, etc.

Features Of CloudDMS

ACS or USP Controller As A Service

Cloud DMS provides on-demand cloud TR-069 Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) on a pay-as-you-go basis. This allows you to have dedicated instances available over the Internet at your disposal at any time. For each instance, you can specify the required resources and configuration.

Interoperability

Cloud DMS can support any device fully or partially compatible with the TR-069 protocol and provides legacy support for other devices based on device capabilities and data models. If you have any special requirements, you can communicate through a change request form that you can fill out and send to us. There are no limitations on the execution of any standard RPC methods. If you need vendor-specific methods, we can add them too.

WiFi Optimization

If your devices support WiFi Radar functionality, which can be triggered remotely via NeighboringWiFiDiagnostic, then the Cloud DMS server can help you to estimate the quality and interference factor of the current WiFi environment and recommend the best settings for achieving maximum WiFi performance. Cloud DMS supports the management of both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.

Northbound Interface (NBI)

Cloud DMS is ready for OSS / BSS integration to create an integrated solution for faster development and deployment of new services. Cloud DMS provides OpenAPI 2.0 specification. It allows you to:

  • Read, add, update, or remove devices from the inventory

  • Execute any RPC method on a single device or within a group of devices

  • Execute diagnostics scenarios

  • Manage services (VOIP, HSI, WIFI, etc.)

Remote Diagnostics

Cloud DMS Service offers a set of standard TR-143 diagnostic functions and scenarios.

  • IPPing

  • TraceRoute

  • SpeedTest Download & Upload Diagnostics

  • UDPEcho and UDPEchoPlus

  • NSLookup Diagnostics

Device Onboarding

If your device is compliant with TR-069 it will be automatically recognized, preconfigured and ready to control. To manage your device, you only need to configure the ACS URL or USP Controller endpoint. You will be able to manage your CPE device immediately after its first successful connection with the ACS.

Support Portal

The Support Portal allows the technical support team to interact with subscriber devices in real-time mode. For example, they can find specific information about the subscriber network, update device firmware, run diagnostics to collect information, and solve other problems. The Support Portal reads the parameters from the managed device, presents them in a user-friendly form, and makes it easier to change settings. For advanced users, it is possible to manage CPE directly by using RPC methods.

Admin Portal

The Admin Portal is an administration UI from which you can perform mass-scale operations such as firmware upgrades and launch campaigns on multiple CPE devices. Additionally, administrators can manage the platform user base, view campaign results, and troubleshoot logs of scenarios that were launched on the CPE devices.

Security

Cloud DMS provides secure HTTPS connection for NBI and SBI. The CPE WAN Management protocol used for this purpose is designed to be highly secure. The security goals of the CPE WAN Management Protocol are as follows:

  • Prevent tampering with the management functions of a CPE or ACS, or the transactions that take place between them

  • Provide confidentiality for the transactions that take place between CPE and ACS

  • Allow appropriate authentication for each type of transaction

  • Prevent theft of service

Devices Behind NAT (TR-069 Only)

Cloud DMS supports different mechanisms defined by the BroadBand Forum for
management devices behind NAT.

  • UDP Connection Requests (STUN)

  • XMPP Connection Requests

If your devices do not support the standard mechanism, the problem can be solved through the special proxy, deployed in your network. Please, contact us for further information.

Benefit From Your Cloud DMS Today!

  • Next Generation ACS / USP Controller
    Modern ACS server supports multiple protocols and is equipped with all device management tasks.

  • Smart algorithms

    Integrating devices into Cloud DMS is now easier than ever before. The smart algorithms can adapt the portal to your CPE devices without additional efforts and costs.

  • Any tool that you need

    Cloud DMS offers multiple tools for your management needs - from changing settings on the local network and TR-143 diagnostics to complex mass-scale operations and configuration file management.

  • Cloud native
    The solution is designed and built on Cloud principles. This is the first ACS server / USP Controller as a function. You can run several instances for your projects / customers.

  • QoS / QoE

    Service Quality Monitoring (SQM) allows you to directly collect different KPIs from your CPEs, demonstrate the trends and track the behavior of services.

  • Adjustable plans

    Our subscription plans are highly flexible. This allows you to pay only for the tasks and work volume that you need.

IoT – Unfulfilled Expectations and Reality

The predictions about IoT market made during its peak of inflated expectations phase about 10 years ago were quite optimistic and forecasted 50 billion devices in 2020 and total worldwide market revenues of around 1,8 trillion USD. However, based on predictions from 2020 and 2021, the current IoT landscape in 2023 connects around 15 billion devices, while the worldwide market revenues are around 290 billion USD. In this blog, we try to ascertain why these expectations remained unfulfilled and what are the current prospects for IoT.

Visiting South Africa: Recap on AfricaCom 2023

Last week we had the first time opportunity to showcase our products at a booth at the AfricaCom exhibition in Cape Town. With nearly 15 years of business expertise in the African region and esteemed clients such as Vodacom, BTC and MTN, we looked forward with anticipation to uncover the possibilities of this fair. Find out in this blog post, what we have discovered!

USP Interoperability Benchmarking Explained

Providing customers, the ability to use and integrate any device which supports one or more of the many standardised device management and monitoring protocols is in Axiros’ DNA. The most utilised standard by our customers is still TR-069, but with the introduction of its successor USP, we’re seeing a major shift in aspects of the lower layers of communication in comparison to TR-069. The analysis of the actual device capabilities and the representation in the data they provide, is a process we call Interoperability Benchmarking. To learn more, check out our blog post.
