Smart Internet of Things (IoT) Automation

Intelligent Control for M2M and IoT Services

That’s the battle cry of the movement called the Internet of Things (IoT), or according to some, the Internet of Everything (IoE). It’s time to become accustomed to this idea, but progress is being made in achieving the ultimate goal—a network that connects practically all physical devices. Some call the IoT movement the fourth generation of the Internet.

IoT represents the fourth generation, dubbed by many as the “networking of everything else.” It’s now technically and economically possible to put virtually everything on the Internet, setting up what looks to be a very interesting future with all of the potential benefits, downsides, and unintended consequences.

But the challenge for the service provider is "control". How to support and manage a virtually unlimited number of applications on any possible type of data link in a way that is sustainable from the service provider perspective ? How to isolate platform services and make an economy of scale possible.

Axiros enables the fourth generation of Internet and delivers in the hands of the service providers the most powerful tool for:

  • Service Creation

  • Service Delivery

  • Service Moinitoring and Control

Applications

Analytics

Monitor - Analyze - Predict - Enhance the Quality of Customer Experience

AXTRACT enables the transformation of every device (Modems, VoIP phones, Set-Top Boxes) into sophisticated probes to measure service quality. Additionally, AXTRACT can significantly help the Customer Reps and the Technical Support in the troubleshooting process by supplying a historical view on service usage correlated with the technical parameters.
The analysis is enabled on arbitrary groups or down to a single device, including changes of service related parameters. All data are made available in near real time to ensure that all relevant events generated in the network are promptly collected and made available to the Network and Service operations team to ensure the fastest resolution time.
Timeliness is a key value; at the same time, the AXTRACT engine enables Big Data analytics on a large set of key indicators that help service providers identify bottlenecks in their delivery processes. AXTRACT is answering KPI related investigations like:

  • Which gateways in the field deliver the best/worst WAN quality

  • Is packet loss on the uplink the major cause for streaming errors on the set top box

  • How different STB / VoIP phones vendors handle packet loss and are resilient to network errors

In short, AXTRACT is the key enabler for any proactive assurance process in the OSS.
