As broadband access becomes a fundamental utility, internet service providers (ISPs) are under increasing pressure to deliver customer facing services faster and more efficiently than ever before. However, when sourcing access from multiple wholesale fiber providers, ISPs often hit the same bottleneck: inconsistent APIs, proprietary processes, and costly integration work.
Fortunately, that’s changing – thanks to industry-standard APIs and collaborative efforts like the TM Forum’s “Broadband as a Service – The Future of Wholesale Broadband Ordering” Catalyst projects.

Traditional device management solutions, such as TR-069, have played a significant role in enabling remote configuration, monitoring, and updates. However, as networks grow in complexity and scale, these legacy protocols face limitations in security, efficiency, and flexibility. In this blog, we explore the challenges of traditional device management, the evolution of new protocols, and the transformative role AI plays in optimizing device operations. Let’s dive into the future of intelligent device management.

In this blog, we explore signal quality and performance monitoring in FTTX networks, a critical aspect of ensuring reliable fiber-optic broadband. Key challenges include detecting issues like connection loss, fiber bends, and splicing problems. Axiros’ AXTRACT FTTX Bundle enables advanced monitoring through metrics like Receive/Transmit Power and the Network Health Index, which links ONT health to customer Quality of Experience (QoE). With comprehensive dashboards for ONTs, OLTs, and PON ports, this solution ensures effective management of FTTX networks.
