Axiros and FirstDMT Bring Carrier-Grade Device Management to Africa with FDMT.Cloud
July 31, 2025 - MUNICH, GERMANY / CENTURION, SOUTH AFRICA – Africa’s internet service provider (ISP) market is evolving rapidly, driven by increasing demand for affordable, high-speed connectivity across urban and rural regions. However, many ISPs still face challenges such as limited infrastructure, high operating costs, and a lack of scalable management tools for customer device management. These barriers make it difficult to deliver consistent service quality at scale.
To address these needs, Axiros, a global leader in device and service management solutions, and South African cloud technology provider FirstDMT have joined forces to deliver a powerful offering to the African telecommunications market: FDMT.Cloud – a cloud-native, standards-based platform for remote device management.
FDMT.Cloud is built on the foundation of Axiros’ globally acclaimed AXESS ACS platform, bringing Tier 1 telco-grade functionality to ISPs, WISPs, MSPs, and system integrators throughout Africa. The vendor-agnostic platform enables service providers to manage customer premises equipment (CPE) securely, efficiently, and without local infrastructure or custom software development.
“This solution reflects the best of both worlds: Axiros’ robust technology and FirstDMT’s regional expertise,” said Monika Poldrugac, Director Solution Sales at Axiros. “FDMT.Cloud makes our proven AXESS ACS platform instantly accessible to providers across Africa – providing full support for industry standards and more.”
