In the telecom industry, maintaining operational efficiency, scalability, and security is becoming increasingly complex, particularly when it involves managing extensive device fleets and/or legacy Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). At Axiros, we understand these challenges and have designed Axiros Managed Services to provide a comprehensive solution for telecom operators looking to simplify their device management operations. Read the full blog post to learn how we deliver Managed Services at Axiros.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, advanced solutions bring significant improvements to telco operations and efficiencies. Yet, these advancements also present challenges that can be daunting without the right support. From ensuring high availability with cloud services to battling cybersecurity threats and maintaining regulatory compliance with GDPR and INS2, telcos face a complex array of challenges. This is where Managed Services can be your guiding star.

In this blog we present a smart office environment with ZigBee sensors for monitoring the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, pressure), and occupancy of shared spaces. Additionally, there are water leak sensors deployed to monitor the areas prone to flooding. AXESS, AXTRACT, and AXACT are used for configuration and management of the environment, and for monitoring both sensor availability data, and data about the monitored environment.

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.

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!

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.

In the previous part of our blog series, we discovered the importance of monitoring critical network KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that shape the Quality of Experience (QoE) for cable broadband users. In this part, we'll delve deeper into how the AXTRACT DOCSIS & PNM (Proactive Network Maintenance) bundles harness these KPIs to pinpoint critical locations and empower service providers to proactively tackle network challenges and consequently minimize customer churn before signal impairments cause critical service degradation and customer unsatisfaction.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital communication, guaranteeing a top-notch user experience is crucial for both service providers and end customers. As the appetite for faster and more reliable internet connection continues expanding, cable operators rely on the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) to deliver high-speed broadband services.

The MTA, or Multimedia Terminal Adapter, is a device that provides the telephony interface for the PacketCable network at the customer's premises. There are two types of MTA devices: embedded MTAs, which are part of the same hardware as the cable modem, and standalone MTAs, which are separate physical devices.

The second part of the IoT Standards & Protocols blog covers the application protocols which can be divided into general application protocols and specialized application protocols for covering specific use cases.

Internet of Things (IoT) has undergone a wide adoption in many domains over the past years. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing IoT solutions are physical devices, hardware, either sensors that sense the environment or actuators which change the environment, and applications (software) through which IoT devices can be sensed and controlled.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing technology that has the potential to revolutionise the way we live and work. However, behind the simple concept lies a complex system of hardware, software, communications, and platforms that work together to make IoT possible. In this article, we will dive into the science behind IoT and explain everything you need to know about how it works.

In the previous blog, our Daniel Egger outlined some of the key differences between the TR-069 and USP (née TR-369) protocols and why USP provides a solid improvement. But (as you may have noticed), he also left a few strategic spoilers about some unique features which make USP truly awesome; and that’s what we’re going to address today.

When companies improve their QoE, they increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, which may lead to improved business outcomes. Let’s try to explore the origins, why it should be considered, how TELCOs usually measure the QoE, what are the future trends, and how it can be implemented in the telecommunications industry.

All the lessons learned from wide-spread TR-069 use were considered and taken into account to design a much more modern, efficient, and secure protocol that can implement all of the TR-069 use cases but also some which couldn’t be implemented before.

Find out what the cable modem provisioning process includes!

DHCP provides IP addresses as well as other network and provisioning configuration parameters for CM, MTA, and CPE. These configuration parameters may include the default router, time server, DNS server, log server, hostname, domain name, TFTP server, configuration file name, lease time, ACS-URL, etc.

Both DOCSIS cable modems and PacketCable MTA adapters obtain their IP address and other configuration parameters via DHCP.

In an increasingly competitive world, Internet service providers (ISPs) are constantly working to find new and expand existing offerings to clients, trying to improve the quality of the services and, at the same time, increase their operating profit. High-speed data transmission, interactive gaming, video-on-demand, videoconferencing, or telephony are just a few examples of these value-added services.

The 802.11n standard provides for the use of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, on the basis of which can be implemented one of the following options:
