ACS Server To Manage TR-069 and TR-369/USP Devices

July 27, 2023 - MUNICH, GERMANY - Telecommunications software leader Axiros is pleased to announce its newest release - AXESS 5 - a cutting-edge software platform designed to revolutionize network management for businesses of all sizes. With a host of powerful features and enhanced capabilities, AXESS 5 sets a new standard in simplifying and optimizing network operations.

The Axiros AXESS ACS (Auto Configuration Server) is an industry flagship software application used around the world by premier telecommunications and broadband service providers. It allows state-of-the-art management of customer premise equipment (CPE) with Broadband Forum-compliant CWMP (TR-069), User Service Platform (USP) (TR-369), and other open management protocols. AXESS enables highly flexible and scalable interactions with a large number of devices, like configuration and reconfiguration, mass operations including firmware downloads, fault clearance, and general real-time subscriber support.

AXESS 5 introduces several ground-breaking features that elevate network management to new heights. The key highlights include:

• Support for Kubernetes deployments

• Auto-onboarding for all devices

• Service provisioning: USP integration for a smooth transition from TR-069 and support for dual stack agents

• Debian 12 (LTS 2028) / Python 3.11

"By supporting Kubernetes (also known as k8s) deployments, Axiros demonstrates its commitment to industry standards. Utilizing Kubernetes simplifies the scalability of application components through a single command or automated process. These components are then readily available for service, without the need for manual configuration, thanks to Kubernetes' Service Discovery/Load Balancing mechanism. The self-healing capabilities of Kubernetes, such as container auto-restarts, pod rescheduling, and advertising availability based on health checks, ensure continuous availability of applications for clients”., said Carlos Abrantes, Software Engineer at Axiros.

AXESS 5 can be deployed on various Kubernetes-based platforms on-premises or in the cloud, including Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Microsoft AKS, and RedHat OpenShift. This offers great flexibility for our customers covering requirements such as auto-scaling, high availability, and geo-redundancy. CI/CD pipelines covering DevOps best practices allow fast and secure rollouts (and rollbacks) through all environments (lab, staging, testing, production).

The auto-onboarding feature is interesting because AXESS 5 ships with a new device library that automatically integrates unknown device models to support various use cases out of the box (KPI Monitoring, Customer Support Portal, and soon service provisioning for TR-069 and USP devices). The auto-onboarding feature significantly reduces integration effort and time-to-market.

All third-party components have been updated to the latest releases - this ensures security updates for the next five years.

“The new auto-onboarding feature for all devices provides our customers with out-of-the-box use cases for KPI monitoring, customer care, and service delivery, while AXESS retains the unmatched flexibility to implement any use case for any device.”, said Michael Meister, Product Manager AXESS at Axiros.
