Accedian Networks empowers MSOs to to confidently maximize ARPU with SLA-backed, premium business services
MONTREAL, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - Accedian Networks, Inc. announced today that its virtualized customer premises equipment (vCPE) solution for business services over DOCSIS (BSoD) solution won Cablefax's Tech Award in the Commercial Product category. Cablefax Tech Awards honor elite professional and organizations from the world of cable, online video and technology who took chances, made incredible strides, and understand the power of innovation.
To differentiate their business services with assured Quality of Service (QoS), MSOs must be able to commit to and deliver guaranteed uptime, bandwidth availability, and rapid meant-time-to-repair (MTTR) should issues arise. Adequate performance monitoring capabilities are required, but are not available in cable modems. Accedian's vCPE solution for business services over DOCSIS makes it possible to fulfill sophisticated SLAs demanded by time-sensitive business segments like financial services, healthcare, and legal.
Accedian's ant vCPE Module uses network function virtualization (NFV) powered by the SkyLIGHT™ VCX Controller to realize a full performance assurance feature set in a low cost, ultra-compact, power-efficient footprint. The solution was developed specifically for the BSoD market, with leading multiple system operators (MSOs) contributing to feature set definition, providing test lab and live trial access to ensure these units integrate seamlessly and scale into existing Cable operations.
Installed behind a cable modem, the ant Module adds end-to-end OAM visibility, hardware-based demarcation, performance monitoring, and remote troubleshooting and turn-up functionality, bandwidth utilization metering and Service Level Agreement (SLA) reporting capabilities. This complete suite of virtualized instrumentation simplifies and assures the full BSoD service delivery lifecycle. The modules auto-provision and transparently integrate into existing management and inventory tools.
"We are honored to receive a Cablefax Tech Award, recognizing the effort and innovation put into a solution designed for and with our MSO customers," said Patrick Ostiguy, President & CEO of Accedian Networks. "Our ant Module vCPE empowers MSOs to compete head on in the commercial connectivity market with performance assured services that command premium pricing. With thousands of units already slated for deployment over the coming months, our customers tell us that the ability to monitor utilization, perform remote turn-up testing, and monitor multiple classes of service will allow them to confidently upsell additional bandwidth and managed services to maximize Average Revenue per User (ARPU) over time."
