Comtrend has partnered with Fine Point Technologies to create a new, best-in-class Auto Configuration Server (ACS) Solution.
Comtrend’s gateways, paired with Fine Point’s ACS will now provide Service Providers with new tools to resolve technical issues, strategically analyze network traffic, and identify opportunities to provideadditional revenue-generating service.
Over the last ten years, TR-069 has laid the groundwork of remote management of Customer Premises Equipment. This solution not only includes all standard functionality, but goes further to add new benefits:
- Creates visibility into the home network
- Provides analytical data

- Enables “Virtual Truck Rolls
Therefore, the question is…
