TR-069: Auto-Configuration Server Solution by Fine Point FinePoint

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
  • Provides data for focused sales/marketing
  • Enables “Virtual Truck Rolls
 

Therefore, the question is…

“How, exactly, is it better?”

Here are four abilities that will change how you do business:

“I’m paying for 10Mbps, but my Intenet is SLOW.”

Solution: simply confirm the actual speed to the gateway

Both adhere to standards-based TR-069 parameters and cover the standard features. The partnership with Finepoint is significant, as it provides software enhancements in Comtrend’s new gateways to enable the features shown here.
