The companies' partnership focuses on how operators and CSPs can introduce these services quickly and at scale, by transforming an already-essential piece of network equipment: the access router. The combination of Axiros' automatic configuration server (ACS) and the OneAccess portfolio of routers enables operators to bring to market revenue generating managed services quickly through zero-touch provisioning.
"Operators are under extreme pressure to deliver new services, reduce TCO and defend their ground against a growing number of more agile service providers, integrators and over-the-top players," says Bertrand Meis, CEO, OneAccess. "OneAccess is focused on partnering with operators to deploy a centrally managed service delivery platform that can redress this balance, arming them with the agility to introduce new revenue-generating services quickly and according to customer demands. Axiros has helped us build this platform into our purpose-designed router, so operators can avoid the prohibitive disruption caused by new and unfamiliar equipment and deploy in line with their existing access equipment upgrade paths."
Kurt Peterhans, CEO of Axiros adds: "OneAccess' commitment to supporting the largest number of access technologies in the market is a perfect match for Axiros' software, which we have developed to connect any device to any network at any time. Our partnership boosts interoperability and enables the rapid provisioning of a broader range of business services using Axiros' AXESS.ACS for TR-069 provisioning and our WAN management software AXPAND. We look forward to working together to bring to better management to business voice gateways."
Axiros supports all network protocols, enabling OneAccess' customer-premises routers to seamlessly interoperate with the customer's existing legacy infrastructures. OneAccess' purpose-designed routers support the widest number of connectivity combinations currently available in the market. The latest advancements in the partnership with Axiros will now also see LTE-access services rolled into its portfolio of service capabilities.
About OneAccess Routers:
By deploying OneAccess’ service delivery platform, CSPs and operators can ‘mass-customize’ their network access capabilities, installing the same access routers with all customers and provisioning different suites of services according to their varying demands. This means they can centralize IT control, minimize the need for costly site visits and implement remote service updates across multiple customers simultaneously.
When deployed in the branch offices or headquarters of a distributed enterprise, OneAccess’ customer premises-based routers provide operators and CSPs with a platform over which a wide range of market differentiating network and application management services can be delivered. As businesses, operators and CSPs continue to migrate to an all-IP environment the innovative use of the network infrastructure is increasingly becoming a source of competitive advantage. If operators can heighten the versatility, performance and security of their customers’ networks via managed services which, for example, enhance network management, increase critical application performance, or support a step by step migration to a fully virtualized SDN/NFV environment, they can generate new revenues and strengthen their position in a market that is becoming increasingly crowded with agile new players.
