ProCloud Subscriber Suite dramatically improves subscribers’ quality
of experience and eliminates operators’ growth-limiting capital
constraints
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 12, 2016--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced its ProCloud Subscriber Suite of
tools that streamline the creation, delivery and management of broadband
services for operators. The ProCloud Subscriber Suite features multiple
tools providing a comprehensive offering for operators, including
automated subscriber activation, subscriber analytics and a subscriber
portal for more granular in-home network visibility. The suite reduces
time, calls and truck rolls for operators, provides tools to understand
subscriber performance that enable increased monthly revenue
opportunities and visibility to in-home devices for both operators and
subscribers. ADTRAN’s ProCloud Subscriber Suite also delivers
industry-leading financial benefits coupled with orchestration
technologies to create a viable option for operators that want to
rapidly scale FTTH and triple play deployments, but have resource and
financial challenges.
ProCloud Subscriber Activation, the first tool in the suite,
significantly reduces operators’ expenses when activating subscriber
services while enhancing the subscribers’ quality of experience by
streamlining the provisioning process. ProCloud Subscriber Activation
also includes the industry’s first Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH)
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering, enabling operators to
eliminate the traditional upfront capital expense of the ONT and
residential gateway. The combination of these two components offers
dramatic operational and balance sheet flexibility for operators.
Service providers face big challenges when scaling residential triple
play services due to the time and resources associated with
pre-provisioning and deploying new equipment. With FTTH deployments
spanning thousands of homes, eliminating the manual pre-configuration
and provisioning model improves service delivery speed and overall
profit margins by removing human error, providing troubleshooting
visibility and automatically setting the service definitions based on
the system order. Based on open APIs and ADTRAN’s SDN-based Mosaic
Cloud architecture to streamline service automation, ADTRAN’s
ProCloud Subscriber Activation orchestration software automates the
subscriber activation process by discovering subscriber equipment and
provisioning it on the fly while ensuring 100% accuracy between billing
and provisioning systems.
In addition to the inherent operational expense reduction that ProCloud
Subscriber Activation’s automation affords, it also provides balance
sheet benefits for operators. For the first time, the IaaS component
provides a mechanism for operators to pay for the subscriber equipment
over time, matching monthly revenue and cost by eliminating upfront
capital expenses. In addition to the subscriber equipment, the IaaS
offering includes an extended warranty and equipment sparing, enabling
operators to provide rapid average time to repair.
“ADTRAN’s ProCloud Subscriber Activation delivers an unmatched solution
that improves a subscriber’s initial engagement with an operator by
streamlining broadband service activation, resulting in a high quality
of experience,” said Todd Lattanzi, director, cloud services portfolio,
ADTRAN. “Combined with automation, the IaaS component changes the
financial landscape for operators, improving cash flow by eliminating
the upfront capital expense for subscriber equipment. The combination
delivers benefits for both operators and subscribers with a service
activation experience second to none.”
