MetroE

Solutions for MetroE Service Providers

Service and Network Access providers operate in a highly competitive and challenging market. Customers demand for bandwidth is constantly growing, and market reports indicate that service providers may need to invest as much as $42 to $55 billion over the next three to five years to meet demand and maintain service. At the same time, service prices are reduced due to competition as well as supply and demand elasticity.

In order to balance the demand for higher bandwidth at lower prices and the need to better utilize network assets properly, Network and Internet Service Providers must find ways to increase their ARPU via advanced, personalized services and decrease their operational expenses at the same time.  

MetroE offers the technology to address the market needs and ofer ARPU-increasing personalized services, at lower costs.

neXus by ComAbility offers Network and Internet Service Providers a Subscriber and Services Operations Platform designed to meet the requirements of MetroE networks.

neXus MetroE solutions cater to the following:

Subscriber Management and Provisioning
neXus’ Subscriber Management and Provisioning provides a single interface for subscriber management, service subscription and troubleshooting. MetroE providers can control all network aspects of a subscriber with a single interface enabling provisioning and control of subscriber’s connectivity, associated L4-L7 services and advanced business rules.

With neXus Subscriber Management and Provisioning, MetroE providers have one single interface for debugging and troubleshooting any subscriber-related activities.

neXus Subscriber Management and  Provisioning reduces time-to-market for service association and activation, enhances subscriber experience due to reduced time-to-resolution and dramatically reduces the number of issues.
