Quintum Technologies says it has completed beta testing of two new
rapid deployment technologies that will allow service providersto
deploy Tenors and remotely configure them avoiding costly on-site
visits.
Available from October this year, the new features will mean rapid deployment of new customer services and greatly reduced
installation costs. And, with Quintum's external Remote
Management Session Server, even Tenors deployed behind enterprise NAT
firewalls can be easily evaluated, upgraded and configured.
An auto-discovery interface allows service remotely identifies all
Tenors being deployed on customer premises by their IP Address, serial
number, software version, and description. This information is
transmitted to the Configuration Manager GUI to allow configuration of
individual Tenors.
A software interface that enables auto-provisioning in conjunction
with the service provider's existing back-office systems is used to to
send a signal from the new Tenor to the service provider's network
where the service provider's existing back-office OAM&P (Operation,
Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning) system can download of
the relevant configuration file for that specific Tenor.
The central system will then download the specific configuration
file to bring up that particular remote Tenor and connect it to the
VoIP service. All provisioning interactions are carried out using
standard secure signaling protocols with individual unit authentication
to insure maximum system integrity. In addition to providing this rapid
auto-provisioning service, this mechanism can also be used for
automatic software upgrades and other system maintenance tasks.
"As VoIP is being adopted by mainstream business customers, service
providers must be able to respond quickly to customer needs and
minimize the cost of CPE deployment," said Chuck Rutledge, Vice
President of Marketing at Quintum Technologies. "The Auto-discovery and
Auto-provisioning features in the Tenor product line will support next
generation service providers' ability to efficiently grow and support
their customer base."
