FlexManage - State of the Art
GPON Network Management System
One of the main areas of concern for carriers and network operators is the process of provisioning and monitoring of services. The ability to support a simple, user friendly provisioning process, yet allow the full network abilities to be exploited, is one of the main advantages of FlexManage. FlexManage allows the carrier to smoothly provision services in a point and click manner, thus overcoming the complexity associated with access service provisioning today.
The enhanced Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) features allow the carrier to maximize its control of the network, increase service activation times and avoid downtime of customer services.
