Every Bit IP ™ Zero Touch Provisioning 1

Agenda n Overview of Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) n ZTP in PANS n Issues with ZTP in BAN n Possible ZTP solutions for BAN n Deployment Example

What is Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) Theory n Automated subscriber and service provisioning system (SSPS) n Subscribers and services are created with the bare minimum human intervention Practice n Largely automated SSPS with human intervention required n Full automation is can be - Uneconomical - Insecure

ZTP in Dial-Up over Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) n ZTP for Dial-Up access has existed for a number of years - Pre-paid - Subscription n It is rather easy to implement as there is no requirement to configure NEs Credit Check Subscription Web RADIUS Billing System

Issues with ZTP on DSL (PANS) n Subscriber line patching and qualification between MDF and DSLAM is largely a manual process n DSLAM and ATM (if present) may need to be provisioned for each subscriber n Subscriber self installation not always successful - Truck rolls are a necessity for installations where • New copper runs are required • POTS splitter installation • CPE installation failure

Opportunities in BAN n Ability to provide more than 1 service n Opportunity to up sell additional services - Broader revenue streams n Examples: - 128 / 256 / 512 / 1024 kbps Internet services Multimedia on Demand Application on Demand Vo. IP, Video conferencing Captive Portal n Flexible and open service activation interface

Opportunities in BAN (2) Multi Service offering Over Broadband Access Networks Lease Lines Dial Up

Service Activation Interfaces n 1 st Generation - Single service - Activated during subscription n 2 nd Generation - Multiple services but only 1 available at any one time (OR model) - Activated during log on n 3 rd Generation - Multiple services, any available at any time (AND / OR model) - Activated any time

Summary n ZTP allow operators to reduce manpower cost in customer acquisitions n ZTP allow operators to easily roll out multiple services over a single Broadband Access Network n 3 rd Generation Subscriber Service Activation Interface allows zero touch provisioning and activation n Advantage for operator: - More services - broader revenue base - ZTP – faster service rollout and customer commissioning n Advantage for subscribers: - Choice of services and when they want it
