TR-069 ACS

Broadband Service Providers face challenges from many directions. Subscriber activation costs are high; support costs are out of line with revenues; and revenues are low and declining. The Dimark Management Server (DMS) directly addresses these pain-points by enabling the automatic activation of, and remote management of broadband, VoIP, IPTV, network storage and LAN devices.

DMS is a TR-069 Amendment 2 standards-based solution designed to centralize the management, control, monitoring, and delivery of broadband services to CPE. By supporting CPE devices that support the TR-069 network management standards, DMS simplifies device configuration, remote management, and service activation.

DMS enables service providers to offer value-added services such as home networking, security, Voice over IP, as well as speed-based service levels. These can now be deployed at the CPE and centrally managed via the DMS, helping broadband service providers to increase their Average Revenue Per User (ARPU).

Scalable Architecture
Built on an industry proven Application Server architecture, DMS is scalable, allowing it to support a virtually unlimited number of CPE devices. As it’s based on widely deployed application server and database technologies, the same load balancing, clustering and failure recovery techniques used to provide massive scalability, and improved reliability and availability for large-scale web sites and enterprise applications are applicable to accommodate a growing customer base.

DMS is based on J2EE is available for Weblogic and JBoss application server, with, Oracle and MySQL databases running on Linux, Unix, Solaris (SPARC and x86), and Windows operating systems. 

Open Architecture Reduces Time to Market
DMS can either be implemented as middleware to be interoperable with existing OSS, Help Desk and NOC systems through XML, SOAP or JBeans communications hooks, or deployed as a standalone server that leverages DMS’s GUI SDK to quickly create a customized web based interface. In either case, the DMS can be quickly up and running, minimizing time to market.

Best of Class Functionality
When Dimark speaks of TR-069, we mean all related specifications and standards, currently encompassing TR-069, TR-098, TR-104, TR-106,, TR-110, TR-111,TR-131, TR-135 TR-140, TR-124, TR-196 and others.  No other company offers this complete coverage.

The key functions offered by these protocols is as follows:

• TR-069 provides the extensible, secure, communications layer, while also providing basic gateway router and Wi-Fi configuration and management  functionality.
• TR-098 provides QoS functionality as well configuration profiles to ease management and deployment.
• TR-104 and TR-110 combine to provide remote VoIP device configuration and management.
• TR-106 and TR-111 combine to allow the remote management of devices on a LAN, even those using the private IP space behind a NAT gateway.
• TR-131 standardizes the Northbound Interface.
• TR-135 provides for the configuration and management of Set Top Boxes (STB).  Note, unless the STB is an edge device, TR-106 and TR-111 support will also be required.
• TR-140 provides for the configuration and management of Network Attached Storage (NAS). 
• TR-142 provides for the configuration and management of PON devices.
• TR-196 provides support for Femtocell (cellular repeater) devices.
• Other third party specifications, such as WiMax Forum Specification for TR-069 devices.
