The benefits of Cisco Broadband Access Center include:

• Flexibility in creating new service offerings lets you customize services for different customers
• Automatic provisioning of subscriber customer premises equipment (CPE) makes devices easy to install increasing customer satisfaction
• Automatic IP address reduces operational cost
• Application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow you to integrate Cisco Broadband Access Center with legacy operations support systems (OSSs) for flow-through provisioning, billing, and fault management

  The Cisco Convergent Network Subscriber Provisioning (CNSP) domain manager addresses the provisioning challenges that service providers such as your company may face in deploying broadband voice and data services. Your network administrators are likely telling you that manual provisioning processes are too tedious, labor intensive, and prone to errors to support mass-market deployment of broadband services. Complex manual procedures simply prolong the time it takes to activate services and start collecting the additional revenue they may generate.

  Manually provisioning a subscriber edge for multiple services in networks that support voice and data traffic is a particularly difficult process because of the myriad of devices (CPE access devices and aggregation routers, for example) and network resources (such as IP address management) involved. In addition, network administrators need to follow a sequence of operations and configurations-and it is difficult to synchronize the tasks without network management tools. The Cisco Broadband Access Center CNSP provides an Internet OSS interface for flow-through service provisioning, an easy-to-use GUI for standalone operation, an intelligent voice-and-data service-management engine, and a distributed transport gateway server to help solve these challenges. It will help your network operators prepare for immediate deployment of broadband services on a large scale.
