Case Studies

DOCSIS Provisioning and Digital Experience
Firmware Management
DOCSIS Provisioning and Network Insights

Part of a European operator group, this service provider acquired a cable operator and faced a time-to-market crunch to launch new triple-play service bundles. Maintaining excellent customer experience was vital to business expansion and their brand. Operational needs included rapid customer device provisioning, automated ongoing management of all devices, and accelerated customer care.

Using Incognito DOCSIS provisioning coupled with Digital Experience Solution including Incognito's TR-069 Auto Configuration Server, this service provider was able to launch new multi-play services in months, automate customer care processes with a standard tool to identify and resolve customer issues and prioritize customers based on service tier. Additionally, they could remotely manage all customer devices, including legacy non-TR-069 devices, and gain visibility and diagnostics across multiple vendor devices.

Teamwork Cable MSO

A North American service provider required a firmware management solution to address issues associated with outdated firmware. Incognito provided an automated firmware management solution with role-based controls for improved security, highly flexible firmware update triggers, and a holistic network-wide view of device firmware status.

With Incognito, this service provider reduced operational costs and improved controls to ensure updated firmware across the network.

Wireless router

This American cable MSO implemented Incognito's Monetization and Analytics Platform to analyze IPDR billing data and determine appropriate data caps for their subscribers, paving the way for a national metering launch.

Additionally, this cable MSO was burdened with manual DOCSIS legacy network process inefficiencies. The operational system support also inhibited IPv6 service introduction, exposing MSO to competitive threats.

Incognito's cable solution simplified the MSO's network-wide rollout using a single integrated platform for DOCSIS and GPON fiber networks, usage-based metering, and automated provisioning for all cable/fiber residential and business IPv4 and IPv6 services. Incognito's standard-compliant DPoG deployment supports ~25 million IPs/devices.
