ONT Easy Start
Connect FTTH users faster and at lower cost
Automation enables simple and cost-effective PON service activation
ONT Easy Start speeds up and simplifies optical network termination (ONT) provisioning. It transforms today’s complex, multi-step ONT activations into an automated process. It provides an easy self-provisioning process that can be used by customers and field technicians to speed up and simplify ONT provisioning. You can increase customer satisfaction while simultaneously cutting ONT activation costs.
Accelerate time to market
Automated ONT activation accelerates the introduction of broadband services up to 25% or speeds up ONT and Residential Gateway(RGW) swap programs.
Reduce operating cost
Customer self-installation allows service providers to reduce ONT activation costs up to 50%. In cases where a technician needs to come onsite, costs are saved by reducing onsite time and preventing configuration errors.
Improve customer experience
Automation reduces errors and increases first-time-right ONT and RGW installations and activations up to 99%. User self-install enables end users to self-install their services at their own convenience.
Simplify activation processes
ONT Easy Start is a vendor-agnostic solution. Service providers can use it to establish one process for the entire PON broadband access installed base.
Automated ONT activation in 3 steps
With ONT Easy Start, you can give your subscribers the high-bandwidth offerings they want sooner — with less hassle. As soon as the ONT is onsite, subscribers or field technicians follow three simple steps to provision broadband services:
- Connect to the activation web portal via QR code scan or a captive web portal
- Enter assigned user-name and password.
- Click once for activation.
Required activation steps and fiber connectivity tests to get fiber customers online are then automatically executed in no time.
Choose your preferred ONT activation method
ONT Easy Start provides different activation methods that suit different needs.
Local connection
A PC connected to the ONT, auto-directed to a captive portal to input the user credentials and auto-activate the ONT
QR/barcode scan
Scan a QR or barcode to open a web portal and fill in user credentials to auto-activate the ONT
Pre-scan
Pre-scan and assign the ONT in a warehouse. Ship the ONT to the designated end user. End user only needs to plug-in the ONT for auto-activation.
