1. 1 Every Bit IP ™ Zero Touch Provisioning

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

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

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

5. Issues with ZTP on DSL (PANS) Subscriber line patching and qualification between MDF and DSLAM is largely a manual process DSLAM and ATM (if present) may need to be provisioned for each subscriber 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

6. Implementing ZTP on BAN RADIUS IP Edge ATM TDM IP Core Service Activation Server ATM TDM Subscription OSS L2 NMS 1.Receive subscription 2.Enable layer 1/2 access 3.Enable layer 3 service 4.Gather accounting data 5.Monitor and bill service L1 NMS

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

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

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

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