Support Plug-and-Play with On-Boot Firmware Updates

This is something you want to avoid regardless of whether it is a new customer’s first impression or an existing customer whose loyalty is important to you.

How can you prevent this situation from occurring?

Ensure seamless device startup with a firmware management solution that includes automated on-boot firmware updates. By configuring on-boot firmware campaigns, you can ensure any devices appearing on your network that match the vendor, model, and firmware version within your campaign will be automatically updated to the correct firmware version, before the device is fully provisioned.

This procedure ensures that seamless plug-and-play devices live up to their name. As an added bonus, you save OPEX by reducing manual processes while reducing the risk of subscriber churn due to a negative experience.

Accelerate Device Roll-Out with Mass-Device On-Boot Updates

Another common scenario that service providers deal with is mass-device updates for outdated firmware. When a fleet of devices on an outdated or unsupported firmware version arrive to the operator’s premises, the service provider is often forced to update the firmware versions on every device — a costly and tedious manual process — before they can deploy the devices to the customer premises.

With automatic on-boot updates, operators can avoid spending these unnecessary resources on device realization and firmware updates in-house, and instead deploy those devices and have the firmware versions automatically updated once a connection is made from the subscriber premises.
