  • Reduce Support and Delivery Costs
  • Provide Better Customer Experience
  • Add New Service Revenues

This seminar on “Low-Cost Device Deployment and User Support” addresses the growing management requirement generated by increasingly intelligent interconnected devices, such as mobile handsets, set-top boxes, and home gateways, found in the broadband home.

With one trillion devices expected to be in existence in the next 15-20 years this is growing issue for service providers. In solving device-based management issues service providers will not only reduce support and delivery costs and provide better customer experience, but will also add new service revenues.
