OS Provisioning is the core package for the entire Provisioning process in NMS PRIME. It will enable you to bring modems of all types and CPEs online. It is technology and vendor agnostic – enables access over all fixed and wireless access domains, like DOCSIS, FTTH, DSL, WiFi.
Pro hint: It is best used in combination with Prime Monitoring to analyse and monitor your devices in real-time.
