ActionStreamer™
Cloud-Native Service Activation Across Multi-Vendor Fixed and Mobile Networks
Overview
ActionStreamer™ is INTRACOM TELECOM's field-proven, convergent service activation and network middleware platform for fixed and mobile Communications Service Providers. It enables rapid and reliable service provisioning across complex, multi-vendor and multi-technology environments, supporting Data, Voice, TV, broadband, IMS, mobile, OTT, CPE management and other service-enabling platforms.
The platform orchestrates interactions between upstream OSS/BSS systems and downstream network elements through standards-based TM Forum APIs or customized interfaces, with support for synchronous, asynchronous, real-time and bulk activation scenarios. Its modular service and adapter framework allows activation logic and network integrations to be tailored efficiently to each operator's requirements.
Built on Kubernetes and a microservices-based architecture, ActionStreamer™ provides scalability, resilience, elasticity, observability and faster delivery of new services. It can be deployed on premises, on virtualized infrastructure or across private, public and hybrid cloud environments.
Beyond service activation, ActionStreamer™ can also support network testing, statistics collection and troubleshooting. The platform is delivered as a complete solution, backed by analysis, design, customization, integration, testing, deployment and lifecycle support services.
Highlights
ActionStreamer™ combines cloud-native architecture, flexible integration and field-proven telecom expertise to support demanding service activation and network middleware environments:
- Cloud-Native Microservices Architecture: Built on Kubernetes for scalable, resilient and modular operation across fixed, mobile and converged services.
- Dynamic Scalability and Elasticity: Individual services can scale independently according to workload, enabling efficient resource utilization and consistent performance.
- Flexible OSS/BSS and Network Integration: Supports standards-based TM Forum interfaces, custom REST or SOAP APIs, synchronous and asynchronous communication and a broad range of network protocols.
- Faster Service Introduction: A modular service and adapter framework, combined with DevOps practices, accelerates the development, testing, deployment and evolution of new services.
- Individual and Bulk Provisioning: Supports real-time activation as well as batch-based activation, modification and deactivation of large service volumes.
- Multi-Vendor, Multi-Technology Support: Enables service activation across heterogeneous fixed and mobile networks, service-enabling platforms and network elements.
- Comprehensive Operational Visibility: Provides monitoring, auditing, statistics and configurable operational controls for improved insight into service activation processes.
- Extensible Technology Ecosystem: Allows additional open-source and cloud-native tools to be integrated into the Kubernetes environment as requirements evolve.
- Flexible and Cloud-Agnostic Deployment: Supports deployment on bare metal, virtual machines and private, public or hybrid cloud environments.
Applications
ActionStreamer&trader; supports service activation and provisioning across a broad range of fixed, mobile and converged telecom environments.
Service Activation Domains
- Fixed Broadband Services: Activation of xDSL, FTTC and FTTH services across multi-vendor access networks.
- Mobile Services: Provisioning of prepaid and postpaid mobile services across LTE, 4G and 5G environments.
- Voice and IMS Services: Activation and management of voice services through IMS and related service platforms.
- TV, OTT and Digital Services: Integration with IPTV, OTT, Value-Added Services and other digital service platforms.
- Service-Enabling Platforms: Connectivity with CPE managers, AAA systems, LDAP directories, policy platforms and other network or service-enabling systems.
- Bulk Service Operations: Large-scale activation, modification and deactivation of services through batch-based provisioning processes.
Beyond Service Activation
ActionStreamer™ can also operate as a network middleware platform supporting:
- Network Testing: Execution of tests such as SELT, DELT, MELT and line diagnostics.
- Statistics Collection: Collection of broadband, voice, IPTV and network usage statistics.
- Troubleshooting: Execution of operational actions such as CPE reboot, port block or unblock, service status queries and other network support operations.
- Network Data Mediation: Collection, transformation and exchange of information between OSS/BSS systems, network elements and service platforms.
