Go to the Broadband Forum website and look at the Board of Directors. I know half those people from my participation in the first ADSL standard 20 years ago. They are all “big telco” people. TR-069 is what you’d expect from them.
Their world is evolving also, with stuff like small cells, so TR-069 may be overkill even for them going forward. On the other hand, once it is built into the operations systems, and network element vendors have the software developed, the big telcos may not view it as overkill. Not sure if the focus is still on managing CPE, with customers more and more buying things like smartphones outright and controlling the firmware and configuration themselves. Do you think of your phone as controlled by AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile/Sprint? Or is it a piece of hardware you own and run either iOS or Android on? Europe and Asia tended more toward the customer owned and managed model, but it seems the US is becoming more like Europe, where you buy the phone and then get a SIM card from the carrier. Maybe even multiple SIM cards.

Yes my understanding is that Telrad is going to eventually abandon the "Star ACS" system they inherited from Alvaion and put at least some TR-69 functions into Breezeview. I have heard as stated goals that Breezeview will collect performance data from the CPE and perform bulk firmware updates. If that's all they ever put into Breezeview, that might be enough. Eventually I'll probably want to do something to every CPE. I don't know specifically what it will be....maybe I'll want to add a firewall rule to everybody or lock out another operator's PLMN ID. When that day comes it's either a long, tedious labor investment or have TR-69. I don't understand the resistance to SNMP in the LTE world.

TR069 is, unfortunately, not a simple plug and play solution. Any third party system you get is going to require some configuration and fiddling to get working. I know a few people using http://www.friendly-tech.com/products/tr-069-device-management but I don't know how much it costs. Since some WISPs are using it, I'm guessing it's less than the cost of a car, but I could be wrong.. I think Telrad has something coming out too, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Commercial TR69 servers appear to all be big $$. I'm wondering if there's something basic that costs less than a used car :) We paid $6k for a TR69 ACS and it's junk. The front end is a JBoss web page, and it's fussy about which JRE and browser you use with it. An unexpected reset broke something in the backend database, and the vendor had to get in and fix it.....and apparently we're not allowed to know what the fix is, so if it ever happens again the system will just be down until they can look at it. I would love suggestions for an ACS that is reliable and not a 5 figure purchase. -Adam ------ Original Message ------ From: "Faisal Imtiaz" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 2/1/2017 8:57:26 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] SNMP Monitoring Programs Take a look at OMD Check_mk....
