AXON Networks News

In Part 1 of our Digital Twin education series, we explored why Digital Twins are a critical tool for agile service providers, providing real-time visibility from the core to the connected home, predictive insights instead of reactive alerts, and integrated automation that allows the network to close the loop to detect, decide, and act on network challenges. How AXON Networks Supports This Evolution At AXON Networks, the Digital Twin isn’t just a concept, it’s a capability. It’s built into our Operator-as-a-Service (OaaS) platform and integrates across every product in our suite of solutions: ·       AXON Orchestrator – our unique software-based network orchestration platform creates a unified, real-time model of the network and serves as the command center for the network’s Digital Twin operations. ·       AXON Realtime – feeds the Digital Twin with continuous telemetry and behavioral analytics from every device and domain, giving the ISP a live,...

  The Broadband Networking Challenge: Invisible Complexity In this three-part blog series, we’ll explore why Digital Twins are critical for ISPs, how Digital Twin pioneers like AXON Networks are supporting this evolution, and the results that service providers have seen by implementing AXON Networks’ Digital Twin solutions to deliver smarter, self-optimizing networks.   Let’s start by looking at the case for Digital Twins… Large ISPs today manage multiple networks that can span thousands of miles and often millions of elements connecting everything from home gateways, end user devices, and access nodes to aggregation layers, network backhaul, the network core, and the cloud. Each of these layers generates massive amounts of data all day, every day. For ISPs looking to lead their markets with agility and efficiency, having access to network data is critical to effectively managing these networks. But if that data is fragmented, delayed, or siloed across tools and teams, an ISP ...

  As much as they rely on it for so many facets of their lives, consumers don’t want to think about their internet. Instead, they expect their internet access to be instant and reliable — a service  they can depend on without effort. In fact, broadband should feel as simple and dependable as flipping a light switch. When it works, customers hardly notice. They stream, game, learn, and work without thinking about the network powering it all. But one negative experience can damage customer loyalty and lead to them moving elsewhere. Ultimately, the more invisible technology becomes to customers the more they will appreciate its presence. Why Invisible Connectivity Matters   Delivering this level of invisible connectivity isn’t simple. It requires orchestration, automation, and intelligence working in concert behind the scenes. Broadband networks are messy under the hood. Routers, switches, devices, and other network hardware function as trusted tools that support consumers’ ...

    We’re excited to announce that AXON Networks will be exhibiting at NetworkX 2025 in Paris, October 14–16. You can find us at Booth C76. This year, NetworkX is all about how AI, cloud, and automation are reshaping telecom and enterprise connectivity. At AXON, we’re bringing the conversation to life with live demonstrations of our Operator-as-a-Service (OaaS) platform and the latest in: AI Agents – fixing subscriber issues in real time AXON Orchestrator – a unified interface for policy resilient networks AXON TruSpeed & Cloudcheck – giving operators and customers unmatched visibility and control Digital Twin Advantage – predicting network behavior before it impacts performance   For ISPs, Tier-1 operators, and enterprises, these aren’t just concepts they’re operational realities that reduce costs, improve NPS, and deliver the “invisible connectivity” that customers now expect. Visit Booth C76 to see how AXON Networks is redefining broadband operations. We look forwa...

  For years, the network operator’s job has been pretty straightforward: maintain network operations, keep operating costs under control, and respond when something goes wrong. Success was measured in network uptime duration and timely emergency response. However, in recent years, the landscape has shifted and network operations have undergone fundamental transformations.   Today, operators face three major challenges: increased bandwidth demand, more devices than ever on the network, and consumer demands for uninterrupted network access. As a result, the operator’s role has shifted — it’s no longer about maintaining network infrastructure but more about delivering seamless experiences. In this new reality, the Next-Gen Operator has evolved from its traditional fire-fighting role to become an intelligent operator that uses predictive capabilities and innovative solutions to lead the new network environment. Factors Driving this Shift Multiple factors are driving the transforma...

In the telecom industry, five years can feel like a lifetime. New technologies emerge, customer expectations evolve, and regulatory landscapes shift. And with global internet traffic expected to triple by 2030, the pressure will be on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to stay ahead of those changes. The real question for ISPs isn’t How fast is your network today? — it’s Will your network be ready for whatever comes next? The networks dominating in 2030 will be built differently from today’s networks. They’ll be built to withstand a perfect storm of demand, disruption, and opportunity. The Rise of AI-Driven Operations The bandwidth boom isn’t slowing down. Immersive experiences like AR, VR, and the metaverse will drive the need for speed and latency. Cloud-first everything — from gaming to enterprise workloads — will change network infrastructure as we know it today. And multi-gig broadband will become the new norm as operators evolve and grow to meet those demands. If your network inf...

  Today’s modern broadband network is one sprawling, complex ecosystem, with millions of components, devices and connections working together to connect the end user and their digital devices to the information and data they need. That breadth and interconnectedness give the network its strength. They also mean adding or changing a component at one end of the network has the potential to impact another component at the other end. ISPs need to be mindful of this as they grow their networks and expand their capabilities. Traditional network management involves time-consuming configurations and too many manual updates. Many ISPs also still rely on best-guess planning as they grow their networks, despite having access to advanced monitoring tools. That can lead to unintended consequences. For example: Would you launch a new network service without knowing exactly how your infrastructure will react? There’s one tool that should be a “must have” for ISPs looking to expand their capabilit...

  Modern ISPs face a data dilemma. Their networks are vast and complex, both in size and in the growing number of devices running on them. And with that size and complexity come massive amounts of data traveling across the networks in all directions. Data that must be continually monitored, managed, and optimized for dependable, always-on performance. Without real-time insight into this network data, ISPs risk service disruptions, inefficient troubleshooting, and increased churn. But ISPs are also finding opportunities in that continuous stream of data. The data traveling across the network is more than traffic to be managed, it can also be mined and harnessed to ensure superior network performance and an exceptional customer experience. Used effectively, real-time data becomes a strategic tool for ISPs to bridge the expectations gap and future-proof their networks and service offerings. Real-time data matters more than ever The edge is the new frontline. Home networks are now comp...
