At BBWF 2019, devolo is to launch a new suite of services for international telecommunications companies and ISPs. These solutions are claimed to be for perfect Wi-Fi with powerline communications as a backbone and are aimed at the evolution of home networking.
“Hardware and beyond” – that’s the motto of this year’s appearance of German based devolo AG at the BBWF. The world market provider of power line communications (PLC) has been serving international telecommunications companies and ISPs for many years, mainly as an OEM partner for tailor-made home networking products. At BBWF 2019, the company now introduces the new portfolio “Service Set Plus”, aiming at a quicker time-to-market and lower service costs for its clients.
The event takes place from 15th to 17th October 2019 at the RAI convention centre in Amsterdam, where devolo will be at booth H30. devolo is also inviting visitors to a fireside chat on 16th October, moderated by senior analyst Michael Philpott from Ovum Research.
As part of the new offering, devolo will enable companies to adapt proven retail products for home networking to their needs: Tailor-made firmware will be installed as soon as the customer puts the PLC or Wi-Fi/PLC adapters into operation. Thus, configurations are set up appropriately right from the start.
Additionally, devolo offers telcos and ISPs to provide them with information on the status of the devices and to update them remotely regularly. By this managed service, security patches or modified functions can be installed without high maintenance efforts from the partner. On request, devolo can also take care of the return and refurbishment of the devices. Telcos and ISPs thus save additional costs, and resources are spared.
“Our new service offer is particularly interesting for small and medium-sized telcos and ISPs”, says Sebastian Richter, senior product manager Operator Solutions at devolo. “For them, it might not pay off to have their own OEM product, but at the same time, they want to provide their customers with an individually tailored home networking solution. Combining devolo products, proven millions of times over, tailored firmware and managed services – Service Set Plus now makes this possible.”
