I want to...
I want to deliver value-added services over broadband
Broadband is no longer just about connectivity — it’s about the services enabled on top. We develop devices that act as a platform for value-added services, from cloud storage and home security through to low-latency gaming.
Our approach ensures that CPE and gateways are optimised to deliver performance and reliability for service-intensive applications.
We help you transform your device fleet into a service platform, opening up new revenue streams while enhancing customer satisfaction.
I want stronger control over vendor dependencies and software stack ownership
Operators are increasingly recognising the risks of being locked into vendor-controlled software stacks. We help clients take back control by designing and delivering devices with open, modular, and customisable software layers.
This gives ISPs greater influence over roadmaps, feature sets, and integration — reducing dependency on any single vendor.
Our team has extensive experience in open-source platforms, containerised services, and middleware that support flexible, future-proof architectures. The result is increased agility, independence, and confidence in the long-term viability of your device ecosystem.
I need to launch a new broadband gateway / CPE product aligned to our offering
Launching a new device is complex — from defining the correct specification to ensuring performance, compliance, and manufacturability. We partner with ISPs to turn product vision into reality, guiding every stage from concept and design through to validation, certification, and supply chain support.
We de-risk launches by providing a structured pathway through prototyping, NPI, interoperability testing, and pilot deployments. By managing both the technical and operational challenges, we help you achieve faster time-to-market with fewer surprises.
The result: devices that not only meet your business objectives but also deliver reliable, secure, and differentiating experiences in the customer’s home.
I want to modernise our existing device fleet with better software, security, and remote diagnostics
You don’t need to rip and replace your entire CPE fleet to reap the benefits of modern software. By shifting existing hardware over to open, modular platforms like prplOS or RDK-B, you unlock a path to incremental upgrades without new device purchases.
We help you rearchitect or retrofit device software with life-cycle management, containerised services, OTA updates, and enhanced telemetry.
This approach extends device life, drives down support costs, and puts you on a sustainable upgrade path for future features.
Now is the time for transformation
Connectivity demands are accelerating — more devices, more bandwidth, stricter latency, and higher expectations. Operators must evolve:
From “dumb pipes” to value-added service platforms
From rigid vendor stacks to modular, software-defined infrastructure
From reactive operations to predictive, analytics-driven operations
From legacy support to future-proof architecture
Let us help you stay ahead, differentiate your broadband offering, and deliver outstanding experiences.
