Gatespace TR-069 managed applications

For All Things TR-069


	Gatespace Applications
	By adding applications ino the gateway device, service providers are able to convert what is generally regarded as a commodity "modem" from a pure expense to a source of revenue adding value to the service and enhancing customer retention. TR-069 facilitates the provisioning, configuration and day-to-day management of applications without limiting the ability of each application to interact with specialized servers. It is possible for the service provider to provision, activate/deactivate applications/services for third parties effectively renting out access the infrastructure end-points while retaing full control over service levels.
	Experience
	Gatespace’s roots are in pre TR-069 applications developed initially for the OSGi environment, then proprietary implementations for the major gateway chipsets, then with the advent of TR-069 standards-based management. It is not unusual for multiple applications to exist concurrently in the same gateway either independantly or in a cooperating mode. Gatespace applications currently deployed include:
	• Set-Top Box Resource Control • Configuration Automation (router port mapping) • Content Filtering (e.g. parental controls) • Acces Control (by time of day, device, identity, time rationing) • Hot Spots (subscription and access control) • Reconciliation of local and remote configuration changes (using local OSGi interface)
