FINE POINT TECHNOLOGIES CERTIFIES TR-069 NETGEAR DSL CPE
New York, NY, June 2, 2005 - Fine Point Technologies, a leader in broadband subscriber management and support solutions, today announced it has tested and certified Netgear CPE for compliance and interoperability with the TR 069 standard.
John O'Keefe, CEO of Fine Point Technologies states, "We have seen significant demand from our customers for TR-069 based CPE auto-configuration and remote management, and are pleased to begin a significant wave of TR-069 certifications with the Netgear line of DSL and VoIP CPE."
"Our growing base of service provider customers around the world has been vocal in the desire to reduce the frequency and duration of installation and support related calls with a standards-based, rather than proprietary, remote management and configuration solution," stated David James, director of product marketing and management for broadband services at NETGEAR. "For years we have successfully offered CableHome® certified products to our cable customers, and we now have a compelling solution for our xDSL and Fiber to the Premises customers. This is yet another example of how our innovative partnership strategy streamlines and simplifies customers' broadband experience"
Fine Point's CyberAdvantage Device Manager allows broadband data, voice and video service providers to dramatically lower the time and costs to activate and support their subscribers.
