The Multi-Vendor Challenge

If you're managing a network of customer premises equipment (CPE) from multiple vendors, you know the pain. Different management interfaces, incompatible protocols, fragmented visibility, multiple ACSs and the constant headache of vendor lock-in. What if there was a better way?

Broadband Service Providers face a common dilemma: your network infrastructure includes routers, modems, gateways, and IoT devices from dozens of different manufacturers. Each vendor has their own management system, their own quirks, their own limitations. The result? Your operations team is juggling multiple platforms, struggling with inconsistent data, and spending countless hours on manual configuration tasks that should be automated.

The traditional approach forces you into a corner. Stick with one vendor and face lock-in. Mix vendors and face chaos. Neither option is acceptable in today's fast-moving telecom landscape.

Unified Control Center

Oktopus is a unified TR-369 (USP) Controller and TR-069 (CWMP) ACS platform that brings all your CPE devices under one roof, regardless of manufacturer. Built from the ground up to be multi-vendor and open source, Oktopus eliminates the fragmentation that's holding your network operations back.

What Makes Oktopus Different?

True Multi-Vendor Support
Any device that follows TR-369 or TR-069 protocols can be managed through Oktopus. That means your TP-Link routers, Huawei modems, Nokia gateways and many more; all managed from a single pane of glass. No more switching between systems or maintaining separate infrastructure for different device types.

Protocol Flexibility
Oktopus supports both legacy TR-069 (CWMP) and modern TR-369 (USP) protocols, allowing you to smoothly migrate to next-generation standards while maintaining full visibility into your existing device fleet. You're not forced to rip and replace; you can evolve your network at your own pace.

Multi-MTP Architecture
For USP deployments, Oktopus gives you complete flexibility in choosing your Message Transfer Protocol. Whether you prefer MQTT for battle-tested IoT-like big deployments, WebSockets for real-time applications, or STOMP for enterprise messaging, Oktopus has you covered. The CWMP standard operates over HTTP(s), and Oktopus handles it seamlessly alongside your USP devices.

Cloud, On-Premises, or Hybrid
Deploy Oktopus wherever it makes sense for your business. Run it in the cloud for scalability and ease of management, keep it on-premises for maximum control and security, or build a hybrid solution that gives you the best of both worlds. The architecture is designed for distributed clusters across multiple regions with built-in failover and disaster recovery.

Real-World Impact

Organizations across 60+ countries are already using Oktopus to transform their device management operations. From small and medium ISPs looking to compete more effectively, to large telecommunications operators managing millions of devices, to CPE vendors developing and testing their products to service integrators.

The benefits are immediate and measurable:

- Automated Workflows: Stop manually configuring devices one by one. Mass actions, and zero touch provisioning turn days of work into minutes.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Stream device telemetry directly into your data pipeline. Get real-time insights that drive better network planning and faster problem resolution.
- Reduced Operational Costs: One platform to learn, one interface to support, one integration to maintain. Your team becomes more efficient overnight.
- Future-Proof Architecture: USP's containerized approach to software modules means you can deploy third-party applications, manage firmware lifecycle independently, and adapt to new use cases without touching your core infrastructure.

Built for the Connected Future

The telecommunications landscape is evolving rapidly. IoT devices are proliferating, home networks are becoming more complex, and customer expectations for reliability and performance are higher than ever. USP (TR-369) represents the natural evolution beyond TR-069, designed specifically for this new reality with superior security, scalability, and support for virtualized applications.

Oktopus embraces this future while respecting the present. Your TR-069 devices don't become obsolete overnight. Your investment in existing infrastructure is protected. But you gain the ability to layer in modern capabilities like containerized microservices, multi-stakeholder management, and sophisticated IoT integrations as your network evolves.

Why Wait?

The question isn't whether you need unified device management across all your CPE vendors. The question is how much longer you can afford to operate without it.

Every day you spend managing fragmented systems is a day your competitors are pulling ahead with more efficient operations. Every manual configuration task is time your engineers could spend on innovation instead of firefighting. Every vendor-specific platform you maintain is budget that could be invested in growing your business.

Oktopus gives you a single solution that works with all CPE vendors you can think of. Multi-vendor, multi-protocol, multi-MTP support in one platform. Open source transparency with enterprise-grade reliability. Cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployment options.

The future of device management is unified, flexible, and open. Discover how Oktopus can transform your network operations.
