As a result of a focused research and development effort, BroadJump's innovative technology extends the company's industry leading Virtual Truck(TM) Installer and Virtual Truck Qualifier solutions to further automate and simplify the processes necessary for customer acquisition. The new technology will be unveiled via a demonstration at this week's Western Cable show in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. in booth number 2101. "Subscriber self-installation and provisioning is essential to accelerating broadband market growth," said Michael Harris Mike Harris or Michael Harris may refer to:
Whether in a retail fulfillment or traditional telephone-based ordering scenario, BroadJump's flow-through provisioning technology simplifies the complexities associated with the provisioning of high-speed access. The BroadJump demonstration showcases the automation of provisioning network components required to provide broadband access over cable networks. These include such processes as customer registration, network activation, and PC configuration, resulting in a complete end-to-end user self-fulfillment solution. By leveraging BroadJump's existing solutions for the fulfillment of high-speed access as well as it's partners' technologies, the demonstration focuses on how broadband cable providers can easily enable a flow-though provisioning environment. Flow-Through Provisioning Demonstration In this demonstration, potential broadband subscribers will be guided through the registration, ordering and provisioning of a new PC in the context of a retail environment. After the consumer enters the appropriate registration information, back office provisioning events are initiated. The consumer is then able to purchase a self-installation kit, including modem, install guide and the Virtual Truck Installer CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). . Once in the home environment, the consumer is stepped through the installation process using the Virtual Truck Installer CD-ROM. During this installation process, BroadJump's Virtual Truck Installer leverages BroadJump's ControlWorks(TM) server to integrate with the back-end provisioning systems - further automating the fulfillment of the high-speed Internet connection.
