(ETI) (www.etisoftware.com) is a leading provider of automated, flow-through service activation software. Bulloch's installation of CableBridge will provide a foundation for its pending upgrade to ETI's Triad that will automate provisioning of its Motorola AXSvision Fiber-to-the-Premise network currently under construction. CableBridge is pre-integrated with Bulloch's telephone billing system; this will enable its subscriber to receive a converged bill for all services. Additionally, CableBridge will enable Bulloch to automate the activation of video services with no operator intervention, directly from its customer care and billing system. This translates into immediate cost savings and increased customer satisfaction. ETI's product is a stand-alone Linux-based system designed to allow the introduction of subscriber video services, convergent statements, Pay-Per-View event management and customer premise equipment inventory management into existing enterprise billing systems. "CableBridge provides us with an affordable, scalable method of provisioning video services to our growing subscriber base on a single, monthly bill," says Dennis Lewis, General Manager, Bulloch Telephone Cooperative. "More importantly, it lays the foundation for an upgrade to ETI's Triad. Triad will enable us to rapidly activate video, data and voice services over our new fiber-to-the-home network." A simple upgrade to Triad will provide Bulloch with "out-of-the-box" functionality to automate the complex provisioning processes for their Motorola AXSvision fiber-to-the-home network. Triad will automate activation of all service ports on the Optical Network Terminal (ONT ONT Ontario (old acronym - ON is now frequently used) ONT Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (cisco CCNP exam) ONT Optical Network Terminal ONT Ontario Northland Railway ), the termination point of the FTTP (Fiber To The Premises) The installation of optical fiber from the carrier directly into the home or office.

Triad also supports the automatic discovery of new ONTs on the FTTP network and can automatically provision these auto-discovered devices in real-time. Since Triad also provisions Motorola digital video technologies, it eliminates multiple data entry points and the service errors and delays associated with manual "swivel chair" processes.
