1. Executive Summary & CPE Fleet Scale

Managing thousands of distributed Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) routers, optical GPON ONUs, and wireless access points across hotel properties and subscriber sites requires carrier-grade zero-touch automation. Physical technician visits for simple configuration adjustments or firmware updates are cost-prohibitive.

2. CWMP TR-069 Protocol Orchestration

Built and deployed a resilient Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) platform utilizing the Broadband Forum TR-069 (CWMP) protocol:

  • Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP): When an unconfigured router powers on and contacts the ACS, the device serial and vendor OUI match preset rules to automatically push WAN VLAN tags, PPPoE credentials, Wi-Fi SSIDs, and firewall rules in seconds.
  • Live Telemetry & Optical Diagnostics: Real-time querying of GPON RX/TX optical power levels, device uptime, memory utilization, and Wi-Fi interference metrics to detect fiber degradation before client outages occur.
  • Staged Firmware Deployment: Automated batch firmware upgrades rolled out in scheduled maintenance windows with automated fallback if reboot health checks fail.

3. Production Infrastructure & High Availability

Implemented on Debian Linux with Node.js microservices and MongoDB storage, reverse-proxied through Nginx with SSL client certificate authentication, effortlessly servicing continuous CWMP periodic inform packets.
