“Open access is our primary engine of growth. It’s our largest customer segment — and where we’re expanding fastest.”
Reach hundreds of thousands of new potential subscribers
Many of our customers are launching large Open Access fiber projects with the potential to reach
hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses — adding up to more than a million subscribers in
total. These networks are actively looking for Service Providers to join their marketplaces and
deliver services to their communities.
As the network owner funds the fiber build-out, electronics, and network operations, you can focus
on what you do best: delivering great services, support, and customer experience.
What’s in it for you as a Service Provider?
- Easily scale your business fast – Aside from operational costs, your up-front
investment is minimal since the network owner handles the fiber infrastructure and the operator
manages the electronics. - Focus on your core business – Service delivery, customer support, and sales are
your strengths. The Open Access model lets you double down on those while the infrastructure
side is taken care of. - Operate as if it were your own network – With access to our operations platform,
COS Business Engine, you can review real-time service performance data directly from the network
and support your customers with confidence. - Zero-touch service provisioning – Thanks to automated workflows in COS Business
Engine, neither the operator nor the service provider needs to manually provision service orders.
Subscribers get an unmatched experience: activating new services with just a few clicks. - Online marketplace & customer portal – Subscribers can browse and select services
on the online marketplace and be up and running about a minute later, while you receive an
automatic notification to start billing. - One setup, many networks – Once your team is trained on our platform, the effort
to expand to another network running COS Business Engine is minimal. As more networks come online,
your growth potential becomes exponential.
Why Open Access makes business sense for ISPs
- Sell service, not fiber – Plug into existing networks and start winning
customers without funding the entire build-out yourself. - One HQ, many cities – Provision, bill, and support subscribers in multiple
markets with a single operational stack. - Zero truck rolls for activations – Remote activation and marketplace workflows
turn weeks into minutes. - Faster path to revenue – Move from contract to cash in weeks instead of years.
- Grow subscribers, not debt – Healthier unit economics by leveraging
shared infrastructure.
COS Business Engine – the platform behind the networks
Our customers run their Open Access fiber operations on COS Business Engine, a
BSS/OSS platform purpose-built to automate the business of broadband. It enables:
- Automated provisioning and deprovisioning of services
- Real-time service monitoring and performance data
- Multi-provider Open Access marketplaces
- Wholesale billing and reporting for all providers on the network
- Customer self-service via an online marketplace and customer portal
- Service Provider self-management of products, pricing, and offers
The result is a transparent and efficient way of working between operators and
service providers — and a smooth experience for subscribers.
