Intelligent Network technology consists of remotely manageable and automatically adjusting broadband nodes and amplifiers, 还有他们的管理软件. They have been designed to help operators improve quality of service while keeping operational cost in control.
The number of subscribers increases and new services require more network capacity. Higher capacity demands are tackled with network re-segmentation, which in practice leads to laborious node splitting and costly on-site adjustment of network devices. The result is not only increased risk for human errors and network unreliability, 但也带来了更高的运营成本.
Bringing intelligence to networks provides operators an effective way to solve these problems.

One key issue in network management and maintenance is that network problems can be difficult to locate which makes fixing service issues slow, leads to higher repair costs and takes customers onto a path potentially leading to churn. Intelligent network devices can be used to find out where the disturbances enter the network and what their impact areas are. The management software can attach detailed spatial information to each device and, 当来自受影响设备的信息到达时, 在地图上显示它的确切位置. 正如实地经验所示, up to 60% of truck rolls can be avoided by knowing precisely where to go to fix a problem.
提高客户满意度
Network reliability is the single-most influential factor causing customer dissatisfaction in the cable television industry. Intelligent Networks management software can help avoiding even 30% of all customer calls and tickets by providing the needed information from the device level up to fix issues quickly and effectively. In addition, the intelligent devices feature an automated ingress-switching functionality that allows segregating the failing network segments until fixed, thus limiting the number of homes contaminated by the ingress.
降低宽带网络功耗
Intelligent nodes and amplifiers introduce several innovations for controlling power consumption in the amplifier module, including remotely adjustable performance levels as well as autonomous and load-based performance adjustment. These are based on the simple idea to save energy by adjusting bias current in the amplifier module according to the actual capacity in use. This can save up to 30% of the power consumed by the amplifier module, which, in turn, can reduce the total network power consumption by up to 20% without sacrificing the end-user quality of service.
避免上门维修
Older cable television networks have been pampered with lower order QAM constellations and lower frequencies that left enough of a carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) margin to be wasted. For instance, seasonal network visits, due to lower/higher temperatures, might have been futile. However, the use of frequencies above 1 GHz causes a paradigm shift and old rules do not apply, 中国北车的利润不能再浪费了. The intelligent network devices are able to reconfigure themselves and keep all adjustments precise thus avoiding regular on-site maintenance visits. This means that, for instance, 温度变化不影响网络性能, 消费者可以享受到稳定的宽带速度.
更高的网络正常运行时间，节省时间和金钱
The overall impact of 智能网络 on network maintenance is significant. 十大可靠彩票平台客户的经验证明了这一点, on average, the technology enables a 30-minute-faster repair time for the ingress and CPD problems while making severe node area breaks 150 minutes shorter. 扩展到整个网络级别, 服务正常运行时间的增加是显著的, 金钱上的好处也是如此.
“Automated ingress control process allows us to ensure that the quality of services experienced by our subscribers is high, and our network will be able to meet consumers’ data transmission demands in all circumstances. For our personnel, the automated process gives time to concentrate on more value adding tasks, 而不是手动运行入口控制进程.”
