Nology, South Africa’s leader in Device Management and Provisioning solutions for Service Providers and Telco’s have recently expanded their Axiros solution portfolio to include Axtract - a powerful data analytics and Quality of Experience (QoE) module.

Axiros offers the world’s most complete CPE vendor agnostic Device Management Solutions and Nology is the exclusive distributor and systems integrator for Axiros in South Africa.

South Africa’s ISP landscape has become fiercely competitive in recent years, particularly in the Fibre to the Home market. With margins coming under ever increasing pressure, it has become essential for service providers to reduce operational costs and maximize efficiency.

Riaan Leuschner, Nology’s Sales Director says: “The Axiros platform is all about providing a competitive advantage to our Service Provider and Reseller partners. We work closely with these partners, so we understand the challenges they are facing and exactly how competitive the market is for them. By dramatically streamlining their CPE provisioning, logistics and support operations, we have successfully helped these customers to improve their efficiency and margins.”

Axtract QoE aims to deliver a complete picture of the total customer experience to the Service Provider by adding the ability to measure the Quality of Experience of one individual customer or across an entire population of devices or customers at any point in time or historically.

Nology’s Device Management Business Unit Manager Adriaan Liebenberg says “We are excited by the new dimension that QoE brings to the market. Nology has been offering zero-touch provisioning, monitoring, and support tools for IP phones and routers for over 10 years now and adding QoE monitoring and analytics to allow our partners to have full insight into their customers’ experience is going to add massive value and benefit to them.”

Traditionally, DMS systems have been extremely expensive to acquire and implement, putting it in reach of only the largest service providers.

“Our Axiros Platform as a Service model is a first in the country and has been met with huge success. By dramatically reducing the barrier to entry and removing the upfront costs, we have been able to onboard partners to whom the system would previously have been beyond their reach. We are proud to say that today we are approaching half a million devices being actively managed by our systems,” Leuschner adds.

JOHANNESBURG – August 02, 2017 – The local availability of Yealink’s CP960 IP conference phone for medium to large meeting rooms promises to enhance business audio conference call experiences and allow call participants to concentrate on the business at hand, rather than fretting about audio quality and dropped calls.

This is according to Alex Bantjes, product manager at Nology, the Platinum distributor of Yealink in South Africa. Bantjes says, “The globalisation of the workplace means it is imperative for audio conference call participants in different parts of a country, or even across the globe, to be able to get down to business on a conference call, without having to endure the distractions of struggling to setup the call and dealing with a difficult to use user interface.

“The Yealink CP960 allows us to firmly take on competitors in the audio conferencing space and provides an excellent opportunity to show the latest and greatest features that Yealink has to offer. The Yealink CP960 provides superb audio quality, thanks to Yealink’s collaboration with iconic audio brand Harmon Kardon, which ensures crystal-clear voice communication in any boardroom. Combined with world-class connectivity features such as built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and running on an Android Operating system, the Yealink CP960 is as good as an audio conferencing phone gets.”

The Yealink CP960 has a world class set of features that are sure to make it your conference phone of choice.

Reliable, wide-range voice pick-up

The CP960 IP Conference Phone offers six-metre-wide, 360-degree dead-zone free voice pick-up, for a full audio conferencing experience. Voice pick-up distance can be increased to as much as 18 metres using a pair of Yealink wireless microphones (CPW90) with embedded DECT technology.

External noise elimination

The CP960 IP Conference Phone also features Yealink Noise Proof technology, which eliminates external environmental noise like typing, air conditioners and background conversation during calls. Yealink Noise Proof can also automatically mute the microphone when someone is not speaking, turning it back on when a human voice is detected in the room.

Ergonomic design

The phone features a stylish metallic silver finish and its 12.5 centimetre, high-resolution multi-touch screen provides a fast, simple user experience.

Pentagon meeting room

Users will also benefit from the CP960’s virtual meeting room interface, the Yealink Pentagon Meeting Room, which enables up to five-party conferencing. It’s also possible to invite participants without having to pause or interrupt an ongoing conversation. The Yealink CP960’s Active Speaker feature will automatically detect which caller is speaking and highlights them on screen.

Hybrid unified communications (UC) meeting

When using a mobile phone or PC-based soft phone like Skype for Business, calls can be routed directly to the CP960 over a USB port or Bluetooth.

The CP960 also comes with 100-hour local (on phone) call recording, built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a powerful Android 5.1 operating system.

“In today’s globalised work environment, audio conferencing allows participants to be as good as in the same room. The CP960 helps to make brainstorming and project management more seamless in sharing ideas, flagging issues and finally making decisions,” concludes Bantjes.
