Xantaro FTTX Service Portfolio

Full Fibre Networks offer a cost-effective high-speed solution for the service providers to offer GPON, XGSPON and high bandwidth point-to-point services whilst also supporting the adoption of digital transformational technologies like SDN/SDWAN/SASE (which are driven by more and more applications being cloud hosted and driving user experience and productivity) pushing security to the Cloud/Edge – securely connecting users/ endpoints (identities) to services.

From working with many AltNets over the years, Xantaro understand and can offer the agile and dynamic approach AltNets require, which some larger vendors are not able to due to their large corporate process requirements.

Consulting, Planning, Design

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The project team will be engaged with the customer and the requirement from the pre-sales phase all the way through to the handover to Operational Support.
This brings structure and control to the deployment to improve efficiencies and accelerate project completion.

DESIGN SERVICES

Xantaro can offer all design related documentation from HLD/LLD to test plans for all elements within the network.
Once the networks are designed, the consultant(s) can also work with the customer for its implementation.

Engineering, Testing & PoC

Proof of Concept (PoC)
Xantaro are able to attend customer sites to demonstrate the fixed network hardware and its fundamentals to support technical understanding of the hardware on offer.
XT³Lab
Xantaro host a lab with multi-million pounds worth of hardware across a magnitude of vendors and technology areas. For further information, please click XT³Lab.
UK Lab as a service (LaaS)
Want to prove your fixed network solution without having to wait for the hardware to be delivered? Or, want to prove a new solution/feature without the expense of setting it up? Xantaro can offer a LaaS to get your lab up and running with short lead times or as a remote extension to your current lab. Xantaro can also offer consultants to assist with the testing acceleration.
Management Platform
The configuration and control of the network can be actioned in a number of ways. Xantaro offer management platforms with easy-to-use GUI for a lighter touch than the CLI equivalent.

Delivery, Installation & Integration

Logistics

Receive and control the hardware from the vendor
Coordinate with staging
Coordinate with Xantaro field engineering
Deliveries to site
Coordination with spare-parts
Storage of goods in-line with the roll-out plan

Staging

Once the hardware is received from the vendor, Xantaro can stage the goods so that they are ready for plug and play once they are with the customer. As our staging areas are located within a designated room off our Logistics area, we are able to action a very quick turnaround on staging to keep the deployment moving forward as quickly as possible.

Field Services

Xantaro can install the hardware at the appropriate site and then perform the required line-up/commissioning elements for the technology.

Enablement & Training

Training

There will be a number of feature and technologies that are new to individuals when it comes to deployments. Xantaro can offer training to either ‘just get you started’ or all the way through to official vendor certifications. For further information visit Training & Education.

Automated Provisioning Platforms

Want to make the end-users request as light touch for you as possible? Automated provisioning platforms can help achieve this. Capturing the end-user’s information and automatically using this to deliver a service will reduce mistakes, head count and bottle neck delays which will decrease costs and increase customer satisfaction.

Flexible Financial Models

Xantaro already works with financial partners, who are familiar with our area of business, to engage customers when they require additional credit for larger purchases or want a pay-as-you-grow model.

Maintenance & Proactive Support

Network Health Monitoring and Updates

Predictive care takes support to the next level of efficiency! Predictive care is also revolutionizing the support model to move away from traditional reactive support to a cognitive approach that predicts faults and solves them rapidly.
Yukon is a Xantaro created central platform for high-performance network and service management, Yukon collects relevant information from a variety of network systems, normalises the data, and correlates it within different applications. For further information visit Yukon.
Through XFAST, Xantaro have created an automated process that accelerates error-prone manual test processes and ensures faster and regular software updates in the productive network! For further details visit XFAST.
