DAY 2 6 WISPAMERICA I MARCH 4 - 7, 2024 www.bekabusinessmedia.com Positron Access Solutions announced that its Access G.hn access multiplexer (GAM) – which can support more than 250 operators in delivering gigabit internet services over existing, legacy building wiring – includes native XGS-PON support that is now in use by more than 25 North American broadband service providers (BSPs) since its October 2023 launch. These BSPs, it was noted, successfully leveraged the integration of G.hn and XGS-PON with full interoperability with Calix SMx / Operations Cloud and E-series OLT, eliminating the need for any IT integration effort. The P-XGS-ONT comes in an SFP+ form factor and turns the Positron GAM into a 24-port ONT. This multi-subscriber ONT offers comprehensive OMCI support for seamless flow, through provisioning from the BSS to the OLT and to the subscriber, exactly as with other single-family ONT devices. This offers significant capital expense savings over rewiring a building. The ITU-T G.988-based OMCI capabilities, meanwhile, allow full creation, provisioning, activation and management of subscribers (VLAN, bandwidth profile). The GAM as an ONT now supports firmware updates from the OLT. Advanced troubleshooting is accessible via the GAM GUI. The GAM operates over coaxial cabling or telephone pairs offering incomparable operating efficiencies compared to alternative technologies. This offers significant capital expense savings over rewiring a building. J Visit Positron Access Solutions at WISPAMERICA booth #308. Positron Announces Milestone with Operators Deploying XGS-PON Integration for GAM Solution In keeping with Sandy Beaches Software’s long-standing ability to not just listen, but to make client requests a reality, the company announced a realtime interface that incorporates the Zoho Books accounting and general ledger system. In 2023, the Zoho family of products added more than 20 million users, achieving a monumental milestone of 100 million total customers. “We’ve had several clients ask for an API integration with Zoho Books. By combining our billing and customer care platform, IntegriBill, and Zoho Books voice providers are able to generate clear, compliant invoices for their customers while still running the rest of their business with Zoho Books,” remarked lead developer, Riley Pate. “The integration, similar to our one with QuickBooks Online, enables IntegriBill clients to see every line item from an end user’s invoice within their Zoho Books system. This benefits SBS clients’ accounting departments and outsourced accounting services who now have access to the customer data without needing to access the IntegriBill program. They can accomplish tasks without the need to learn another program or contact the billing department for specialized reports simply by using the data that’s been loaded to generate reports from their general ledger program. IntegriBill invoices may be exported into Zoho Books, including the charges and taxes, providing the ability to have a complete view of the business. Zoho Books meets providers’ accounting needs and IntegriBill will handle the invoice compliance and taxes specific to the telecom industry.” Other recent IntegriBill integrations of note include Powercode (Booth 132) and Bicom Systems. “Jeff and his team have been very proactive at adding integrations for us. SBS’ billing platform, IntegriBIll, has the reporting, integrated tax engine and compliance features that we need to handle our invoicing. Since the integration with Bicom, we’ve seen an improvement in our aging and fraud numbers because we have the ability to do a soft disconnect and hard disconnect with Bicom,” said WISPA member Kevin Reno, also president of Southern California Telephone. “A soft disconnect (customers still have the ability to receive calls, but not make an outbound call – 911 and 988 being the exceptions) really gets their attention, and our receivables average has improved drastically. I anticipate that the SBS team will continue to expand their integrations based on customer feedback. They always seem to keep their client’s profitability and efficiency at the forefront of everything they do.” J Visit Sandy Beaches Software at WISPAMERICA booth #616.
