Hardware
Plume offers a variety of options depending on the deployment model. Regardless of an ISP’s size, from add-on resellers to small independent ISPs to multinational Tier 1 ISPs, a Plume hardware solution can be found for ISP partners. These can be over-the-top solutions that add on to existing networks to full cloud deployments, including hardware and feature customization. Hardware options are not limited to Plume pods, other OpenSync™ enabled network hardware can also be used to deploy Plume networks.
OpenSync™
A Service Provider may want to deploy Plume to networks already in consumer’s homes, in place of or in addition to adding new hardware. This can be done by adding OpenSync™ to existing hardware. However, working with OpenSync™ is not restricted to Service Providers because it is open-source software. This means that hardware manufacturers can also integrate OpenSync™ into new and existing network hardware.
Because the use of OpenSync™ requires cloud control, developers working with OpenSync™ can get access to the Plume cloud through the OpenSync™ Academy and its cloud deployment. In order to monitor and test hardware with the cloud developers also have access to Plume Central. Access to a Development and Validation cloud hosted by Plume is also available to developers on request.
