Our 'Constellation-Ready' gateways enable a variety of service packages to be delivered to various market segments (e.g. small business and residential customers).

With the ClearVision Management System, service packages can be instantly selected and activated by the end user during the initial setup procedure, through an integrated gateway upgrade portal, or by placing a phone order directly with the service provider.

For example, a user can initially sign up for the basic 'Hydra' service package and later upgrade to the premium 'Orion' service package to enjoy Managed WiFi, Content Filtering and Time Blocking. If a user signs up for IPTV then our gateways can be remotely configured to support this service. With ClearAccess Constellations, the possibilities are as limitless as space itself.

Managed WiFi

Configuring WiFi has historically been challenging for end users. Terms like WEP, SSID, hexadecimal, etc. often cause confusion and result in support calls. Many service providers encourage end users to make purchases at retail outlets to satisfy their wireless needs which results in lost revenue opportunities and a multi-device solution that is less than optimal for both parties.

ClearAccess gateways are designed to be simple to configure and operate. The ClearVision Management System enables service providers to access the gateway's wireless configuration remotely via the Control Panel which significantly reduces support calls and end user dependencies.

Content Filtering / Parental Controls

In the home, each family member can be associated with a particular filter class (e.g. child or teenager/adult) which dynamically governs which web sites can be accessed. In addition, specific sites that are not part of a filter class can be manually blocked or allowed. Parents can access violation logs or be notified via email if an attempt is made to access a blocked site.

In the office, employees or computers can be associated with an appropriate filter class so that everyone can stay focused on productivity. Based on neural network technology, there are over 68 million URLs in the content database and coverage is in 14 languages (e.g. 99.998% effective at blocking pornography).

Internet Time Blocking

End users, computers and gaming consoles (e.g. Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii) can be granted Internet access according to a defined schedule (e.g. weekdays from 7-9 pm) or according to a specified number of hours on a daily or weekly basis (e.g. 2 hours per day not to exceed 14 hours per week).

Port Forwarding / Secure Firewall

Gone are the days of searching for port forwarding settings in obscure corners of the Internet. We enable the most popular multiplayer games (e.g. Halo 3), media devices (e.g. Xbox 360), remote access (e.g. Windows Remote Desktop) and messaging applications (e.g MSN) to work seamlessly via pull-down menus. Customdefined port forwarding configurations for advanced users are also supported.

Universal Device Management™ (UDM™) leverages port forwarding to enable any device on the home or office LAN that has a web interface (e.g. printers, gaming consoles, surveillance cameras, ATAs, etc.) to be remotely managed. UDMTM enables operators to offer a managed LAN service as part of their overall service offering.

Auto-IPTV Config

Rolling out IPTV is easier with ClearAccess. No longer are end users required to send their gateways back to the service provider to be reconfigured for IPTV. Our gateways can be remotely configured with the ClearVision Management System to support numerous IPTV configurations and multiple set top boxes.
