Scenario-based App
FAN Sharing
The FAN Sharing app is a value-added app of NCE-FAN that is dedicated for the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: A multi-tenant solution is provided for MSPs/NSPs to perform centralized O&M on access networks. An MSP/NSP
establishes a FANS platform and Internet service providers (ISPs) can lease the management resources of the FANS platform
and use their own access networks for O&M management. ISPs can also authorize the MSP/NSP to perform agent
maintenance on ISP networks.
Scenario 2: A multi-tenant solution is provided for MSP/NSP
tenants to share or allocate access network resources. After an
MSP/NSP tenant manages its FTTx resources on the FANS
platform, the MSP/NSP tenant can share OLT resources with
ISP tenants. The ISP tenants can independently provision
services to and perform O&M for the allocated resources.
Tenant Management
Tenant Management App is a network management system
deployed based on the public cloud. The SaaS platform
provides the multi-tenant management capability and can
help customers build manageable, visualized, and
maintainable business operations platform in SaaS mode,
providing high-quality and visualized network management
and O&M experience for end users.
