Proactive Network Maintenance
Identify and Fix Impairments Before Subscribers Notice.
OV PNM is OpenVault’s AI-driven proactive network maintenance solution — enabling broadband providers to detect RF impairments, optimize resource allocation, and improve subscriber quality of experience while reducing operational costs.
The Challenge
Reactive maintenance costs more than you think.
Every impairment that goes undetected becomes a subscriber complaint, a truck roll, or a churn event. OV PNM shifts your operation from reactive to proactive — before problems compound.
Hidden RF Impairments
Suckouts, standing waves, and ingress degrade service silently — often going undetected until a subscriber calls.
Avoidable Truck Rolls
Without precise impairment location, crews are dispatched to symptoms — not causes — driving repeat visits and rising OPEX.
Degraded QoE
Unresolved impairments erode subscriber experience, drive up contact center volume, and accelerate churn before anyone acts.
Slow Root Cause Identification
Manual network sweeps and siloed data make it hard to pinpoint exactly where — and why — performance is degrading.
Costly Field Equipment
Reliance on test equipment and yearly recalibration adds cost and slows technician response in the field.
Subscriber Churn
Poor install quality and repeat impairments compound churn risk. Prevention during install is cheaper than win-back.
How It Works
Detect. Diagnose. Resolve.
OV PNM provides end-to-end visibility from the plant to the home — with AI-driven prioritization and mobile app capabilities that make adoption seamless across large-scale field deployments.
01
Detect
Continuously sweep the network to capture RF impairments — whether outside the plant or inside the subscriber’s home.
02
Diagnose
AI-driven analysis pinpoints the exact point of impairment, determines root cause, and gives technicians precise, actionable intelligence before they roll.
03
Resolve
Prioritized corrective action guidance routes the right crew to the right issue. Mobile app verifies RF levels and birth certificates on-site, eliminating return visits from the install.
Benefits
Value for every team
OV PNM delivers measurable OPEX and CAPEX savings across field operations, customer care, and network engineering.
-
- Mobile app enables impairment detection and prioritization in the field — no bulky test equipment required
- Verify RF levels and birth certificates before leaving the premise — eliminating return visits
- Approximately 70% of proactive troubles are repaired on the first truck roll
- Evaluate ROI on contractor cable modem installs with the built-in installer tool
- Detect plant faults before the subscriber calls — reducing inbound contact volume significantly
- 50% decrease in repeat calls and reduced churn within the first 60 days of deployment
- CSR and field force management tools improve coordination and reduce escalation time
- Proactive resolution prevents the subscriber experience degradation that drives churn
- Reduce resolution time and repeat truck rolls by up to 45% through precise impairment identification
- Reduce network sweeps — automated monitoring replaces manual field inspection cycles
- End-to-end visibility from outside the plant to inside the home — suckouts, standing waves, FM ingress
- 80% reduction in Immediate Action modems — prioritize what matters most, automatically
- Significant OPEX reduction: fewer truck rolls, lower care costs, reduced field equipment spend
- 25% reduction in cable modem troubles per 100 customers — measurable QoE improvement at scale
- Proactive churn prevention: address impairments before they escalate into service interruptions
- Save on test equipment and yearly recalibration costs through mobile-first field operations
