Active Broadband Networks was founded in 2005 by a team of experienced executives and engineers who recognized that the management of consumer broadband networks requires accurate individual subscriber information and network information computed from individual subscriber information. 

The team identified that system vendors were in the process of increasing the richness of information transferred to billing systems and operators were demanding standardization to an emerging, unified transfer mechanism called IP Detail Records. 

We pioneered the use of billing information and processing it for use in Resource Management.  We use this information to develop applications that help our customers address key issues in network and subscriber management. These include planning resource usage over time, configuration and control of network resources, and managing the experience and behavior of individual subscribers based upon their impact on network resource availability.

IPDR has been broadly embraced by CableLabs® and its members.  DOCSIS® 3.0, the latest release of DOCSIS®, is being deployed by Cable Operators to provide new and higher speed services to their subscribers has increased support for IPDR.  All subscriber and network management information that requires high reliability and is generated in large volumes is provided by IPDR for collection, processing and storage by systems such as the Active Resource Manager.

Our platform, the Active Resource Manager, has been deployed by some of the worlds largest Cable System Operators. .
