Network Management

From OLT to WiFi, one dashboard

Purpose-built for fibre ISPs. Monitor OLTs, PON networks, and subscriber CPEs across 15+ vendors from a single cloud dashboard — with 30-second polling, smart alert correlation, and full TR-069 ACS management.

Why We Built NetSense

Vendor-supplied NMS tools promise everything and deliver frustration. We know — we ran networks on them for years.

Grey screens, 9-click workflows

Vendor-supplied NMS tools ship with clunky UIs that turn every troubleshooting session into a treasure hunt — inflating mean-time-to-resolution during outages.

One vendor, one NMS

Add a second OLT vendor and you juggle separate dashboards, distinct logins, incompatible schemas, and duplicate documentation. Cross-vendor correlation becomes impossible.

“Free” tools that cost a fortune

The free label evaporates at scale — Windows Server licences, Java heap tuning, 100-page setup manuals, and paid add-ons for API access or historical export.

Blind to the last mile

Traditional NMS platforms monitor switches and routers but stop at the OLT. Fibre cuts, degrading Rx power, and CPE issues stay invisible until subscribers call in.

Proven at Scale

Powering India's largest FTTH provider

Excitel Broadband chose NetSense to manage their rapid fibre rollout across India. The results speak for themselves.

What NetSense Does

End-to-end visibility from the OLT to the subscriber's WiFi — in one platform, across every vendor.

OLT Monitoring

Real-time health tracking for every OLT — temperature, CPU, memory, power supply, fan status, and uptime — with 30-second polling and threshold-based alerts.

PON Monitoring

Per-ONU visibility into Rx/Tx power, FEC errors, registration state, and traffic. Automatic partial PON failure detection pinpoints splitter and fibre issues.

TR-069 ACS

Zero-touch provisioning, bulk firmware updates, remote diagnostics, and WiFi telemetry for 500K+ CPEs — no truck rolls required.

Smart Alert Correlation

Customisable alert rules with intelligent correlation. Know whether an ONU went offline because of a fibre cut, a power outage, or a device fault — before the subscriber calls.

Network Topology

Visual topology mapping from OLT through splitters to ONUs. Locate any device by serial number, MAC address, or customer ID in seconds.

Multi-Vendor, Single Dashboard

Huawei, Nokia, Syrotech, TechNXT, Genexis, Richerlink, and more — all monitored from one unified interface with consistent metrics and alerts.

WiFi Telemetry

See inside the subscriber’s home — connected devices, signal strength, channel congestion, and bandwidth usage per CPE. Detect issues before complaints arrive.

Cloud SaaS

No on-premises hardware, no maintenance windows. NetSense runs on a dedicated private cloud managed by the Extreme Labs team with 99.9% uptime.

Full REST API

Integrate with your OSS/BSS, ticketing system, and automation workflows. Every metric and action available in NetSense is accessible programmatically.

The Story

2020

Born from a real problem

Excitel Broadband, one of India’s fastest-growing FTTH providers, was transitioning from traditional LCO networks to fibre. They needed to manage thousands of OLTs and millions of ONUs across multiple vendors — and no existing tool could do it. Extreme Labs built NetSense to solve exactly that.

2021

Dogfooded on our own network

Before releasing NetSense commercially, Extreme Labs deployed it across its own Internet Exchange infrastructure — 45+ PoPs across India. Every bug, missing feature, and performance bottleneck was found and fixed in production before a single customer saw it.

2022

Proven at scale with Excitel

NetSense went live on Excitel’s network, delivering 29% faster issue resolution, 28% reduction in user downtime, and 20% leaner operations. It became the backbone of their NOC workflow.

2023

TR-069 ACS and CPE management

The platform expanded beyond OLT and PON monitoring to include full TR-069 ACS capabilities — zero-touch provisioning, remote diagnostics, bulk firmware updates, and WiFi telemetry for subscriber CPEs.

2024

1.4 million ONUs and growing

NetSense crossed 1.4 million monitored ONUs, 4,500 OLTs, and 500,000 managed CPEs — with support for 15+ OLT vendors and a growing customer base of fibre ISPs across India.

Built for the Underdogs

Better tools for the ISPs that outwork everyone else

The large telcos have armies of engineers and vendor-dedicated support teams. Independent fibre ISPs compete on agility, customer focus, and hustle — but they've been stuck with the same underwhelming NMS tools. NetSense was built to change that. One dashboard, every vendor, every device from the OLT to the subscriber's WiFi — so smaller teams can operate like the biggest ones.
