Deployment

Two ways to deploy

Pick the model that fits your network policy. Same features, same console, same subscription.

Recommended

Cloud (SaaS)

Hosted and operated by inext. Fastest start, automatic updates, geo-distributed access for your support team.

  • No infrastructure to maintain
  • Automatic platform upgrades
  • SLA-backed availability

On-premises

Runs inside your closed ISP network. Full data sovereignty for operators with strict regulatory or security requirements.

  • Deployed in your data center
  • Your data never leaves your network
  • Works behind NAT / closed networks

What's inside

Everything you need to run a fleet of STBs

  • Real-time telemetry

    Live status, uptime, last-seen and per-device health across the entire fleet.

  • Staged OTA firmware

    Roll out new firmware to a slice of the fleet, watch results, then expand.

  • TR-069 / CWMP

    ACS-based provisioning and management alongside Alcatraz workflows.

  • Push notifications

    Targeted launcher and toast messages with CTAs straight to the TV.

  • iPerf3 speed tests

    On-demand network bandwidth checks from the box itself.

  • Deep diagnostics

    Temperatures, memory, network and installed apps for any device — instantly.

  • Role-based access & REST API

    Scoped operator accounts and a documented API for automation.

  • Device groups & bulk config

    Segment the fleet by model, region or release ring and act in bulk.

Firmware management

Phased rollouts with safety rails

Schedule firmware releases for a slice of the fleet, gate updates with client-side confirmation and watch release statistics in real time. Exclude any device from automatic updates with a single toggle, or push a manual update when you need to.

  • Staged / phased rollout
  • Exclude from auto-updates per device
  • Manual firmware release
  • Client confirmation + release stats

Device inspector

Every detail about a device, on one screen

Open any STB in the fleet and see exactly what it's doing right now — uptime, last-seen, firmware version, temperatures, memory, network quality and the apps installed by the subscriber.

Remote control

A console of operator commands

Run any of the actions you'd normally need a field engineer for — from a reboot to a full factory reset — without ever touching the box.

  • Resolve common issues from the NOC — no field engineer dispatch.
  • Trigger on a single device or push to a whole group in one click.
  • Every action is logged with operator, device and timestamp.

  • Reboot
  • Virtual remote control

Push notifications

Talk to subscribers, on their TV

Send launcher banners and toast messages to any segment of your fleet — for service messages, content highlights or upgrade campaigns. Each message can carry a CTA that opens an app or page.

  • Launcher and toast styles
  • Target by device group, model or region
  • CTAs that deep-link into an app
  • Views, clicks and CTR for every message
API documentation

TR-069 + REST API

Integrates with the rest of your stack

Use the documented REST API to wire Alcatraz into your BSS / OSS — automate provisioning, sync subscriber metadata, or pull telemetry into your own dashboards. Full TR-069 / CWMP support lets you keep using your existing ACS in parallel.

  • Documented REST API
  • TR-069 / CWMP for ACS-based flows
  • MQTT messaging for fleet communication

Subscription

Pay only for active devices

Alcatraz DMS is a per-device subscription, tailored to your fleet size and deployment model — get in touch for a quote.

Per active device

You're billed only for STBs that are online and in service. Devices that aren't live yet cost nothing — activate and deactivate as your fleet changes.
