Fibre ISP billing
with the OLT built in
Fibre is where independent ISPs grow into serious operators, and where the OLT console becomes the bottleneck. Iterative Billing drives Huawei GPON OLTs from the same platform that bills the customer: new ONUs are authorised without typing OLT commands, service follows payment, and every ONT can be managed over TR-069.

Why fibre operators outgrow the OLT console
The old way: Every new fibre customer waits for the one engineer who knows the OLT command line.
New ONUs are discovered and authorised from the dashboard, and the service is provisioned from the customer’s package.
The old way: Unpaid fibre customers stay online because suspending an ONU is manual.
Suspension and restoration follow the account: an expired customer is suspended and is back online automatically when payment arrives.
The old way: Weak fibre found only after the customer complains.
ONU and OLT receive power is synced for every customer, so a degrading link shows up before the call.

Questions operators ask
Which OLTs does Iterative Billing manage?
Huawei GPON OLTs, including the MA5608T, MA5683T, MA5800 and EA5800 series, over Telnet, SSH and SNMP.
Do I still need the OLT command line?
Not for day-to-day work. ONU discovery and authorisation, service provisioning, suspension and restoration run from the platform, tied to each customer’s billing status.
Can fibre customers be suspended and restored automatically?
Yes. When an account expires the service is suspended, and when payment arrives it is restored automatically.
How is a fibre network priced?
Fibre customers on PPPoE or Static IP count towards the per-customer meter: $0.135 a month outside Kenya, capped at $45 up to 500 customers. OLT management is an add-on at $10 per OLT a month, and TR-069 comes free on every ONU with it.
Can customers change their own WiFi password?
Yes. On TR-069 managed devices, customers change the WiFi name or password from the self-care app or portal and the platform pushes the change to their router or ONT.
