We're happy to announce that Preseem now supports ZTE OLTs! 

This integration eliminates a major operational pain point for regional ISPs running multi-vendor fiber networks, and reinforces the Preseem platform's core promise—choose the equipment that's right for your deployment without operational penalties.

This release delivers complete topology support for ZTE OLTs, including:

• Automatic ONT discovery and inventory
• Real-time OLT and ONT status monitoring
• Offline reason diagnostics for disconnected ONTs
• Service-to-ONT mapping
• Complete network topology visualization

Support teams can now troubleshoot subscriber issues across their entire network from a single interface, whether customers are served by ZTE equipment or other OLT vendors—no more context switching between vendor-specific tools.

View the list of all of Preseem’s supported OLTs here.

Preseem administrators can now control where links from billing systems and CRMs direct users within the platform.

Starting January 12, 2026, these inbound links will automatically route to the Services view by default, providing comprehensive subscriber context including hardware details, connection status, and troubleshooting tools across all access technologies.

What This Means for You:

If you follow links from external systems to investigate subscriber issues, you'll gain immediate access to complete network visibility in the Services view—reducing the need to search across multiple systems.

Your administrator can configure this behavior at any time in Settings > User Interface > Inbound Subscriber Link Target. All users can view this setting, though only administrators can change it.

P.S. Have you filled out our ISP Network Report survey yet? Please add your insights as we compile data for our annual operator benchmarks. 

For Preseem's upcoming annual ISP Network Report, we’ve created a survey on Network Performance and Customer Experience.

We want to hear from you about your network and support operations, subscriber quality of experience, multiple vendor system usage, and more. We’ll then compile this data (anonymously) to deliver updated insights and industry benchmarks in this year's report. 

The survey should only take about 5 minutes to complete. Make sure your voice is heard—fill out the survey today!

Preseem now provides complete ONT Offline Reason visibility across all supported OLT vendors, eliminating support team blind spots and ensuring consistent troubleshooting capabilities regardless of network infrastructure.

This enhancement extends our existing Offline Reason functionality to Adtran SDX, Adtran TA5000, and Ubiquiti platforms, completing coverage that previously existed only for BDCOM, Calix EXA, and Calix AXOS equipment. 

Support agents can now diagnose fiber connectivity issues with the same level of detail across the entire network, reducing call resolution times and unnecessary truck rolls, while reinforcing Preseem's core value of vendor-agnostic network operations.

The ONT Offline Reason feature is designed for use by:

• Regional ISPs with Multi-Vendor Networks: Operating Adtran SDX, Adtran TA5000, or Ubiquiti OLTs alongside existing BDCOM/Calix infrastructure
• Customer Support Teams: Who need consistent diagnostic capabilities regardless of which OLT vendor serves a subscriber
• Network Operations Teams: Who want to reduce escalations from support and focus on higher-value network optimization tasks

Key Benefits

• Faster Issue Resolution: Support agents immediately see Offline Reasons across all fiber infrastructure, reducing average call times
• Reduced Truck Rolls: Better remote diagnosis eliminates unnecessary field visits for power and connectivity issues
• Consistent Customer Experience: Every subscriber receives the same quality troubleshooting regardless of network infrastructure
• Operational Efficiency: Single interface eliminates the need to access multiple vendor platforms during support calls
• Vendor Independence: ISPs can confidently choose optimal OLT technology for each deployment without support limitations

Preseem now displays the last known Primary SSID in the Access Point status card on AP and CPE detail views, giving your team immediate visibility into the wireless network name associated with each AP. This information appears in the status and diagnostics card, where available, helping you verify configuration details without leaving Preseem.

When you replace AP hardware, the Primary SSID helps you quickly confirm the correct network configuration, reducing errors that lead to costly truck rolls. For field installers setting up new CPE radios, this visibility ensures they connect equipment to the correct Access Point, even when AP names and SSID names differ.

By surfacing this critical configuration detail directly in Preseem, we continue building the complete platform your teams need to operate efficiently across your multi-vendor network. Access Point SSID information is one more piece of context that helps Network Operations, Customer Support, and field installers make confident decisions without juggling multiple systems or relying on incomplete records.

Enhanced Guidance for AP Capacity Management

We have updated our documentation with improved recommendations for managing capacity across your access network. The enhanced guidance helps you allocate resources more effectively, whether using flex or fixed framing, and understand fully automatic or manual strategies to optimize subscriber experience.

This update is part of our ongoing work to help Network Operations teams operate proactively to improve the customer Quality of Experience. To align with this direction, we have also renamed the legacy user interface term AP Shapers to AP Capacity Management throughout the interface, clearing the way for future enhancements.

If you have Network Operations (Operate) permissions in Preseem, you may review your current AP Capacity Management settings.
