The Axiros AXCAF PERFORMANCE PLUS Speed and Latency Test Program utilizes technology Axiros helped pioneer in the telecommunications industry, including its world renown Auto Configuration Serverand TR-069, reported to be utilized in over 1.1 billion devices around the world.  By deploying its own AXSPEED Test Servers at FCC-specified IXPs the Axiros program can perform efficient and regulatory compliant speed and latency tests per Federal Communications Commission (FCC) DA 18-710. FCC guidelines call for operators to collect and report comprehensive performance measures to verify compliance with funding requirements.

In addition to providing a complete performance measures program for CAF II recipients the Axiros AXCAF PERFORMANCE PLUS Speed and Latency Test is available to Alternative-Connect America Cost Model (A-CAM) and Alaska Plan fund recipients.

"When we meet with operators who provide valuable high speed internet service to the country's rural communities,"stated Henry Ortiz, Esq., Vice President at Axiros North America, Inc.,"it is clear they are dedicated to performing the necessary testing, but they need an end-to-end program based on real technology that is easy to use. The Axiros program is easy to implement and will allow our customers to comply with regulations without hiring a team of technicians and additional office staff.  Operators want to avoid being locked into a hardware vendor or forced to purchase unnecessary equipment. Our program offers all of these features."
