SOLUTION – The Friendly UDM Support Portal: A Gateway to Better Service
With Friendly Technologies’ TR-069/TR-369-based Unified Device Management Platform, Orange Mali deployed a powerful Support Portal that allowed real-time remote diagnostics and proactive resolution of issues—without the need to roll a truck.

- Home Score and Device Health indicators
- Visual dashboards for agents: topology maps, signal strength, mesh status
- Automated alerts for device or network anomalies

IMPACT – Faster Support, Happier Users, New Possibilities
For the end-user, the change is tangible:
