BECS® Overview
With over two decades of experience in operational support systems, we have supported AltNets, operators and network owners in simplifying network management across multi-vendor infrastructures. From city networks to national fibre deployments, BECS enables structured automation, consistent governance and long-term scalability without locking you into restrictive ecosystems.
Do you want full control and freedom to grow without costly restructurings or operational bottlenecks?
Let us walk you through how BECS supports scalable orchestration built on best practice, flexibility and real operational needs.
Network Orchestration
Network Orchestration in complex network environments
As your network grows, different systems and separated processes can quickly create unnecessary friction. Instead of configuring each network element separately, network orchestration standardises workflows, automates processes and ensures consistent governance across the entire infrastructure, bringing structure to that complexity.
BECS® gives you control and vendor neutral network management
BECS Network Orchestration platform brings you even closer to full operational control. As hardware vendors, services and operational demands increase, complexity can lead to disruption and rising costs.
With BECS, vendor specific commands are translated into one consistent operational language. And through this unified control layer, you orchestrate automation, configuration and firmware management across multi-vendor environments with clarity and control.
Instead of reacting to complexity, you operate within a clear framework that supports scalable growth, consistent management and long-term flexibility without being locked into restrictive vendor ecosystems.
This is more than orchestration. It is vendor neutral, multi-vendor network control designed to give you clarity and confidence as your network evolves.
VPN Service Orchestration
With BECS you orchestrate the activation, modification and deactivation of VPN services in real time across Customer Edge, aggregation and Provider Edge layers. All required network devices are configured automatically, ensuring consistent end to end service delivery regardless of underlying hardware.
New VPN services are created and made available to your operational and business systems through structured interfaces. Whether you launch a new service or adjust an existing one, changes can be executed within minutes directly from your CRM environment. Even large scale updates affecting multiple customers remain controlled and predictable.
Intelligent Network Coordination
BECS maintains a complete and continuously updated view of your network topology, including devices, connections and allocated resources such as IP address pools, VLAN pools and routing details. Because the platform understands how these components relate to one another, it determines precisely what must be configured and where.
From the Provider Edge layer through aggregation and access down to Customer Edge devices, with Route Reflectors supporting the control plane, orchestration is executed as one coordinated process rather than a series of isolated actions.
You retain full operational control without having to manage each device individually.
BECS also maintains automated documentation of VPN services, allocated resources and network components, updated in real time. This reduces the risk of over or under invoicing, IP address conflicts, VLAN inconsistencies and unused but configured resources.

Network Automation
As your network grows in size and diversity, operational complexity follows. Frequent upgrades and expanding service demands can quickly make manual management difficult to sustain. Network automation helps you stay in control by standardising configuration, simplifying firmware management and supporting faster service activation throughout the network lifecycle.
By reducing manual intervention and bringing processes together, network automation lowers operational costs, improves reliability and supports steady, long-term network growth.
How BECS® supports Network Automation
Making network automation work in practice requires more than scripts or isolated tools. It requires a platform designed to bring structure and coordination across the entire environment.
BECS is built on a scalable architecture that supports automation across complex network environments. As your infrastructure expands and new devices are introduced, management becomes more demanding. BECS applies structured and repeatable workflows to automate configuration, service activation and firmware management, ensuring consistency and operational control as your network evolves.
Instead of managing each vendor or system separately, you work within a unified control framework. This helps reduce operational workload, strengthens clarity across teams and gives you the confidence to grow without losing control.
Real-time Configuration changes
BECS ensures that network devices always reflect the correct configuration when services are added, modified or removed. Outdated or unused configurations are automatically identified and corrected, reducing the risk of inconsistencies across the network.
Software Management
BECS helps you maintain the intended software versions across your network. You can define software policies for different parts of the infrastructure, ensuring that devices run approved and consistent firmware versions as your network evolves.
Zero-Touch Deployment
When supported by the hardware, new network devices can be introduced without manual pre-configuration. BECS automatically applies the appropriate configuration and software version, bringing devices into operational alignment with your defined policies.
Operational Control in Daily Operations
BECS provides real-time operational control across your network, from the core to customer-facing equipment.
Through structured automation, you can:
- Configure services end to end
- Manage large fleets of network devices
- Maintain continuous visibility of network resources
- Keep operational documentation automatically updated
Large scale updates affecting thousands of devices can be executed within minutes, with accuracy and consistency.
The result is a more reliable and scalable operational model, with reduced manual intervention and fewer configuration risks as your network grows.
Multi-vendor network hardware integration
Our Multi vendor Network Hardware Integration capability enables you to manage and orchestrate hardware from a wide range of vendors through a unified control layer.
Through an integration layer developed by PacketFront, vendor specific commands are translated into one consistent operational language. This allows you to manage diverse hardware environments from a single interface, without being restricted to formal vendor partnerships.
You gain flexibility, vendor neutrality and full orchestration control. The integration is designed around your operational needs, ensuring flexibility, long term scalability and freedom to choose the hardware that best fits your network strategy.
A Single Integration Point Between Your Systems and Network
BECS acts as a single integration point between your OSS/BSS systems and your network. By abstracting the complexity of the underlying hardware, automation increases while integration effort is reduced.
Instead of building and maintaining multiple integration paths, you work through one structured layer.
One Service Model Across Your Entire Network
BECS simplifies integration by creating a single service definition per service type across your entire network, regardless of vendor or technology.
When you introduce a new hardware vendor, your OSS layer does not need to change. Your service catalogue remains consistent, while the complexity is handled underneath.
That gives you freedom to evolve your network without constant system restructuring.
Open and Documented API for Seamless Integration
BECS is built on an open and well documented API, ensuring smooth integration with your existing OSS systems and external platforms.
The network is abstracted northbound through a service catalogue, so adding new services or vendors does not require structural changes in your business systems.
You can connect other systems easily through open APIs, while keeping your operational structure intact.
Vendor Modelling and Protocol Flexibility
The BECS Element Management framework allows BECS to communicate with any vendor using the required protocol, including CLI, SNMP, TR-069 or NETCONF.
Each element is modelled so BECS understands its native language. This enables structured automation without relying on formal vendor partnerships.
Support for major vendors is included, and new hardware can be modelled efficiently using built in tools.
Operational Intelligence Engine
The Intelligence Layer Behind Your Network Automation
What makes BECS different is not only what it automates, but how it understands your network. BECS structures and connects network elements, topology, resources and configuration into one coherent operational model. Instead of treating devices and services as isolated components, BECS understands how everything relates. That is what enables true end-to-end automation, across network deployment, service activation and ongoing resource management.
When you update a configuration, whether it concerns a specific element, a role, a geographical area or a service type, BECS determines exactly what needs to change. It works by comparing the desired state of your network with its actual state, ensuring that only the necessary changes are applied. The platform then moves from state “A” to “B” automatically, applying only what is required, where it is required.
Four Dimensions Working Together
- A network is defined by details.
- Which IP address is used where?
- Which element connects to which?
- What role does it have?
- What characteristics does a provisioned service include?
BECS® brings these four dimensions together:
- Resource Management
- Service Configuration
- Topology
- Device Configuration
By understanding how they relate, BECS turns complexity into structured automation.
Policy Enforcement Built In
Automation without governance creates risk. With BECS, operational rules are defined as network policy and enforced automatically.
When BECS connects to network elements it applies configuration according to your defined policies and highlights topology inconsistencies before they become operational problems.
You maintain control and the system ensures consistency.
Scalability & Architecture
BECS is designed to support networks of any size, from hundreds to millions of ports.
Its Core-Cell architecture enables distributed deployment and structured load balancing. BECS Core operates as the central intelligence, while one or several BECS Cells handle execution across geographically distributed environments.
This modular design allows your network to grow without compromising stability or performance.
The Core-Cell structure can be configured in High Availability mode, ensuring continued service delivery even in the unlikely event of hardware or software failure.
Together, the architecture and modular design meet the demands of carrier-grade operations, giving you the confidence to scale as your network evolves.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Seamless Network Growth through Mergers & Acquisitions
When your business grows through partnerships or acquisitions, your network should support that growth rather than complicate it.
BECS enables you to integrate new environments into your existing operational structure without costly restructuring or disruption.
You remain free to choose the hardware that fits your strategy and budget, while the automation and integration logic remain consistent across your network. As new infrastructure is incorporated, governance, service definitions and operational control stay intact, allowing you to scale with confidence and maintain a strong negotiation position.
What this means for you
- Full visibility and operational control across combined network environments
- Reduced integration complexity during consolidation
- Lower operational costs over time
- Less manual intervention and fewer configuration risks
- Greater flexibility in vendor negotiations
- More time to focus on strategic development and customer value
Integrations & Partnerships
BECS delivers even greater value within a connected ecosystem built on integration and long-term partnerships.
Through multi-vendor hardware integration and complementary software integrations, BECS connects diverse technologies within a structured and unified operational framework. The result is flexibility, vendor neutrality and scalable network control as your infrastructure evolves.
