The use case library provides bite-sized inspiration on what can be done with the transformational power of DataMiner. As it is an invaluable collection of real-life applications by the DataMiner community, we want to give five of our most recently published use cases their moment in the spotlight.
This ready-made overview gives you an idea of the true value you can get out of the use case library. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Our full-length use cases go the extra mile with detailed descriptions and numerous images to fully immerse you in the material.

Fully automated end-to-end network configuration and service provisioning
In this use case, we focus on a suite of fully automated processes for the end-to-end provisioning and lifetime support of a network serving approximately 2.5 million subscribers using a DOCSIS distributed access architecture. Maximum security and increased availability are only two examples of benefits that come along with this setup.
Encoder Manager: channel input switching on multi-model encoders
Find out how DataMiner can help you easily switch the inputs of channels spread across different encoder models with just one click! As each encoder model has its own way of switching the channel input, manually identifying the correct encoder could seriously slow you down in emergency situations. However, with the Encoder Manager, this process can be completed in a matter of seconds!
