A CPE device may include a plurality of CPE modules implemented in hardware. The plurality of CPE modules may include a first module and a second module. The first module and the second module may be arrangeable in a stacked configuration. The first module may include a first interconnection interface component disposed on a top surface of the first module. The second module may include a second interconnection interface component disposed on a bottom surface of the second module. The second interconnection interface component may be configured to complementarily couple to the first interconnection interface component when the first module and the second module are arranged in the stacked configuration.

Systems and methods for modular in-premises equipment

A system may include a management platform. The system may include a master system hosted by a first subscriber device that is communicatively coupled to the management platform over an external network. The system may include an agent system hosted by a second subscriber device that is communicatively coupled to the first subscriber device, and to an end-user device, over a WLAN. The agent system may be configured to cause the second subscriber device to output information regarding the end-user device. The management platform may be configured to cause one or more processors, of the management platform, to identify, based on the information, an insufficiency in network resource capacity, associated with the WLAN, for the end-user device, and provide one or more commands to the master system to cause the master system to perform an action to address the insufficiency.

Systems and methods for hybrid management of an in-premises network

A connector assembly may include an umbrella jack to be installed via a hole within a wall of a customer premises. The umbrella jack may include an adapter housing, a cap connected to the adapter housing, and an umbrella support connected to the adapter housing and configured to engage an interior surface of the wall. The connector assembly may include a conduit access port to receive the umbrella jack. The conduit access port may include a first opening to receive the umbrella jack and a second opening to attach to the cap of the umbrella jack. The connector assembly may include an outer tube having a third opening to receive the umbrella jack and the conduit access port and may be configured to be provided in the hole within the wall from an exterior of the wall.

Connector assembly installable from an exterior of a customer premises

A CPE device may include a communication component that is configured to communicatively couple to a network provided by a network service provider. The network may include a management platform for facilitating deployment of updates, or facilitating provisioning of services and deployment of service applications corresponding to the services. The CPE device may host a containerized system that includes an operating system, and a plurality of containers configured to share resources of the operating system. Each container, of the plurality of containers, may be configured to contain a respective service application. The operating system may be configured to communicate with the management platform to coordinate receiving of particular updates for the containerized system or the CPE device, or to coordinate provisioning of particular services, and deployment of particular service applications corresponding to the particular services, to the CPE device.

Containerized systems and methods for customer premises equipment

A network device receives, from a user device, a data packet on a first wireless channel between the user device and the network device. The network device processes the data packet based on receiving the data packet, and transmits the processed data packet to a second network device on a second wireless channel between the network device and the second network device. The network device, the second network device, and the user device are included in a local network. The first network device and the second network device are communicatively connected via a wireless full-duplex link that includes the second wireless channel and a third wireless channel. The first wireless channel, the second wireless channel, and the third wireless channel are different wireless channels.

Systems and methods for wireless backhaul in a local network

A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to determine a service requirement for a client device connected to a WiFi access point in a customer premises network that includes a plurality of WiFi access points. The processor may be further configured to monitor a service requirement parameter, associated with the determined service requirement, for the client device; detect that the service requirement parameter is within a threshold of the determined service requirement; and perform a self-organizing network (SON) action on the customer premises network, in response to detecting that the service requirement parameter is within the threshold of the determined service requirement.
