Abstract
Techniques described herein may be used to create and manage a network of customer premise equipment (CPE) devices (e.g., a CPE network). CPE devices may be rapidly initialized by integrating a process for initializing the CPE devices with a wireless network with a process for initializing the CPE devices with the CPE network. Configuration information for controlling the CPE devices may be managed and stored in a centralized location as machine-readable, computer-programming objects, which may be combined to provide a comprehensive view of the CPE network. Network services may be efficiently introduced into the CPE network and managed by creating virtual CPE devices that are associated with the CPE devices of the CPE network.
