What is Preseem?

Preseem is a Proactive Access Network and Subscriber Management Platform for Regional ISPs, whether they are fixed wireless, fiber, or hybrid operator.


Growth
Preseem helps to uncover acquisition and upsell opportunities, deliver great customer experiences, and increase customer loyalty.


  • Customer Loyalty: Preseem helps subscribers to achieve a reliable, low-latency internet experience with no more buffering, lag, or slow-internet issues.

  • Identification of Upsell Opportunities: Preseem provides high-granularity subscriber traffic-based QoE measurements that can help identify customers who are regularly maxing out their plans. This means support teams can identify subscribers who are good candidates for a larger service plan.

  • Locating Revenue Growth Opportunities: With Preseem's AP Subscriber Capacity metrics, APs which are overloaded and which have room to add new customers are revealed. This takes the guesswork out of marketing and lets sales team focus by showing them exactly where the best new revenue opportunities are located.

Customer Support

Preseem helps reduce call volumes, prevent truck rolls, and drive faster support ticket resolutions.

  • Reduced Time-to-Root-Cause: Preseem’s QoE measurements are tied directly to the network topology, allowing support team members to swiftly identify if a problem is in-network (e.g. a poorly-performing AP) or specific to the subscriber (e.g. an issue with in-home Wi-Fi), and resolve issues faster.

  • Reduced Vendor Training Costs: AP and CPE Radio Metrics save on both support time and costs by reducing training and vendor-specific expertise requirements for support and network staff. They also provide a common interface that allows the team to answer questions and investigate customer problems without needing access to or learning specific vendor tools.

  • Reduced Support Call Volumes: Preseem provides visibility on each individual subscriber via high-granularity traffic-based QoE measurements. This helps improve customer engagement when they call the support line, as reps can understand what the customer is seeing and look at historical information to confirm.

Network Operations
Preseem, gives network operations teams simplified operations, eliminates integration complexity, and supports more accurate CAPEX investment decisions.


  • Maximizing Network Investments: Preseem's Quality of Experience measurements are tied directly to the network topology, allowing organizations to target CAPEX investment into areas that are delivering a poor experience. This helps users to invest in areas that will help customers, improve QoE, and enable growth. As well, Auto AP Capacity Management Shaping allows the delay of upgrades on access points while still delivering a good subscriber experience.

  • Mitigation of Congestion Issues: Congestion within a subscriber’s plan rate (or self-congestion) can contribute to a poor quality of experience. QoE Optimized Plan Enforcement helps eliminate common support issues before they begin.

  • Reduced Integration Complexity: With Preseem’s pre-built integrations, open APIs, and Automatic Access Network Discovery increase efficiency by requiring less provisioning information, making integrations easier, and reducing TCO.

  • Improved Subscriber QoE: Preseem’s QoE Optimized Plan Enforcement uses active queue management to deliver a reliable, low-latency experience to customers. This means subscribers won’t experience slow internet issues, even when multiple people in the home are online at the same time.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

QoE and Shaper that helps offer a great customer experience

Rating: 10 out of 10
October 31, 2022
We use Preseem for 3 main use cases. First is QoE, Quality of Experience, which allows us to see our overall network performance as well as individual Access Points. This helps show us if an AP is providing a good experience or if there's issues causing poor speeds and latency. After we are able to fix the problem, we use Preseem to verify improvements in speed/latency.

Second, we use Preseem for rate plan shaping using FQ_CODEL, which helps rate limit the customer speeds to the plan they're paying for while maintaining low latency. Instead of a sluggish experience while they max out their speeds, all applications still feel quick and without issues with VOIP or gaming.

Third, we have Preseem send usage data back to Azotel, our billing system, so we can monitor for abusive usage and handle data thresholds to provide fair usage to all customers.
  • Excellent web interface that shows all the relevant performance data
  • Great customer service
  • Fair pricing
  • Great rate plan shaping to maintain low latency
  • API integration with our billing systems and many others
For any ISP that wants to know the QoE their customers experience while using their service, Preseem is an excellent choice. The rate plan shaping also makes sure the connection feels fast, even if the speeds are being 100% utilized by the customer. This is not a DPI service though, so you can't classify or shape certain services over others. All traffic is treated fairly, and small flows are moved to the front of the queue to make sure interactive traffic like VOIP, DNS, and gaming is working well ahead of large downloads.

Is Preseem really what the sales team say it is?

We have been using Preseem now for a year. not that much, but enough to say something about it. The initial ordering and environment development on our side was a pain in the neck. we had to basically change our entire business structure to get it installed. at last, it was installed and the machine was switched on in the production network. So here is my experience: I got Preseem because of FQ-Codel (QoE). I can seriously say that I don't even know if it's working. clients still call and complain about QOE. I found 1 client that was watching Netflix while the son was playing PS2. it worked there. and the other clients, well, still complaining. there is just no way for me to know if FQ-Codel actually does something on the network or not. on the support side, Preseem is brilliant. I can dig deep to find a problem. however, it is impossible to see inside a client's network and make recommendations. so as a network support tool for data gathering, Preseem is the way to go. I can also check the condition of my towers, though some towers won't display is Preseem. If Preseem had a client portal, and the client could see their current bandwidth usage in real-time, like we at administration can, Preseem would be a game-changer, because that is the most common issue. (our internet is slow and buffering) because who knows if FQ-Codel actually does something. and then as we check their accounts, we see how they punch the line. we found a device, Amplify instant, that shows clients the same thing Preseem shows us in the admin portal. so if I sell that to all my clients, my headache is gone. but the client won't pay 2.5 grand for it. So, Preseem, how about adding a client portal hey? I truly can in an honest way tell why I have Preseem. the dashboard looks great though, and we can track data usage there, and that is about that I suppose. [...]
  • Data for support
  • Looks cool
  • can see problems on my network
Data for support No client portal to stop clients from freaking out on us when the client is punching their own line.

Preseem is used throughout our entire network. We use it to manage and shape all traffic within our network. The metrics that we derive from Preseem's interface help us to deeply troubleshoot data throughout issues that our end users may be experiencing. It allows us to rely on actual hard historical and current data. So often it is just so easy to blame the ISP for poor network performance when in reality it is often an internal issue. The data from Preseem allows us to show the end-user what is actually happening. It gives them greater confidence in us as a provider.
  • Graphical real time data of condition of our network.
  • Real-time data of network performance, network-wide, tower site-wide, sector-wide, and down to the subscriber level. Data that is both current and historical so we can see trends happening before a service-impacting issue arises.
  • The comparison of our network equipment performance compared to identical equipment that others have deployed throughout their entire customer base.
Well suited for ISP's and network managers. Not necessary for Betty's Hair Salon or Don's Muffler Shop.

Preseem Rocks!

Preseem is being used to control, monitor, and improve internet services to our fixed wireless customer base. It helps us control the speed of each client as well as improve QoE Quality of Experience to the end-user. Prior to having Preseem in our network, speed control was a nightmare and customers were always complaining of slow internet speeds. After Preseem was put in, those complaints have dropped to almost none. Preseem also gives us good tools to use to diagnose network issues and usage habits. It is a vital part of our network.
  • QoE
  • Speed control.
  • Usage monitoring.
The fixed wireless market and DSL are perfect opportunities for Preseem use. Not sure as speed increases that the issues of QoE are as needed. Fiber optics may not gain the benefits of slower technologies.

In short, it gives me peace of mind that my network is running smoothly and my customers are getting what they pay for. We use Preseem to shape our customer traffic and monitor the overall health of the network. It's a great tool to enforce your different speed tiers without sacrificing significant resources. Preseem is also an amazing tool to help with troubleshooting. You can identify if issues are AP, tower, or network-specific with an easy-to-use GUI that graphs all of the relevant data points for your network.
  • Shaping customer traffic to exactly the speeds you sell them.
  • Streamlining network maintenance/troubleshooting.
  • Easy to use GUI.
If you are running an ISP OR you are managing a private network (like a hotel) with specified speed tiers then you need Preseem.
