AEX Software
AEX Software is a division of AEX Inc., formed after AEX acquired Field Squared in 2025. The company now offers two connected products. AEX One is the OSS and BSS foundation used by open access and closed access broadband networks across the United States, covering service qualification, provisioning, activation, and billing. AEX Field Squared is the field service management platform used by fiber installers, utility crews, oil and gas teams, construction firms, and other field intensive operations. The two products run as one system for fiber operators who want the full lifecycle from serviceable address to active subscriber, and Field Squared continues to stand alone for teams that only need field operations.
What sets the platform apart
Most OSS/BSS systems hand off to a separate field tool the moment a job leaves the office, which is where delays, repeat visits, and billing lag tend to creep in. AEX keeps field execution and back office operations on the same data model, so a technician marking a job complete in Field Squared triggers provisioning in AEX One, runs a service verification check, and starts the billing clock before leaving the premises. That same visit activation model is the single biggest operational shift most fiber operators see after moving to the platform.
The provisioning layer is hardware agnostic. Operators running mixed environments with Calix, Adtran, Nokia, or Ciena provision from one system. GPON and fixed wireless deployments run through the same activation engine, which matters for operators expanding coverage across different network types or absorbing networks through acquisition.
Who it fits
Fiber and broadband operators at any stage of growth, whether that means a small greenfield team running its first installs, an established ISP consolidating away from a patchwork of legacy tools, or a multi-state operator scaling across regions. Open access wholesalers managing multiple retail partners run on the same platform. Outside of fiber, Field Squared serves utilities, energy companies, construction firms, and infrastructure service teams that need scheduling, dispatch, mobile workflows, and asset tracking without the OSS/BSS layer.
Deployment is modular. Teams can start with the capability they need most, usually field service management or activation workflows, and add the rest over time. Hosted and self hosted options are both available, and the platform integrates with existing OSS, billing, and network systems rather than requiring a rip and replace.
The underlying pattern is that sales, field, network, and revenue data stay connected across every step, so decisions about where to build next, which jobs to dispatch first, and which customers are ready for upsell come from one source of truth.
