Cisco Broadband Access Center (Cisco BAC), Release 3.6.

Cisco Broadband Access Center, referred to as Cisco BAC through out this document, automates the 
tasks of provisioning and managing customer premises equipment (CPE) in a broadband service 
provider network. The product provides a simple and easy way to deploy high-speed data, voice 
technology, and home networking devices.

With the high-performance capabilities of Cisco BAC, you can scale the product to suit networks of 
virtually any size, even those with millions of CPE. It also offers high availability, made possible by the 
product’s distributed architecture and centralized management.

Cisco BAC supports provisioning and managing of CPE by using the Broadband Forum’s CPE WAN 
Management Protocol (CWMP), a standard defined in the TR-069 specification. Cisco BAC integrates 
the capabilities defined in TR-069 to increase operator efficiency and reduce network-management 
problems.

Cisco BAC supports devices based on the TR-069, TR-098, TR-104, and TR-106 standards. These 
devices include Ethernet and ADSL gateway devices, wireless gateways, VoIP ATAs, and other devices 
compliant with CWMP.

This release supports mass scale provisioning and managing of Femtocell Access Point (FAP) devices 
that function as a mini 3G cell tower in customer premises and backhaul via customer’s internet 
connection. For details about the features supported in Cisco BAC 3.6, see
