Data Sheet 
Cisco Prime Home 5.1 
The proliferation of Internet-connected devices and the explosion of video and data 
traffic are driving complexity in the home network. Increasing numbers of new devices 
need to be installed and provisioned, and multiple devices running multiple 
applications often create resource contention within the home. These factors trigger 
support calls and truck rolls for the service provider, and automating and simplifying 
management of customer premises equipment (CPE) in home networks has become 
mission-critical. 
This creates both challenges and opportunities for service providers. While they are looking for ways to lower 
operating expenses and improve customer satisfaction, they are also looking to quickly deliver new and 
differentiated services and drive new consumer revenue opportunities. Service providers face high new customer 
acquisition costs, and the increase in consumer choice for broadband (DSL, cable, 3G/4G, satellite, fiber, and 
WiMAX) and over-the-top services from nontraditional providers is driving intense competition for subscriber 
share-of-wallet. 
Product Overview 
Cisco Prime
 Home is a cloud-
based network management platform based on the Broadband Forum’s TR-069 
suite of protocols to provision and manage in-home devices. The solution discovers detailed information about all 
connected devices in the home and provides visibility for both service providers and subscribers through easy-to-
use web portals. The platform also includes a flexible applications engine that provides a means for the service 
provider to offer new, high-value consumer home network services. 
Features and Capabilities 
Cisco Prime Home provides visibility into the home network, reduces operational costs, and improves the 
subscriber experience. Powerful customer support tools, an intuitive consumer portal, and extensive reporting 
combine to make the home network easier to set up and support. 
●  Multidevice management: The TR-069-compliant autoconfiguration server provides management from the 
network to the gateway and into the home. While the gateway is becoming an increasingly important device 
and control point for service providers, TR-069 can reach beyond the gateway and provide management for 
IP set-top boxes, next-generation converged IP set-top boxes, Network Attached Storage (NAS), femtocells, 
IP phones, powerline adapters, IP cameras, and more. Cisco Prime Home provides deep operational 
visibility into these devices and the network behind them.
