Assignment and/or installation of cable modem devices to be used with a hybrid fiber coaxial network part of a broadband access network

A telecommunications system, comprising:

• a specific cable modem device;
• an operations support system;
• and
• an access orchestrator entity;
• wherein the operations support system is configured to receive cable modem identification information of the specific cable modem device and infrastructure identification information of a specific coaxial infrastructure access point via a communication channel bypassing the specific coaxial infrastructure access point, wherein the specific cable modem device is to be used with a specific hybrid fiber coaxial network equipment and in connection with the specific coaxial infrastructure access point;
• wherein the access orchestrator entity is configured to receive the cable modem identification information, the infrastructure identification information, and line identification information to facilitate registration of the specific cable modem device with a broadband access network of telecommunications network;
• and
• wherein the specific cable modem device is configured, after registration of the specific cable modem device with the broadband access network, to perform or trigger attachment to the broadband access network using the specific coaxial infrastructure access point and the specific hybrid fiber coaxial network equipment.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:

• in a first step, cable modem identification information of a specific cable modem device and infrastructure identification information of a specific coaxial infrastructure access point is provided to an operations support system of a telecommunications network using a communication channel bypassing the specific coaxial infrastructure access point, wherein the specific cable modem device is to be used with a specific hybrid fiber coaxial network equipment and in connection with the specific coaxial infrastructure access point;
• in a second step, subsequent to the first step, the cable modem identification information, the infrastructure identification information, and line identification information are transmitted to an access orchestrator entity of the telecommunications network, wherein subsequent to the second step, the specific cable modem device is registered with a broadband access network of the telecommunications network;
• and
• in a third step, subsequent to the registration of the specific cable modem device with the broadband access network, the specific cable modem device performs or triggers attachment to the broadband access network using the specific coaxial infrastructure access point and the specific hybrid fiber coaxial network equipment.
