INTEGRATIONS

Built to fit your workflow

Splynx connects with the tools your team already runs — from network management (MikroTik, Ubiquiti, netElastic) to accounting (NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks). No middleware, no manual exports.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Splynx gives teams more tools to get work done.

This is how ISP management system should work

Manage every CPE without a truck.

VISP has no TR-069/ACS support — not built-in, not as an add-on, not at all. When a customer's router needs a firmware update or a config change, someone drives there.

Splynx's built-in TR-069/ACS auto-configures any standards-compliant CPE on first connection, pushes firmware updates in batch, and lets customers reboot their own routers from the portal. Your techs deploy hardware. The platform handles everything after.

Own your RADIUS. Don't rent it.

VISP's HyperRADIUS is fully managed and hosted by VISP — your entire subscriber authentication runs on infrastructure you don't control and can't self-host.

Splynx ships with a native RADIUS server that lives on your infrastructure: PPPoE, IPoE, MAC auth, hotspot, IPv6 prefix delegation, and RADIUS failover — all under your operational control. When billing status changes, RADIUS state
changes instantly. No API call to a third party. No dependency.

Deploy on your terms.

VISP is cloud-only — your subscriber data, billing records, and network configs live entirely on VISP's infrastructure with no option to self-host.

Splynx gives you the choice: managed cloud or full on-premise deployment on your own Linux server. For ISPs with data sovereignty requirements, regulatory constraints, or simply a preference for infrastructure they control, cloud-only is a dealbreaker. Splynx makes it a non-issue.

How a Leading US WISP Outgrew Its In-House OSS and Transformed Operations with Splynx

“Before, it was, “We’ll call you back once we know what’s happening.” Now it’s, ” Here’s what happened, here’s how we’re fixing it.” That’s a huge difference.”

“Customization and having input in the global development of Splynx as a whole is the area we value most.” →

“There are some brands that I know were OSS/BSS integration costs in hundreds of thousands of pounds and that’s where Splynx comes in; it wipes the floor clean. It’s a very simple platform to integrate.” →

“Before Splynx, a 10-minute call with a customer to sign up used to take more than 20 minutes, plus extra work at the back end.” →

Is Splynx better than VISP for WISPs?

Splynx offers more documented features, transparent pricing, a 15-day free trial, and broader integration support. VISP's advantage is primarily its US WISP community presence.
