Northstar Telecom, a leading ICT and telecom solutions provider, has partnered with HFCL to upgrade and standardise its broadband infrastructure across business and residential services.
Under the agreement, Northstar Telecom will standardise its Wi-Fi Access Point and switching infrastructure on the IO by HFCL portfolio. All new broadband connections—both business and residential—will be supported by IO by HFCL Access Points, with switching systems aligned to the same unified platform.
The standardisation will also extend to enterprise deployments, ensuring consistent network architecture across SME and large corporate environments.
As part of the initiative, Northstar Telecom will consolidate its access and switching layers under a carrier-grade unified architecture designed to enhance performance, improve service reliability, and support subscriber growth. The architecture will also enable centralised network visibility and management, simplify deployment and lifecycle operations, and strengthen segmentation with enterprise-grade security controls.
For its ISP operations, Northstar Telecom will use IO Canvas, HFCL’s AI-powered unified network management platform. The system allows operators to centrally configure, monitor, and manage Wi-Fi access points and switching infrastructure across business and residential broadband deployments.
IO Canvas supports deployment across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments, enabling Northstar Telecom to align its network management architecture with operational, regulatory, and compliance requirements.
The implementation represents a live operational deployment of HFCL’s IO Access Point and Switching portfolio within a regulated ISP and enterprise environment.
Tony Chacko, Operations Head at Northstar Telecom, said the move supports the company’s commitment to maintaining high performance, reliability, and service standards while building a unified and scalable network architecture for live service operations.
