Remediation

Rapid-response reflash, recovery, and reliability testing — deployed on-site at your facility or at ours. No round-trip shipping. No weeks of delay.

Most remediation vendors process units. We reduce the number of units that need to be processed in the first place.

If your volume isn't going down, remediation isn't working.

What we do

Core Service

On-Site CPE Firmware Reflash & Recovery

We mobilize at your DC or refurb center — or at our DFW facility — and contain firmware issues directly in your inventory. No round-trip, no delay. We scope the exposure, deploy a crew with fixtures, and get good units back into circulation fast.

Core Service

Reliability Testing & Hardware QA

Pre-deployment testing of CPE, STBs, and connected peripherals to catch compatibility, firmware, or defect issues before they reach a subscriber. Unit-level tracking with full audit-ready reporting.

Add-On

Accessory & Peripheral Compatibility Testing

Peripheral failures drive unnecessary truck rolls and repeat calls. We test compatibility against your active device SKUs before launch — eliminating an avoidable but often-overlooked source of field issues.

Add-On

CX & Hardware Quality Consulting

Bridge Product, Care, and Supply Chain. Translate noisy device data into decisions — identifying swap loops, NFF patterns, and firmware escape vectors quietly inflating your cost structure.


When to call us

The situations we're built for

Active Firmware Event

You have inventory in your DC with a known or suspected firmware issue, and standard remediation timelines won't work. We scope, deploy, and start producing good units in days.

Pre-Launch Device QA

New SKU going live. You want unit-level testing before subscriber deployment to confirm firmware integrity and peripheral compatibility — not sampling, full traceability.

Elevated NFF / Swap Rate

NFF returns are climbing and you're not sure if it's firmware, diagnostic, or device population. We identify the pattern and contain the exposure before it compounds.

Refurb Center Backlog

Your refurb operation is backed up and good units sit idle. We deploy into your center or process at our DFW facility.


Process

How an engagement works

01

Assess

Scope exposure — SKUs, volume, target turn time, facility logistics. We size the operation before committing to timelines.

02

Deploy

Mobilize crew, fixtures, and workflow at your DC — or receive inventory at our DFW facility. Typically operational within days of scoping.

03

Reflash & Verify

Zero-escape workflows. 100% unit-level scans at every step, log file tracking, pallet integrity maintained throughout.

04

Report

Live dashboards, daily counts, exception handling, and ETC updates. Full audit-ready reporting at close.
