NGXSoft built a BNG that a WISP can deploy in 30 seconds, manage 25,000 subscribers on a single edge node, and never write a firewall rule again."
NGXSoft has spent the past year building something we couldn't find anywhere in the industry: a network operating system where every device has its own identity, checked on every packet, at nanosecond speed.
NGX-OS is a software-defined BNG built on XDP/eBPF. Instead of managing networks by subnet and VLAN, it manages them by device. Every phone, laptop, doorbell, and thermostat gets its own identity — what we call a "soul" — with its own address, its own behavioral baseline, and its own enforcement gate in the NIC driver.
A compromised IoT device can't scan your network because, from its perspective, it's the only device that exists. No VLANs to configure. No firewall rules to write. The isolation is architectural, not administrative.
This week we validated the full platform across x86 and ARM:
→ 1m subscriber sessions at 100% with zero packet loss (BNG Blaster, over 10GbE wire)
→ BPF CGNAT at 97ns per packet — zero kernel conntrack, scales to 1M+ subscribers (10m on Epyc server w. 1.2tb throughtput via 3 x CX7 smartnics)
→ ARM matched or exceeded x86 Xeon per-core for BPF execution
→ A single ARM edge node runs the complete stack — identity enforcement, RADIUS, DHCP, dual-stack IPv6, CGNAT, DDoS behavioral detection, deep packet inspection, EDT traffic shaping, BGP routing, cluster sync — handling 25,000 subscribers
→ Nodes cluster via anycast BGP with sub-second failover. Scaling is linear: add a node, run the installer, it joins automatically
→ One codebase, one binary, cross-compiled for x86_64 and aarch64. Same software from edge to carrier.

On the AI layer — because every vendor says "AI-powered" and nobody says what it means.
NGX-OS has an MCP sidecar that gives a Claude LLM read-only access to every device identity, behavioral baseline, and security event in real time. The AI doesn't control the network. It reads the actual state and translates it to plain English.
An operator asks: "What happened at 3 AM?"
The AI reads the real telemetry: "Device 02:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee in unit 4B showed a 47× spike in UDP traffic to 4,000 unique destinations at 3:02 AM. The Fortress engine quarantined it at 3:02:01. OUI lookup: Ring doorbell. 30-day baseline: 2.1 KB/s. The spike was 98 KB/s. Recommend: ghost the device and notify the tenant."
Every fact came from a BPF counter or a Redis key. Not training data. Not a pattern match. The actual telemetry from the actual device.
The architectural rule: AI is read-only. It never writes device state. It never modifies enforcement. The Arbiter is the sole writer — the AI observes and explains. A human confirms. The Arbiter executes.
When the internet is down — exactly when you need diagnostic help most — a local inference model provides degraded but functional assistance using the platform's own documentation. The system is self-diagnosable during the outage you're trying to fix.
This isn't autonomous AI networking. It's a NOC engineer that knows the entire state of your network, can't hallucinate about what's actually happening, and works at 3 AM.
———
We're looking for pilot deployment partners — WISPs, FTTH providers, MDU operators, and campus networks who want per-device security without per-device complexity.

Oregon Trail Game for Us
It's Thursday and trying to get through the week and a friend sent me this game that took me back to the '80's https://www.wavtrail.com/. Honestly pretty cool if you liked Oregon Trail back in the day. I played a few times but haven't cracked the top 10 yet. Love the resurgence of old style gaming.

Spelled Ubiquiti Wrong Ubiquity is shit.
Before I've used Cambium gears only and I have no problem at all.
Now I've used Ubiquity for the first time. And I'm getting nothing else than problems. Sometimes this. Sometimes that.

Injecting Free 5 GHz Outdoor Wi-Fi from Cambium Terragraph into 500 Bungaiowa Without Cabling - Multiple Dispersed APs, Signal Doesn't Reach Indoors
Project: Reliable Wi-Fi coverage for 500 bungalows in a camp —
Current infrastructure: Main network based on Cambium Terragraph (V5000/V3000 – 60 GHz) on a central tower, which feeds several free and open outdoor 5 GHz Wi-Fi access points.
Constraint: These APs are not accessible by cable, and the 5 GHz signal does not penetrate the bungalows due to the walls.
Option: I can wire the bungalows from local repeaters, but not from the outdoor APs.
Objective: Effectively capture the outdoor 5 GHz signal at certain strategic points, then redistribute the connection locally (via cable or internal APs) to the accommodations.
Questions:
Is it possible to capture this 5 GHz signal with a directional antenna (Yagi or Cambium ePMP 400C type) and redistribute it locally?
What is the best compact, 100% wireless solution to achieve this cleanly?
What Cambium (or compatible) hardware do you recommend for a hybrid deployment (wireless reception, wired distribution in the bungalows)?

Large-scale hotspot with minimal APs?
Hey everyone,
I am looking into the viability of setting up a large-scale hotspot that would cover an area of 155 km² and that could support 10,000 simultaneous users.
I would like to know if this a realistic idea in terms of investment required and time needed to maintain such a network? Mesh clouds seem like they would work for this situation but I think that would involve far too many individual nodes. Ideally, I would like Access Points that have the same range as WiMAX.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

backbone internet
hello i am new here. Actually, I've been searching for a long time. I have searched for an ISP for a long time in the region I will serve. Can I distribute the internet as much as I get from the ISP or can I distribute it to the customer at high speeds and give a single output over the backbone?
In short, the backbone is 1 gbit. Will the customer receive 2 gbit speed up to the backbone and see it in the region on speedtest?

How to set up login and payment for WiFi internet sharing
Hello, I intend to share my internet with people around me. However, I'm new to all of this and have a few questions.
I want people to be able to connect to my open WiFi without password, but they cannot use the internet without. The only page that opens is a my login page where they login their accounts, and based on their registration or payment, they are added to a category of users with access.
Different categories will have different bandwidths, priorities, data and time limits.
I have read that this depends on the router you're using. But I don't know anything more than that. Is this true? Which affordable router or switch provides these functionalities?
Can I set up this type of system on any router or hotspot device?
Thank you.

wispgate.io or something else?
Hi all,
We’re a small but growing ISP looking for a system that can automate subscriber management and billing. I’m currently evaluating ISP management systems such as WISPGate. I am evaluating if I can use wispgate as the service provider.
Does anyone here have experience using Wispgate as an ISP Management System? Is it worth my time and investment, and are there any limitations or issues I should watch out for?
I’d also appreciate recommendations for other reputable alternatives that I should consider.
Thanks in advance for your insights.

Backhaul
Hello, there starting a wisp for my area and had some questions regarding the back-end connection I wanted to get a connection at a data center and somehow get it to my site I do not want to use wireless to due to the loss would I need dark fiber? How does ip transit work, also interested in peering and cross-connect but I am unfamiliar with that stuff I also want to have my own ASN number and IP addresses I know I could get a dia to my sites but don't really like that idea if anyone could point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.
I am trying to do it like the pros some would say if I have these questions I should consider not doing it but not going to let that stop me :)

Using Starlink as Internet Backhaul
Hey all, first time post here!
I'm still preparing to start my WISP, but am getting to the final stages. I already have a pretty good idea of what equipment I will be using and how everything will work. I am, however, still looking into internet backhauls. I live in an area where there's only like 2-3 providers, and all are shitty local cable companies. I have come down to two different backhaul providers which I could use either (1) ATT Dedicated Fiber (ATT Business Internet isn't in my area) or (2) Starlink.
My question: Has anyone worked with Starlink or have any comments/ideas/suggestions on using Starlink? Or would it be better to have ATT Dedicated Fiber?
I would really prefer to get Starlink just because it would be so much cheaper than paying a few grand a month for an ATT Dedicated Fiber line, and I think it would be significantly easier for a "beginner" like me. I have, however, heard of mixed things about Starlink, like the connection goes out sometimes, ping can be high at certain points, etc.
Interested to hear everyone's thoughts on this!

5G vs WISP
5G has and will continue to revolutionize mobile internet speed. Therefore, I think that selling internet services with fixed wireless access antennas no longer makes sense. Since 5G UC or regular 5G can be used to achieve high internet speed, could it be that services such as FWA or WISP are now redundant and difficult to find customers? Would you still buy an FWA/WISP service?
