Applied AI  ·  Outage Customer Actions

Coordinate customer communications and service actions during outages.

Xect AI is an outage customer-actions agent: for a hub, terminal or F1 cut, or a planned maintenance window, it identifies the affected addresses, notifies the customers it can reach with an ETA when one is available, holds tickets confirmed related to the outage and defers the truck rolls that won't help, and issues credits when it's over, so an outage costs the network team the repair, not the call center.

Outage Customer Actions,
from every angle

From "we're aware of an outage" to reduced avoidable contact

Outage awareness today starts the moment a customer calls to report it, then propagates queue by queue until someone maps the ticket to a location. Xect AI's agents use incident and service-impact data to scope the fault or the feed event first, coordinate the customer update, the dispatch decision and the applicable credit calculation, and maintain a shared incident record, closing many incidents before that first call would come in.

 Today
The first sign of an outage is the call queue filling up, not a report on someone's desk
Maintenance windows go out by e-mail, if anyone sends them at all
A neighborhood power outage sends technicians out to homes that only lost commercial power
Credits get calculated by hand after the fact, then disputed for weeks
 With Xect AI
NOC alarms, maintenance tickets, utility outage feeds and ONT dying-gasp events all register in the same place the moment they happenEvents
The scoping, customer-actions and power-outage agents decide together who is affected and what to tell themAgents
Notifications, IVR and chatbot banners, ticket holds and dispatch deferrals all run in one flowFlows
Network faults get verified per ONT; power-related outages close when the utility confirms restoration. Credits get computed from measured downtime, and outage-reporting records get prepared for the compliance team's reviewGovernance
How it works

Cut to credit, in four moves

01 · Detect
02 · Scope
03 · Act
04 · Close
01

Detect

An alarm, a planned-maintenance ticket, a utility outage feed or a burst of ONT dying-gasp messages all land as the same kind of event. Any one of them is enough to open an incident and start the clock.

Event ListenerConnector
02

Scope

Hub, terminal or F1 topology translates directly into the list of affected addresses, with no manual lookup required. Each address carries its channel preference and its priority-account flag, so the notification and the escalation are already scoped.

LocationCustomer 360
03

Act

The agent notifies affected addresses with an ETA when the incident type and topology support one, updating it as new information arrives, and updates the IVR and chatbot banners. It holds tickets confirmed related to the outage for that address, apart from unrelated open faults, and defers the truck rolls that would only reach a known outage, while priority accounts get escalated for a direct call.

Notification RouterFlow
04

Close

Network faults are confirmed restored per ONT rather than assumed for the whole area; power-related outages close when the utility reports restoration. Credits get computed from each customer's actual downtime, and the incident then replays in the Process Miner so the next one runs faster.

The four agents that own the outage

Each agent owns one step in the cut-to-credit path above, whether the cause is a fiber cut or a neighborhood power outage.

What changes when the outage tells the customer first

Notification, not discovery

Minutes
from cut to notification

Topology scoping turns straight into the address list and the send, with no manual pull in between.

Informed dispatch decisions

Fewer
truck rolls to homes without power

The Power Outage Manager tells a commercial power loss from a network fault before a dispatch decision gets made.

Fewer calls per outage

Fewer
calls per outage

Customers who are notified see an ETA when one is available, often before they'd think to call in.

Traceable credit calculations

Per-ONT
restoration and credit accuracy

Downtime gets measured per device, not estimated for the whole neighborhood.

An outage should cost you the repair, not the call center.

The same response, five different outages

Fiber — Hub, Terminal, F1

A hub, terminal or F1 cut scopes to the addresses behind it, and the same notify-hold-credit flow runs end to end.

See the industry page

Cable & HFC

A node outage scopes to every address on that node, and the same agents notify, hold and credit them the same way.

Talk to us about cable & HFC

Fixed Wireless

A tower power loss scopes to every subscriber served from that tower, distinguished from a network fault the same way a dark house is.

Electric Utilities

The utility outage feed is the second half of the Power Outage Manager's correlation, confirming a dark house is commercial power, not the network.

Municipal Broadband

A municipal network runs the same cut-to-credit flow, sized for a network that answers to its residents directly.

Built for the people who own the outage, the truck and the record

NOC Director

Sees the outage the moment the network does

Owns detection and restoration, and needs every alarm, maintenance ticket and dying-gasp cluster to register as one incident instead of five separate alerts.

One incident view across alarms, feeds and gasp clusters
Scoping confirmed before a single truck rolls
Restoration verified per ONT, not assumed
Care Operations

Answers a call that shouldn't have happened

Owns the queue during an outage, and needs call volume to fall because customers already know, not because agents were told to read a script.

Notification goes out before the queue fills
IVR and chatbot carry the same outage story
Fewer calls to route, log and follow up on
Field Operations

Sends the truck where it's actually needed

Owns dispatch, and needs a truck rolled only when the fault is real, with priority accounts escalated ahead of the rest instead of lost in the same queue.

Truck rolls held for faults that actually need one
Priority accounts escalated automatically
Dispatch deferred until restoration confirms it's needed
Regulatory & Compliance

Answers the regulator with a record, not a guess

Owns outage reporting and credit-policy compliance, and needs restoration timing and credit calculations to hold up as evidence instead of being reconstructed after the fact.

Outage-reporting records prepared from the same data as the credit calculation, ready for the compliance team's review
Restoration timing verified per ONT for evidence
Credit policy applied consistently and logged for audit
