Introducing Axon

See Your Network.
Control Your Network.
From Anywhere.

Axon is a cloud-native network management platform that gives you complete visibility and control over your network traffic — from a single dashboard, anywhere in the world.

Intelligent Network Management

AI-Powered Traffic Classification

Where Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) fails, our AI identifies applications on your network in real-time. No custom rules, no manual configuration.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

New devices are automatically discovered and registered with Axon. Deploy network infrastructure anywhere and configure it from your desk.

Intelligent Traffic Control

Prioritize critical applications and rate-limit bandwidth hogs. With dynamic rulesets you can configure bespoke policies for your specific use cases.

One Dashboard. Every Location.

Manage dozens or hundreds of sites from one dashboard. Axon provides real-time visibility into every device, application, and connection across your entire network — whether you have one location or one hundred.

Network management is broken.

Managing multi-site networks today means juggling fragmented tools, expensive proprietary hardware, and vendors who profit from lock-in. You need one system for monitoring, another for control, and a third for analytics. Each requires specialized training. None of them talk to each other.

The result: poor visibility, slow response times, and ballooning costs — especially as you scale.

Complexity

Traditional systems were designed for certified engineers, not the people who actually operate networks day-to-day.

Cost

Proprietary hardware is expensive and inflexible. It was designed to keep you locked in, not to help you scale.

Fragmentation

One tool for monitoring. Another for control. A third for analytics. Nothing is unified.

We flipped this model entirely.

One platform. Complete visibility. Total control.

Axon is a cloud-native platform that unifies monitoring, traffic control, and analytics into a single dashboard. It runs on commodity hardware — including devices as affordable as a Raspberry Pi — and uses AI to classify and manage encrypted traffic without expensive deep-packet inspection appliances.

Cloud-Managed, Offline-Resilient

Manage hundreds of sites from anywhere. If internet drops at a site, the network keeps running. Axon syncs when connectivity returns.

Hardware-Agnostic

Works with your existing networking equipment — routers, switches, access points — regardless of manufacturer. No rip-and-replace. No vendor lock-in.

Conversational Network Management

Our integrated AI assistant lets operators ask questions and issue commands in plain language. No CLI. No training required.

Open-Source Core

Built on open standards including Open vSwitch. Trust is earned, not locked in. Enterprise features through tiered subscriptions.

Don't take our word for it. Look at the data.

We deployed a single low-cost device at the backbone of a multi-site network spanning 20 square kilometers. Within 24 hours, the operator had visibility they'd never had before.

Bandwidth recovered — background system updates were consuming network capacity during peak hours. Discovered and resolved within 24 hours.

That operator is now deploying Axon across additional large-scale networks. This isn't a pilot — it's becoming their operational standard.

Proven in production. Scaling globally.

We built Axon for the most demanding environments — where every dollar matters and downtime isn't an option. It turns out, operators everywhere want the same thing: easier management, better visibility, lower costs.

Our strength is that we've physically deployed these networks. We know where they break because we've been there when it happens.

Advanced networking, radically simplified.

Whether you manage one site or a thousand, Axon gives you the visibility and control you need — without the enterprise price tag.
