Carrier Control is an intelligent bandwidth management platform for businesses running Lumen Internet On-Demand circuits. Most networks are built for peak demand — and overpaid for the rest. Carrier Control lets you take control of your network by scheduling bandwidth changes and automating adjustments based on real-world conditions. KEY FEATURES: • Scheduled Bandwidth – Set weekly schedules to increase capacity during business hours and scale down automatically during off-hours, so you're never paying for peak capacity you don't need. • Outage-Driven Bandwidth – Automatically increase bandwidth on your backup circuit the moment your primary connection fails, keeping performance consistent without manual intervention. • Event Traffic Management – Temporarily scale bandwidth for events and seasonal demand spikes. • Standby Bandwidth for Failover – Maintain low-cost standby capacity that scales during outages. • Single Dashboard – Monitor activity, view schedule logs, and adjust settings anytime from one central location. Carrier Control connects securely to your Lumen portal and executes bandwidth changes automatically, so your team stays focused on what matters. Visit carriercontrol.io to learn more.
