Product Acu-boot™ · Automated reboot device Product Brief · 2026

Reboot the router. Without the truck roll.

Acu-boot™ is Acuative's automated managed-service reboot device for modems, routers, and switches. It uses 4G/LTE for out-of-band management with no on-site configuration, picks the best carrier per location, and is controlled from a cloud-based platform — so a frozen edge device is a remote click instead of a dispatch.

Why Acu-boot™
No more "have you tried turning it off and on?"
AcuBoot automated network reboot device
Truck-roll avoidance
A reboot in seconds, not hours

A frozen device doesn’t need a full dispatch.

When an edge router or modem hangs, the fix is usually a power cycle — but if your network is down, the device can't be reached the usual way. Acu-boot™ keeps a separate, always-on 4G/LTE management link so an engineer in the NOC can reboot the device in seconds. No dispatch. No store closure. No call to a manager.

Designed to work when your network doesn't.

Acu-boot™ is purpose-built for the moment your primary connectivity has failed. Every feature exists to make recovery possible from outside the broken path.

Cellular antenna
01 · Out-of-band link

4G/LTE for management

The management plane runs on a separate cellular path — independent of your LAN/WAN — so it stays reachable even when primary connectivity is down.

02 · Plug-and-play

Zero on-site configuration

Ship it, plug it, walk away. The device phones home, gets its config, and is ready for the NOC to control.

No truck roll setup
Cloud portal dashboard
03 · Cloud control

Easy-to-use management portal

One web interface to see device status across every site, schedule reboots, and trigger emergency power cycles.

04 · Carrier-smart

Dynamic carrier selection

The device picks the strongest available carrier for each location automatically — so coverage is robust regardless of where the site is.

Multi-carrier
Closed store after hours
05 · After-hours

Operates while the site is closed

Schedule reboots after-hours, or trigger them remotely overnight — no need for someone on site, no impact to the next business day.

24/7 reachable
Where It Pays Off
High-volume, multi-site environments

Pays for itself in truck rolls avoided.

With average field service first-time-fix rates around 75%, roughly 1 in 4 service calls can require another visit. At an average $200–$300 per additional truck roll, those repeat visits can quickly add up across hundreds or thousands of locations.

AcuBoot™ helps prevent avoidable dispatches by remotely power-cycling unresponsive network equipment—keeping locations connected without waiting for a technician to arrive.

How It's Deployed
Plug, phone home, take control

Plug it in. That's the install.

Acu-boot™ ships with its config baked in. Site staff plug it into power and the device handles the rest — it registers with the cloud portal, locks onto the strongest cellular carrier, and is ready for the Acuative NOC or your team to issue commands. No technician required for setup.

Reboot the device, whoever made it

Pairs with the gear you already own.

Acu-boot™ doesn't care who made your router or modem. If it has a power input, it can be remotely cycled — and if it's managed by Acuative, it's monitored too.
