Iterative Billing
Iterative Billing is an ISP billing and network management platform for internet service providers, WISPs and WiFi hotspot operators, from a first hotspot to 9,378 customers on a single account. It automates billing, invoicing and collections through M-Pesa (Paybill, Till, STK Push), MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Flutterwave, Paystack, Pesapal and more, and activates or suspends service in seconds through a built-in RADIUS server with CoA. It manages MikroTik RouterOS v6 and v7 (onboarded over VPN, no public IP needed) and Huawei OLTs, and manages customer routers remotely over TR-069. Operators also get a NOC monitor, a network map, double-entry accounting with payroll and stock, KRA eTIMS-aligned invoicing, hotspot vouchers with branded captive portals, a shared WhatsApp inbox with an AI assistant, and AI agents that troubleshoot routers and reset customer WiFi. Operator apps for iOS and Android and a subscriber self-care app complete it. Pricing is usage-based and capped.

RouterOS
RouterOS is a standalone operating system based on the Linux kernel that powers MikroTik hardware devices and can also be installed on a PC to turn it into a router with all the necessary features. It is built for routing, firewall, bandwidth management, wireless access point use, backhaul links, hotspot gateways, VPN servers, and more. RouterOS supports secure home-office VPNs, parental control, complex firewall rules, IPsec hardware acceleration, VLANs, client user interface branding and modification, API, and TR-069 support for custom remote management and monitoring, and automatic email or SMS trigger notifications. Users can try RouterOS through demo addresses and connect by SSH, desktop or mobile apps, or a web browser to explore the system before deploying it. RouterOS can also run on an x86 machine by downloading the ISO image, booting from it, and testing all available features during the trial period.
