The User Services Platform (USP/TR-369) standard is revolutionizing the way service providers manage and enhance home network devices (CPE). This video, filmed at Network X at the Broadband Forum Innovation Demonstrations booth, showcases how USP is enabling a new era of flexibility, innovation, and remote management.
Key Highlights from the Video:
- UNH-IOL’s Lincoln Lavoie provides an overview of the setup.
- Nokia’s David Valerdi explains how the combination of TR-369 and the TR-181 data model facilitates Wi-Fi management, application management, and device management.
- Incognito’s Ladi Astrab demonstrates how USP is used to provide a quality metric for Wi-Fi, as well as the process of downloading a cybersecurity/parental control application onto a residential gateway.
- Finally, Branimir Rajtar of 5×9 Networks discusses how USP’s containerized approach to applications allows for a quality-of-service probe to be installed onto a residential gateway.
Benefits of USP as seen in this demonstration:
- Remote Management and Updates: Service providers can remotely manage and update CPE devices, eliminating the need for physical intervention.
- Containerized Applications: USP enables the installation of containerized applications, such as Wi-Fi management, parental controls, traffic filtering, and cybersecurity, onto CPE devices. This empowers service providers to quickly and efficiently add value to their customers’ services without requiring truck rolls or firmware updates.
- Network Performance Monitoring: USP allows for the use of active probes that can be remotely deployed onto CPE devices. These probes provide valuable insights into network health and identify potential issues before they impact the customer experience. This proactive approach improves network reliability and reduces customer support costs.
USP – A Game Changer for Broadband Service Providers
USP is a game-changer in the realm of home network management. By enabling remote management, containerized applications, and network performance monitoring, USP empowers broadband service providers to deliver innovative services and enhance the overall customer experience.
