The Broadband Forum is proud to announce significant
advancements in the remote management of broadband and Wi-Fi
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).
Version 1.4 of USP (User Services Platform / TR-369), version
Device:2.18 of the TR-181 data model, and version 1.3 of the
Broadband Forum USP certification program for USP Agents have all
been published, driving innovation and interoperability within the
broadband industry.
USP 1.4 supports secure, dynamic, and interoperable applications
on application-enabled service gateways. This enhancement enables
broadband and Wi-Fi CPE to be augmented with value-added
applications, offering unprecedented flexibility and security for
service providers and end-users.
“USP 1.4 is a milestone in our journey towards more secure and
dynamic broadband services," said John Blackford, Broadband Forum
Chairman and Work Area Co-Director for the Broadband User Services
Work Area. "This update ensures that service providers can deploy
new, value-added applications seamlessly, enhancing the customer
experience while maintaining the highest security standards."
Device 2.18 of the TR-181 data model represents the Broadband
Forum's continuous commitment to agile, community-driven updates.
This latest version supports managing a broader range of network
interfaces and applications, reflecting the industry's strong
interest in and adoption of TR-181.
"Device:2.18 showcases the collective effort and dedication of
our community," said Daniel Egger, Broadband Forum USP Data
Modeling Project Stream Leader and Principal Software Engineer at
Axiros. "The ability to manage more and varied network interfaces
and applications demonstrates the commitment to addressing the
evolving needs of the broadband industry."
Version 1.3 of the BBF.369 Certification Program introduces new
tests for advanced search expression use, trigger actions, and
more. This ensures that USP Agents are thoroughly tested and
certified to meet the latest standards, guaranteeing high
performance and reliability.
"Certification testing is crucial for ensuring the reliability
and performance of USP Agents," said Jason Walls, Work Area
Co-Director for the Broadband User Services Work Area at the
Broadband Forum and Director of Technical Marketing at QA Cafe.
"The new tests in version 1.3 of the USP certification program,
conducted using CDRouter, the official test platform, underscore
our commitment to rigorous, comprehensive validation
processes."
These advancements reinforce the Broadband Forum’s mission to
drive broadband innovation and excellence, ensuring that service
providers can deliver cutting-edge, secure, and interoperable
broadband services to their customers.
Vendors will be able to learn more and develop their solutions
with real-time feedback at the next USP Plugfest, to be held at the
University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory the week of
