deployments ahead of industry summit
In the run up to the 2024 USP Summit in March, global broadband service providers say they have shortened the time-to-market for new broadband products and IoT services by deploying Broadband Forum’s open standard User Services Platform (USP).
Four service providers involved in last year’s roundtable have unlocked new revenue streams by introducing new architecture, integrations, and device management in under 18 months. The companies said that USP offers a more efficient and versatile solution for device communication and management, proving to be an attractive proposition for operators and device manufacturers alike.
Deutsche Telekom, Liberty Global, Telus, and Vodafone have all declared the value that USP delivers citing deployments, successes, and lessons learned. It has been hailed as an example of the importance of early standardization and industry collaboration between the likes of Broadband Forum, prpl Foundation, and RDK.
“USP delivers secure and agile device management, data collection, service orchestration, and mobile app integration,” Volker Effelsberg, Deutsche Telekom said. “The USP Summit and Plugfest presented a perfect opportunity to hear about the global progress from other service providers with further insights on USP architecture becoming a reality.”
The 2024 USP Summit and the BASe Technical Summit 2024 (formerly known as UFBB) will be held March 7-8, 2024, in Mainz, Germany. These events will be held in conjunction with Broadband Forum’s Spring 2024 quarterly meeting taking place at the same event space from March 4-7, 2024. More details and registration are available here.
USP helps broadband service providers deploy, implement, and manage all aspects of the smart home. The USP data model, architecture, and communications protocol enable devices from multiple vendors to connect to the Wi-Fi home gateway for the broadband service provider to manage.
