Broadband Forum celebrates 20 years of TR-69 standard and industry innovation
In this episode of the Broadband Pulse podcast, we talked to we talked with two key members of the Broadband Forum:
· Craig Thomas, CEO of Broadband Forum
And
· Jason Walls, director of technical marketing QA Café
Last year, the Broadband Forum celebrated a key milestone: the twentieth anniversary of the TR-069 standard. Introduced in 2004, TR-069, known as CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP), provided service providers with an interface for the remote configuration and management of user devices.
TR-069 has streamlined service provisioning and reduced operational expenditures for ISPs.
Now, TR-369/User Services Platform (USP), which builds on the TR-069 blueprint, has become the new device management standard for service providers.
A joint Broadband Forum and Omdia survey found that Broadband Service Providers (BSPs) are overwhelmingly planning (97%) to move to Broadband Forum’s User Services Platform (USP/TR-369) standard to introduce AI, Wi-Fi sensing, L4S, and more into their home broadband offerings.
