AVSystem, a leader in automation solutions for connected device ecosystems, proudly announces its compliance with TP-469, the conformance test plan for USP (User Services Platform)/TR-369 controller. This significant achievement underscores AVSystem’s commitment to delivering high-quality, interoperable device management solutions in the telecommunications industry.

 

What is TP-469?

TP-469 is a comprehensive conformance test plan developed by the Broadband Forum to validate the implementations of the User Services Platform (USP) standard, known as TR-369. The test plan outlines the setup, procedures, and metrics required to ensure USP agents and controllers operate correctly and consistently within various network environments. Compliance with TP-469 is crucial for maintaining high standards, ensuring interoperability, and fostering market confidence in USP implementations.

AVSystem’s Compliance

AVSystem’s Unified Management Platform (UMP) has successfully met the requirements of TP-469. The UMP demonstrated full compliance in numerous test cases, ensuring robust performance and reliability. Key compliant areas include:

  • Messages and Path Names: Full compliance in handling unique key addressing, wildcard search paths, and search expression search paths.
  • General MTP and WebSocket Test Cases: Full compliance in establishing secure sessions and handling duplicate records.
Benefits of Compliance

Compliance with TP-469 provides numerous benefits for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) using AVSystem’s UMP:

  • Easy onboarding of CPEs available in the market
  • Leveraging USP capabilities to the full extent (learn how: USP brochure)

Moreover, CPE vendors can benefit from this compliance by utilizing UMP as a reference platform for USP integration.
