Discover the new standard for developing and deploying connected home services
Building on the revolutionary practices of TR-069, the User Service Platform (USP) provides a faster and more flexible way to develop and deploy connected home devices.
From Managed Wi-Fi systems, bulk statistics collection, and standardized IoT onboarding to customer self-care applications and secure communication, USP helps service providers, consumer electronics manufacturers, and application developers create services with real value.
QA Cafe provides training resources to help you create the connected home services of the future.
USP training resourcesThe information you need to implement the User Services Platform (TR-369)
USP is a revolutionary standard that builds on the lessons learned from TR-069. In addition to being a faster and more flexible at meeting the existing use cases of TR-069, USP is built to enable...
Learn moreThe User Services Platform is a system for managing, monitoring, deploying, troubleshooting, and controlling any kind of network connected electronics or virtual services. Developed by the Broadband Forum in TR-369, it’s intended for application developers, consumer electronics and networking manufacturers, and service providers to deploy on end-user devices.
Learn moreThere are two kinds of endpoints in USP: Agents, and Controllers. A USP Agent is an Endpoint that exposes functions represented by a set of service elements. It is mostly designed to receive and respond to messages from a USP Controller, or send Notifications about activity that the Controller has subscribed to. A USP Controller allows users and applications to manipulate the functions exposed by an Agent.
Learn moreThe functions of service elements are described in a set of xml documents known as the USP data model. A data model describes how things like network interfaces, device functions, IoT objects, and more are exposed to controllers.
Learn moreService Elements that are defined in the USP Data Model are addressed in USP Messages with a particular syntax called Path Names. Path Names are called such because they describe the “path” within the data model’s tree of objects used to reference a particular object or elements of that object to operate upon.
Learn moreCommunications between a USP Controller and USP Agent are delivered using two separate constructs: the USP Message, and its container, the USP Record.
Learn moreThere are three USP messages that are used to change the state of an Agent’s service elements: Add, Set, and Delete.
