There has been a shift in how quickly broadband service providers (BSPs) using prpl Foundation and RDK platforms can deploy new services, from months and years to a matter of weeks, as both organisations have integrations with the Broadband Forum’s OBUSPA open source software.
Two of the most widely used carrier-grade open source platforms for home broadband management, prpl Foundation’s prplWare and RDK’s RDK-B software, have integrated the Open Broadband USP Agent (OBUSPA) project’s releases with their middleware stacks, which allow BSPs to offer new applications faster on end-user devices such as routers and residential gateways. This will enable BSPs to differentiate their services and provide a more tailored experience for the end user with access to a wider range of applications.
