Introducing AX USP 3.0: Axiros' Latest Advancement in TR-369/USP Technology

Written By Axiros GmbH

Scalable, and Secure Connectivity for Millions of Devices with the Universal USP (TR-369) Controller

December 12, 2024 - MUNICH, GERMANY - Telecommunications software leader Axiros today announced its launch of version 3.0 of the AX USP Controller (and associated tools). This major release marks a significant milestone with the completion of full support for the MQTT MTP, including the stabilization of clustered MQTT client and server modes.

The AX USP 3.0 release focuses on providing enhanced support for industry-standard protocols and beyond, ensuring scalability and reliability, it enhances the integrated MQTT server, introduced in the previous release, reinforcing Axiros’ commitment to delivering comprehensive and scalable solutions for the evolving demands of the industry.

Another key highlight of the AX USP 3.0 release are major improvements to the load tester, like the added MQTT MTP and support for the use of multiple source IPs from a single process to test the USP Controller setup with even more demanding production-like loads.

Some other notable changes from this release are:

  • Stabilization of all MQTT MTP modes which are now recommended for use in production systems

  • Added support for disabling CN/SANs validation in Elasticsearch logging using TLS

  • Bumped minimum glibc version to 2.31 as used by Debian bullseye

  • Different MQTT options are now mutually exclusive in a single configuration, avoiding confusing situations due to misconfiguration

  • Dependencies upgrades and general optimizations

“The completion of the MQTT MTP marks a big milestone, warranting the major 3 version. Unlike the competition we can not just use an MQTT Broker, losing some major USP advantages and performance, but also have our unique MQTT server built-in, allowing a use like WebSockets MTP but for limited devices which only support MQTT”, said Daniel Egger, Product Owner of AX USP and Program Stream Lead for Data modelling in the Broadband Forum.

Axiros AX USP supports millions of concurrent USP Agents connected via WebSocket or MQTT MTP in a single process. The Controller was developed from scratch in a memory-safe language for safety and speed. It supports all features specified in the latest TR-369 specification and most features currently defined in the specification process. AX USP interfaces seamlessly with all current and future Axiros products, thereby providing a seamless upgrade path for existing installations.

USP Interoperability Benchmarking Explained

Providing customers, the ability to use and integrate any device which supports one or more of the many standardised device management and monitoring protocols is in Axiros’ DNA. The most utilised standard by our customers is still TR-069, but with the introduction of its successor USP, we’re seeing a major shift in aspects of the lower layers of communication in comparison to TR-069. The analysis of the actual device capabilities and the representation in the data they provide, is a process we call Interoperability Benchmarking. To learn more, check out our blog post.

USP and its Exciting New Features

In the previous blog, our Daniel Egger outlined some of the key differences between the TR-069 and USP (née TR-369) protocols and why USP provides a solid improvement. But (as you may have noticed), he also left a few strategic spoilers about some unique features which make USP truly awesome; and that’s what we’re going to address today.

A Gentle Introduction to USP/TR-369

All the lessons learned from wide-spread TR-069 use were considered and taken into account to design a much more modern, efficient, and secure protocol that can implement all of the TR-069 use cases but also some which couldn’t be implemented before.
