TR-069 device management platform can be used to manage IoT devices, using the same data model to achieve zero-touch service activation and management. TR-069 provides a standardized approach to enable control of connected devices to be managed by CSPs who are looking to enter the IoT market.
The following key requirements need to be considered for rapid IoT device on-boarding:
- Automated discovery - for ease of provisioning and management
- Extreme scaling to deal with millions of devices
- Zero-touch provisioning - truck rolls are not an option
- Bulk operations - automated firmware updates become key
- Ability to securely add device attributes
- Neutrality becomes important given the plethora of devices, access technologies, and vendors - your device management platform needs to support it all
- Closed-loop automation - helps detect, isolate, and mitigate threats to ensure IoT security and network efficiency
- Reducing the need for manual intervention - increase the automation of IoT
