Interoperability CP-TA Overview: CP-TA is an association of communications platform and building block providers dedicated to accelerating mainstream adoption of SIG-governed, open specification-based communications platforms through interoperability testing and certification. CP-TA Value Proposition: Network Equipment Providers • Faster time-to-market • Lower integration costs “Creating interoperability requirements • Alternative sourcing and product choice that recommend standards options and • Economies of scale through mainstream certifying compliance with those COTS adoption requirements, as CP-TA proposes, is Service Providers crucial to the success of efforts like Advanced. TCA. ” • Faster time-to-revenue • Lower operational costs • Alternative sourcing and product choice - Fred S. Cook, Sprint/Nextel 9
