"Addressing interoperability head-on is very important. It is the number
one reason TEMs (telecom equipment manufacturers) aren't reaching the
mainstream market for standards-based communications platforms. Once this is
tackled, other challenges such as availability and management can be
effectively addressed. By developing a consistent methodology for
interoperability testing, CP-TA is a logical choice to take on these
challenges and help deliver the promise of interoperability that has been
unfilled to date."
