Allowing broader participation by qualified service providers with diverse industrial experiences is generally beneficial to users of CA services. CommScope’s more than 25 years of experience servicing the PKI needs of device manufacturers and service providers brings unique perspectives and capabilities to the Mozilla root program in a world that is seeing an explosion of connected devices. CommScope has been delivering CA and device identity provisioning services across 200+ OEM/ODM/repair locations spanning 30+ countries. Besides being a device manufacturer itself, CommScope also serves customers and partners, such as Motorola and Broadcom. Additionally, we have successfully provided over-the-air solutions to more than a dozen leading domestic and international service providers, such as Verizon and T-Mobile, enabling them to upgrade device cryptographic identities and enhance security in real-world deployments. The devices we touched include mobile phones, wireless access points, mobile network base stations, home gateways, cable modems, and set-top boxes. We are expanding our services to IoT devices. We understand the challenges device manufacturers and service providers face trying to meet the PKI requirements from industry consortia such as CableLabs, WInnForum, and CSA. We have seen and have solved the problems that arise in global manufacturing operations and post-deployment network operations, such as duplicate device identities and network trust changes. Over the years, we’ve securely installed over 6 billion sets of device identity credentials through different channels at different stages of device lifetime. CommScope is more than just a standard CA. With its wealth of experience dealing with device manufacturing, deployment and operation, we are also well positioned to serve device manufacturers and operators of device fleets, whose requirements are not the same as typical web site operators.
