Leading provider of real-time Business Support Systems(BSS), Openet has joined the OPNFV Project as a Silver member. Launched just over a year ago, the OPNFV project is supported by a growing group of 55+ member companies committed to advancing a flexible, open source framework for NFV.
June last year, OPNFV released its first software platform, dubbed Arno, which is designed to foster the development of NFV, virtual network functions and use case-based testing. OPNFV plans to unveil its second release, Brahmaputra, due next month with further enhancements.
Openet said that its software ensures that more than 600 million mobile telecoms users around the world enjoy the best network and data experience while enabling operators to monetize data use in 'real-time'.
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), a non-profit government-funded research institute and the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent, third-party laboratory have also joined OPNFV as Associate members.
Heather Kirksey, Director, OPNFV
Openet brings a wealth of telecom software development experience to the community, and with research institutions ETRI and UNH-IOL with their expertise in testing and Compliance & Certification also joining, I'm eager to see where this range of perspectives takes the project in 2016.
Joe Hogan, CTO, Openet
Openet has long supported solutions that are virtualized, vendor- agnostic and built using open standards. We are delighted to be part of OPNFV and look forward to contributing to the OPNFV carrier-grade platform to help enable operators deliver a faster time-to-market for new services and new revenue streams.
