+ <div class="text-left">
+ <p>The O-RAN Software Community (OSC) is a collaboration with the O-RAN Alliance and Linux Foundation with the mission to support the creation of software for the Radio Access Network (RAN). The RAN is the next challenge for the open source community and plans to leverage other LF network projects, while address the challenges in performance, scale, and 3GPP alignment.</p>
+
+ <p>The telecom industry is experiencing a profound transformation and 5G is expected to radically change how we live, work, and play. This means it's critical to make network infrastructure commercially available as quickly as possible to ensure business success for operators. It's time to turn to open source, as it is one of the most efficient ways to accelerate product development in a collaborative and cost-efficient way. </p>
+
+ <p>The O-RAN Software Community is focused on aligning with the O-RAN Alliance's open architecture and specifications to achieve a solution that can be utilized for industry solutions. As a new open source community under the Linux Foundation, the OSC is sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance, and will enable the develop of open source software enabling modular, open, intelligent, efficient, and agile disaggregated radio access networks.</p>
+
+ <p>The initial set of software projects being discussed may include: near-real-time RAN intelligent controller (nRT RIC), non-real-time RAN intelligent controller (NRT RIC), cloudification and virtualization platforms, open central unit (O-CU), open distributed unit (O-DU), and a test and integration effort to provide a working reference implementation. These efforts will be looking to work with other adjacent open source networking communities, so the O-RAN Software Community can enable collaborative development across the full operator network stack with strong community alignment.</p>
+
+ <p>The community will target an initial release before the end of 2019. It will take multiple releases to fully implement a functional stack. Please join the community in its efforts to open the RAN and leverage software to enrich 5G and beyond solutions for users worldwide.</p>
+
+ <p>Please join and check out the effort. Start with joining the mailing list and Technical Oversight Community (TOC) meetings to get started.</p>
+
+ <h5>Big Challenges:</h5>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Build commercially viable solutions that meet high performing KPIs requirements. Supporting real-time system needs.</li>
+ <li>Implement 3GPP and O-RAN target architectures and address essential patents for support within an open source the developer community.</li>
+ <li>Leverage adjacent software communities and open approaches to utilize existing solutions to speed time to market and leverage other efforts and not recreate other open source work.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h5>Mission:</h5>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Manage all software development, code storage, tooling and developer integration testing aligned with the architecture specified by O-RAN Alliance.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h5>Project Scope:</h5>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Software development including documentation, testing and integration of the open source software project.</li>
+ <li>Coordinate efforts with related open source software projects and standards communities.</li>
+ <li>Aligned with O-RAN architecture.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h5>Licensing:</h5>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Standard Apache 2 license for Open Source software contributors.</li>
+ <li>O-RAN specification license that adds protection for 3GPP and O-RAN essential patents for software contributors.</li>
+ </ol>

- <div class="col-lg-10 text-center">
- <p class="lead text-white mb-0">The O-RAN Alliance understands the value and supports the goals and objectives of open source communities. Many components of the O-RAN architecture will be delivered as open source, through existing communities. These components include: the RAN intelligent controller, protocol stack, PHY layer processing and virtualization platform. The O-RAN open-source software framework will not only implement the de facto interfaces, including F1/W1/E1/E2/X2/Xn, but also expects to offer the reference design for next generation RRM with embedded intelligence to enable the RIC. Open source software and hardware reference designs enable faster, more democratic and permission-less innovation.</p>
-<br><p class="lead text-white mb-4">Whenever possible, the O-RAN Alliance will leverage and verify the performance of relevant open source communities including - OPNFV, ONAP, Akraino, K8S, OpenStack, QEMU - to design key solutions such as programmable hardware accelerators, real time processing, light weight virtualization technologies. </p>

+ <div class="text-left">
+ <p>
+Today, the O-RAN Alliance (<a href="www.o-ran.org" target=_blank>www.o-ran.org"</a>) and the Linux Foundation (<a href="https://www.linuxfoundation.org" target=blank>https://www.linuxfoundation.org</a>) jointly announced the creation of the O-RAN Software Community (O-RAN SC) (www.o-ran-sc.org).</p>
+
+ <p>
+The telecom industry is experiencing a profound transformation and 5G is expected to radically change how we live, work, and play. This means it’s critical to make network infrastructure commercially available as quickly as possible to ensure business success for operators. It’s time to turn to open source, as it is one of the most efficient ways to accelerate product development in a collaborative and cost-efficient way.</p>
+
+ <p>The O-RAN SC will provide open software aligned with the O-RAN Alliance’s open architecture. As a new open source community under the Linux Foundation, the O-RAN SC is sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance, and together they will develop open source software enabling modular, open, intelligent, efficient, and agile disaggregated radio access networks. The initial set of software projects may include: near-real-time RAN intelligent controller (nRT RIC), non-real-time RAN intelligent controller (NRT RIC), cloudification and virtualization platforms, open central unit (O-CU), open distributed unit (O-DU), and a test and integration effort to provide a working reference implementation. Working with other adjacent open source networking communities, the O-RAN SC will enable collaborative development across the full operator network stack.</p>
+
+ <p>“This collaboration between the O-RAN Alliance and the Linux Foundation is a tremendous accomplishment that represents the culmination of years of thoughtful innovation around the next generation of networks,” said Andre Fuetsch, Chairman of the O-RAN Alliance, and President of AT&T Labs and Chief Technology Officer at AT&T. “The launch of the O-RAN SC marks the next phase of that innovation, where the benefits of disaggregated and software-centric platforms will move out to the edge of the network. This new open source community will be critical if 5G is to reach its full potential.”</p>
+
+ <p>"We are really excited to see the establishment of the O-RAN Open Source Community," said Chih-Lin I, Chief Scientist of China Mobile, co-chair of the O-RAN Technical Steering Committee and member of the Executive Committee of the O-RAN Alliance. "The O-RAN Alliance is aiming at building an ‘Open' and ‘Smart' Radio Access Network for future wireless systems. From day one, the Alliance has embraced open source as one of the most powerful means to achieve its vision. The O-RAN Open Source Community is the fruit of a yearlong extensive deliberation between the O-RAN Alliance and the Linux Foundation. We believe that the power of open source will further the momentum and accelerate the development, test, commercialization and deployment of O-RAN solutions.”</p>
+
+ <p>“We are excited to collaborate with O-RAN Alliance in bringing communities together to create software for this important access area of Telecommunications,” said Arpit Joshipura, GM Networking, Edge & IOT, the Linux Foundation. “This step towards execution marks another major milestone in networking partnerships across standards and open source organizations.”</p>
+
+ <p><strong><i>About O-RAN Alliance</i></strong><br>
+The O-RAN Alliance is a world-wide, carrier-led effort to drive new levels of openness in the radio access network of next generation wireless systems. Future RANs will be built on a foundation of virtualized network elements, white-box hardware and standardized interfaces that fully embrace O-RAN’s core principles of intelligence and openness. An ecosystem of innovative new products is already emerging that will form the underpinnings of the multi-vendor, interoperable, autonomous RAN, envisioned by many in the past, but only now enabled by the global industry-wide vision, commitment and leadership of O-RAN Alliance members and contributors.<br>
