Telcos
Welcome to the OCP Telco Project
This Project is open to the public and we welcome all those who would like to be involved.
There is an industry desire to apply the open hardware OCP model to the creation of open telecom optimized hardware. The OCP Telco Project enlists participants from Communication Service Provider (CSP) and carriers as well as software, board, sub systems, and semiconductor suppliers who are seeking to use open designs and data center infrastructure to deliver Telecom services.
As technologists across industries participate in this community, we are creating and refining OCP design specifications, making it possible for more companies to transition from their existing proprietary solutions to Open Compute Project (OCP) solutions gear, and interoperable, multi-vendor supplier support.
Scope
When OCP Accepted™ and OCP Inspired™ products are not sufficient nor deliver the technology needed by and for deployment into telecom and carrier data center or infrastructure, the Telco Project shall promote the creation of these products, specifications, and technologies.
- Firmware, software, and APIs for the remote management, service deployment, maintenance, monitoring, & telemetry of telecom hardware.
- Specs and designs that are interoperable with either the 19” EIA or OpenRack mechanical architecture unless targeted for deployment outside of the traditional Data Center or Central Office (e.g. Edge products).
- Creation of common architecture specifications which promote interoperability and a multi-vendor supply chain for telecom and Edge hardware.
- Creation of Telecom/carrier products derived from OCP products and approved specifications.
- Creation of Telecom/carrier products which compliment OCP products and specifications by either referenced to other open source foundations (TIP, ONF, Linux Foundation etc) or in collaboration with these foundations.
