The prpl Foundation drives collaborative open-source development for carrier-grade software, creating open API specifications and industry standards for broadband CPE. Focused on network operators’ needs, this community initiative fosters shared innovation to advance next-generation broadband through interoperable open standards and APIs, benefiting operators and end-users.
prpl Foundation brings together operators and their technology partners to build an open-source, carrier-grade software stack on proven standards for broadband and connectivity devices, by the industry for the industry.
The prpl Foundation brings together service providers, device manufacturers, system integrators, silicon vendors, and app developers to harmonize home network architecture. It then shares a reference implementation of standardized open-source infrastructure built atop open API specifications and open industry standards. prpl enables a service delivery ecosystem including innovative third-party applications that can be quickly and easily deployed across different CPE platforms.
The prpl Foundation fosters collaboration and interoperability, challenging proprietary boundaries to drive innovation. working groups develop a common software baseline for the future, guided by steering committees, the Board of Directors, a Technical Steering Committee (TSC), a Product Steering Committee (PSC), and a Marketing Committee. The TSC executes technical projects approved by the Board.
The prpl Foundation is the nexus for service providers to establish carrier-grade specifications for open gateways, promoting these core principles.
