300 of the best minds in open source, security, chip design, carrier-grade software design, carrier and mobile communications, consumer applications, and much more all joined together in October for the 2023 prpl Summit!
prpl Summit 2023 was again the premier event for Service Providers, OEMs, Silicon Vendors, ISVs and open-source developers. This year’s completely sold out event took place in Paris, France on Monday October 23.
Featuring speakers from across the industry, keynotes from operators and industry stakeholders, application demonstrations and more, the prpl Summit welcomed all who are committed to open-source and open-APIs in support of carrier-grade CPE. Held in the Orange headquarters by the banks of the River Seine in Les Moulineaux, this Summit presented a unique opportunity for collaboration, networking, and development, with industry leaders from across the world in attendance.
With presentations from the experts deeply involved in the creation of the prplWare carrier-grade open-source suite, including prplOS, prplMesh, prplLCM and prplSecurity. We showcased how these innovative solutions are transforming a number of industries, with key insight into future developments and applications.
We would like to extend our thanks once more to Orange for hosting and helping to make the event a success!
