BUILDING TOGETHER

prplWare

Explore our dedicated working groups that drive innovation, standardization, and security in the connected home industry.

prplWare

The prplFoundation Complete Suite

prplWare is a comprehensive open-source suite developed by the prpl Foundation. It consists of five key components:

prpl High Level API: Standardizes communication with the Operator networking device.
prplOS: An operating system based on OpenWRT, specifically designed for embedded networking devices.
prplMesh: An open-source Wi-Fi mesh network implementation, enabling carrier-grade management for both local and cloud-based Wi-Fi applications.
prplLCM: A platform-independent, open-source embedded component that allows Operators to securely manage the individual life cycles of containerized software components.
prpl Low Level API: Standardizes access to the lower levels of components, including SoC vendor BSP and Linux-based OS.

prplOS

prplLCM

Streamlined Software Lifecycle Control

prpl Life-Cycle Management (LCM) is a platform-independent solution that enables Service Providers to securely manage the individual life cycles of containerized software components (e.g., Download, Install, Launch, Pause, Update, Restart, Uninstall). Orchestration of apps and microservices can be managed from the cloud via industry-standardized tools such as Broadband Forum USP and the TR-181 Device:2 Data Model. The LCM working group collaborates with the Broadband Forum and RDK communities.

prplSecurity

Robust Security for a Connected World

prplSecurity is an open security framework that provides end-to-end trust for embedded, networking, and datacenter environments. It enables multi-tenant security across processors and heterogeneous SoCs, ensuring robust protection for routers, gateways, and connected devices. Developed through industry collaboration, it helps organizations secure virtualized services with a standardized, scalable approach.

Comprehensive Protection – From software-based security to full hardware-supported virtualization
Standardized & Scalable – APIs, best practices, and guidelines for secure embedded platforms
Industry-Driven – Developed with input from security experts, open-source contributors, and service providers

High-Level API Working Group

Creates a standards-based API supporting portable 3rd-party apps and services for seamless cloud and CPE integration.

Low-Level API Working Group

Develops Linux-based open APIs, ensuring future-proof compliance for SoC vendors and next-gen interfaces.

Certification Working Group

Develops certification programs to enhance interoperability and reduce ecosystem fragmentation
