Who We Are
We are a diverse community of Service Providers, OEMs, Silicon Vendors, ISVs, and open-source developers committed to open-source software and open APIs to build standardized, carrier-grade CPE. We are a large ecosystem of like-minded companies and individuals working to defragment the plethora of proprietary software platforms developed and deployed today. We collaborate with industry organizations such as the Broadband Forum and Wi-Fi Alliance to help accelerate our goals.
Please join our worldwide membership and help us drive our Mission!
prpl's Mission
Enable high-velocity, service-driven innovation on CPE by harmonizing interfaces in open APIs and delivering open-source reference implementations of common infrastructure.
prpl is all about open APIs and open-source to drive scalability
prpl Foundation promotes:
- Velocity by de-complexifying the process of integrating a Gateway (GW) stack onto multiple platforms
- Service-driven innovation by enabling proprietary differentiation from a 3rd-party services ecosystem
- Harmonized APIs through collaboration & convergence among member companies and other industry organizations to help companies scale up their businesses.
- An open-source community needed to jointly coalesce the largest possible ecosystem to avoid duplication and wasted efforts.
- Cultivating a community of knowledgeable developers to help speed deployments
prpl Foundation is the place for Service Providers (SPs) to specify carrier-grade features for open gateways.
