Open-source standards are essential as they enable new technologies to be developed quickly and effectively, which in turn means that new services can be delivered to a customer’s home network faster and more efficiently. By collaborating with prpl Foundation members and taking an active role in developing open-source standards, we will accelerate innovation and improve the quality and security of our services.”

Orange Group joins prpl Foundation’s members, ranging from Chipset Makers to Internet Service Providers, including Deutsche Telekom AG, CommScope, Vodafone, Verizon and Nokia.Newly appointed President of prpl Foundation, Len Dauphinee commented, “At a time when value-added services are accelerating, open-source platforms are the key to enabling collaboration and interoperability between service providers and their vendors. The open-source products from prpl Foundation enable carrier-grade implementations and smart cloud services for the next generation connected home. We are looking forward to working with Orange to build manageable self-organized networks and further drive our smart society of the future to benefit all customers.”
