Project Groups

TIP’s OpenRAN Solutions subgroup has released Version 2 of the Small Cell End-to-End Test Plan, providing a common framework for validating disaggregated 5G NR small cell solutions across interoperability, performance, energy efficiency, operations, and resiliency.

Open networking is no longer an emerging concept. It is becoming a foundational principle for the future of enterprise and service provider connectivity. As networks evolve toward increasingly software-driven and disaggregated architectures, the industry’s focus is shifting beyond innovation alone toward operational maturity, interoperability, and long-term reliability. Within this transformation, the Telecom Infra Project OpenLAN community continues to play a significant rol

What started as a response to DigiCert certificates approaching end-of-life became a community-wide transformation — spanning requirements gathering, protocol selection, vendor evaluation, tooling development, infrastructure buildout, and live migration of thousands of devices worldwide.

The Telecom Infra Project's Open Optical & Packet Transport (OOPT) community has published the technical requirements for the Disaggregated Aggregation Router (DAR) — a milestone that marks a significant step toward open, flexible, and future-proof transport networks.

The second annual OpenLAN Global Summit capped three days of Wi-Fi World Congress USA 2026 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. The message from speakers, operators, and contributors was consistent throughout the day: OpenLAN has moved past the question of whether open and disaggregated networking can work at scale. It already is.

FYUZ 2026 is heading to Seattle, and registration is officially open. Join us November 3–5 at The Westin Seattle for two and a half days of real connection, practical innovation, and the conversations shaping the future of AI and advanced communications. This year's event has been reimagined from the ground up, with a fully integrated stage and expo floor, the brand new FYUZ Loft, and guided tours into Seattle's innovation ecosystem.

TIP had a strong presence at Mobile World Congress 2026, convening industry leaders to advance open, disaggregated, and AI-ready networks. From the launch of the Data & AI Foundations Project Group to momentum around Open RAN, AI infrastructure, and Video QoE collaboration, the week highlighted growing industry engagement across the TIP ecosystem—setting the stage for continued progress leading into FYUZ 2026 in Seattle.

The latest GNPy 2.14 release introduces major improvements for optical network planning, including enhanced physical modeling accuracy, richer diagnostic metrics, improved multi-vendor equipment library management, and new YANG model support for easier integration with SDN and automation workflows. These updates strengthen GNPy’s role as a key open-source tool for planning, simulating, and optimizing modern DWDM networks.

The Telecom Infra Project announces today the official launch of its latest Project Group, Data & AI Foundations, with founding Co-Chairs from AT&T, AWS, Orange, Telefónica and with expectations of other community members following swiftly after.

ENAI targets to define open, interoperable architectures for AI infrastructure, including Ethernet‑based scale‑up and scale‑out within servers and AI clusters, and open IP‑based transport for scale‑across connectivity across distributed data centers.
