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

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.
