The radio access network has long been the most closed, most specialized corner of the telecom stack. That is changing fast. Since its launch earlier this year as a Linux Foundation project, OCUDU has set out to do for the RAN what Linux did for the server: deliver a complete, open source 5G/6G software stack.…
Developers, researchers and industry leaders gathered in Alexandria, Virginia, for three days of technical discussions, demonstrations and collaboration on open source RAN. The OCUDU community came together October 20-22 in Alexandria, Virginia, for the OCUDU Ecosystem Developer Summit North America 2026. Hosted in collaboration with Virginia Tech and the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI), the event…
We are thrilled to present Release 26.10 of the OCUDU open-source project! With this release, the OCUDU project takes a major step forward in both functional maturity and operational robustness, bringing open-source 5G Radio Access Network software closer than ever to commercial production deployments. Release 26.10 delivers critical advancements across radio signal processing, scheduler efficiency,…
Rimedo Labs and POWDER-led research demonstrates OCUDU across resilient open source RAN control, spectrum sensing, and over-the-air experimentation Two papers accepted for publication and presentation at workshops associated with IEEE MILCOM 2026 highlight the growing role of the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation’s OCUDU Technical Project as an open platform for advanced 5G/6G research, experimentation, and technology…
The Radio Access Network is having its Linux moment - and the OCUDU Developer Summit this October is where you can watch it happen live. For years, telecom infrastructure has been defined by vendor lock-in, closed interfaces, and eye-watering deployment costs. OCUDU is part of a broader push to change that: a carrier-grade, open source…
On October 20, the inaugural OCUDU Ecosystem Developer Summit lands at Virginia Tech in Alexandria, bringing together open source pioneers, wireless communications leaders, and researchers to shape the future of 5G and 6G. Beyond network building, attendees will dive into hands-on code contributions and real-world deployments of this field-proven, carrier-grade stack. Below, we preview the…
Open RAN just keeps moving faster - and nowhere is that more obvious than in the agenda for the first OCUDU Ecosystem Developer Summit. Over three days at the Boeing Auditorium, developers, operators, defense integrators, and academic researchers from around the world will gather to share how they're pushing OCUDU - the carrier-grade, open source…
If you've been meaning to catch up on the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation's webinar series but haven't found the time, this post is for you. Over three sessions, some of OCUDU’s echnical architects walked through an overview of the project, how to contribute to it, and how the codebase is structured. Here's the recap. First, what…
