ADB, a provider of solutions and services for media convergence, announced that it has joined the prpl Foundation, a non-profit committed to supporting the next-generation connected devices industry, to drive innovation across the connected devices market.
ADB and the prpl Foundation will work together with the open-source software community in order to build carrier-grade features into home gateways, the company said.
The prpl Foundation is an open-source, community-driven, collaborative, non-profit foundation targeting and supporting the MIPS architecture – and open to others – with a focus on enabling next-generation data center-to-device portable software and virtualized architectures.
The Foundation has strong focus on enabling next-generation datacenter-to-device portable software and virtualized architectures, with a specific emphasis on data centers, networking & storage, connected consumers and embedded IoT.
As a new member, ADB will be a key participant in a newly formed Carrier Interest Group, which has the charter to ensure that the technical needs of major international carriers are represented across prpl and that potential carrier grade features are defined for key open source implementations, such as OpenWrt.
Corrado Rocca, EVP Product Management and Development at ADB, said, “Working alongside other leading companies to create connected solutions in an open and collaborative environment will help us to push the boundaries of our industry even further, and guide the next stage of evolution of connected devices.”
