LF Connectivity Enhances Networks with MetaLinux Foundation & Meta Launch new "LF Connectivity" Project Umbrella to Improve Enhanced Access to Networks
The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization focused on fostering innovation through open source, announced LF Connectivity, a new open source project focused on advancing technologies to accelerate emerging network and connectivity applications. Formed in collaboration with Meta, LF Connectivity's vision is to create a robust and sustainable open ecosystem that will enable a wide range of communication service providers to leverage open source tools and technologies to help with the end-to-end performance and quality of experience (QoE) requirements of emerging applications. "With 5G becoming more pervasive and NextG on the horizon, bandwidth and latency requirements will be higher than ever, with more applications leveraging augmented reality and immersive experiences that need to traverse networks," said Arpit Joshipura, general manager, Networking, Edge, IoT, the Linux Foundation. "We are pleased to bring new open source tools to more organizations across the globe and welcome LF Connectivity to our growing number of networking projects working to improve digital transformation." Meta is contributing a rich set of technologies to the LF Connectivity project that was developed in collaboration with industry partners, including three initial sub-projects:
"Meta is pleased to contribute our Terragraph, Open M-Plane, and Maveric technologies to the Linux Foundation's Connectivity project," said Shah Rahman, engineering director, Meta. "By sharing these technologies, we hope to further improve global connectivity by enabling other companies to participate and contribute to those projects."
