OpenOP
Open Operator Platform
What's new Kick-off meeting is coming!ETSI Software Development Group OpenOP (SDG OOP) delivers an Open-Source Operator Platform enabling operator network and testbed federation, along with standardized capability exposure APIs.
The OpenOP initiative aims to create a collaborative environment for telecom operators, vendors, and research institutions to co-develop and test new capabilities in an agile manner.
Our mission
Built upon foundational work from the EU-funded SUNRISE-6G project, SDG OpenOP will leverage existing GSMA requirements and APIs for federation, will expose CAMARA service APIs, while also enabling integration with a broad range of southbound platforms such as Kubernetes, 3GPP NEF, ETSI MEC and NFV Orchestration.

SDG OpenOP will collaborate and provide timely feedback to key industry players, open-source communities and SDOs such as GSMA, LF Camara, and 3GPP, while enhancing the broader ETSI portfolio of software and standardization initiatives such as OpenCAPIF, OpenSlice, Open Source MANO, TeraFlowSDN, MEC, NFV and ZSM.
