Architecture¶
OpenOP is an open-source implementation of an Operator Platform (OP) that enables Application Providers, developers and researchers to consume telecom network and Edge Cloud capabilities — such as deploying Application Instances on Edge Cloud Availability Zones or configuring Quality on Demand sessions — through standardised CAMARA APIs, without requiring knowledge of the underlying operator infrastructure. It further supports inter-operator federation, allowing Application Providers to access capabilities and resources across multiple Operator Platform instances via the East/Westbound Interface (E/WBI).

Components¶
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| AI Module (AI²) | An AI-native interface to the Operator Platform, enabling natural language interaction and AI-driven automation. |
| Portal | A web-based management interface for the Operator Platform. |
| Open Exposure Gateway (OEG) | The Northbound Interface entry point, exposing CAMARA APIs to Application Providers. |
| Service Resource Manager (SRM) | The brains of the platform, managing application lifecycle and translating technology-agnostic requests into technology-specific actions. |
| Transformation Function SDK | Technology-specific adapters implementing the Southbound Interface, enabling support for heterogeneous Edge Cloud and network infrastructure. |
| Federation Manager | Manages inter-operator federation agreements and shared Availability Zones, enabling cross-operator resource sharing. |
