Becoming an OAI member
OpenAirInterface (OAI) is an open-source platform used worldwide for the development, integration, and experimentation of mobile network technologies.
The OpenAirInterface Software Alliance (OSA) was established to support the long-term development of the platform and coordinate the ecosystem around it. The Alliance brings together companies, research organizations, and universities working with OAI for research, innovation, and technology validation.
OAI serves as an open-source reference implementation of 3GPP-based systems, enabling experimentation, prototyping, and demonstration in both research and industrial environments.
Through the support of its members, the Alliance maintains the core development of the platform and ensures its continued evolution and availability.
Why become a member?
OAI provides a collaborative framework for organizations working on 5G systems and future network technologies.
OAI can be used for:
Research and experimentation on 5G and future network technologies
Development and validation of Open RAN and cloud-based network architectures
Rapid prototyping and integration of new features
Testing and demonstration of new use cases.
Membership provides the opportunity to contribute to the platform’s evolution and engage with its community. Members benefit from direct interaction with the OAI development team experts for technical support and guidance. Member organizations are also invited to participate in the regularly held OAI events (workshops, webinars, etc.).
