Our History and Vision

The OpenAirInterfaceTM software originated as the fruit of research collaboration between several academic and industrial institutions in the framework of EU/French research projects led by EURECOM. However in order to cater to new needs, an increasing number of them of industrial nature in an evolving telecom arena, it was decided in 2015 to establish a foundation named OpenAirInterfaceTM (OAI) Software Alliance (OSA).

The OAI use-cases are numerous and the Alliance has given itself the clear vision of Facilitating OAI Adoption for its users.
