TIP kicks off Year 3 with more disaggregated optical specs
- Wednesday | 17th October, 2018
Vodafone spearheaded the project earlier this year as part of TIP’s Open Optical & Packet Transport (OOPT) project group. The Telecom Infra Project (TIP) – the cross-industry community spearheaded by Facebook to develop open-source telecoms gear – has kicked off its third annual summit in London with some key announcements involving disaggregated cell site gateways and a module interface for disaggregated optical systems. That allows optical system vendors to more easily take their solutions to market with existing network software that can support them out of the box. The companies have also developed the first open-source implementations of the TAI interface. The concept is similar to the SAI (switch abstraction interface), a similar software interface construct for switch ASICs initiated by Microsoft a few years ago, which was the inspiration for the TAI project, TIP says.
