Hsinchu, Taiwan, June 30, 2022 – Edgecore Networks, a leading provider of traditional and open network solutions for enterprises, data centers, and telecommunication service providers, today announced the cooperation with Industrial Development Bureau (IDB), Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan to provide the cloud-to-end OpenWiFi environment for the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) Community Lab, founded by Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), to jointly promote TIP OpenWiFi certification in Taiwan and facilitate the development of Taiwan’s open network.
Edgecore has cooperated with TIP to drive the OpenWiFi development for a long time and is currently the only vendor in the market that offers the latest version of OpenWiFi full-stack solutions, including cloud controllers, Wi-Fi APs, and Open APIs. Over the past year, Edgecore has assisted more than 10 ISPs and MSPs in establishing OpenWiFi environments and launching commercial services. In order to accelerate the commercialization of OpenWiFi, Edgecore also launched its own OpenWiFi environment to provide free interoperability tests for service providers, hardware vendors, and software developers.
O Wi-Fi aberto test environment built by Edgecore and ITRI’s TIP Community Lab includes an OpenWiFi 2.4-supported cloud controller, which can manage different brands of OpenWiFi devices via the same cloud, and multiple Wi-Fi 6 APs with the latest TIP version to create a terminal test environment.
Taiwan plays a critical role in Wi-Fi design and production worldwide. The promotion of OpenWiFi is a significant opportunity to drive ecosystem in Taiwan, including chips, devices, application services, telecommunication service providers, etc. The OpenWiFi will unbind users from the proprietary network infrastructure of vendor lock-in and introduces unlimited innovation possibilities.
IDB stated, “Taiwan’s Wi-Fi industry generates an annual output value over USD 3.3 billion, and the global market share is as high as 70%. In order to help the industry keep its advantages, in addition to mastering advanced technology, grasping the whitebox business opportunity will be the driving force for the industry development. Therefore, IDB timely introduced an international test environment to assist the networking industry in developing OpenWiFi related products.”
Tengtai Hsu, Vice President of Edgecore Networks said: “As one of the earliest and active TIP OpenWiFi partners, it’s a great pleasure to join hands with ITRI to promote the OpenWiFi certification of TIP Community Lab in Taiwan, and we hope to cooperate with more vendors in the near future to expand the Wi-Fi aberto ecosystem.”

Sobre o Projeto Telecom Infra
O Telecom Infra Project (TIP) é uma comunidade global de empresas e organizações que impulsionam soluções de infraestrutura para promover a conectividade global. Metade da população mundial ainda não está conectada à internet e, para aqueles que estão, a conectividade é frequentemente insuficiente. Isso limita o acesso à infinidade de benefícios comerciais e para o consumidor proporcionados pela internet, impactando o crescimento do PIB global. No entanto, a falta de flexibilidade nas soluções atuais – agravada pela escolha limitada de provedores de tecnologia – torna desafiador para as operadoras construir e atualizar redes com eficiência. Fundado em 2016, o TIP é uma comunidade de membros diversos que inclui centenas de empresas – desde provedores de serviços e parceiros de tecnologia até integradores de sistemas e outras partes interessadas em conectividade. Estamos trabalhando juntos para desenvolver, testar e implantar soluções abertas, desagregadas e baseadas em padrões que forneçam a conectividade de alta qualidade que o mundo precisa – agora e nas próximas décadas.
