Supplying a proactive software strategy for your digital home equipment

Service providers and Wi-Fi customer premises equipment (CPE) manufacturers want to offer a broad variety of easy-to-install devices and new, innovative services with fast time-to-market (TTM) and low total cost of ownership (TCO).

IOWRT is a Commerical Open-Source Software (COSS) that combines technology from the OpenWrt* community with carrier-grade requirements from the Broadband and IoT industry, resulting in a platform-independent gateway software based on OpenWrt*.

IOWRT is the most flexible and innovative open-source operating system (OS) for broadband and IoT devices on the market.

Depending on where you are as a CSP, you are better positioned to compete if you have a much more open system. You can’t be competitive in a fast-moving landscape if you buy software from a vendor where it’s not open-source, and you can’t impact the code

Johan Fredriksson

Senior Business Leader

We wanted to develop features and functionalities over the lifetime of a product, and we were aware that we couldn’t do everything ourselves. Open-source is the right choice for us.

A leading CSP in the UK

Today, many service providers and gateway manufacturers share common challenges in sustaining siloed software platforms for their hardware. Relying on proprietary software has many hidden costs to consider.

Conny Franzén, CEO

IOPSYS

I saw that OpenWrt is a perfect base for our gateway; all the basics are already in place with a good operating system we could use. We have the ability to put our application on top.

within smart metering products and solutions

The buzz right now is around containers and an app-enabled ‘smart gateway’. While we’ve always been advocates of this model (we’ve had an app-store for IOWRT for nearly 10 years), the hardware, memory, and operator resources are finally there to realize this.
