Open-source at our core
OpenWrt* (from open wireless router) is a Linux-based open-source project started in 2004. It is used for embedded operating systems, targeting network devices. The large OpenWrt community of software developers provides a fully writable filesystem with package management, containing over 3500 features and functions.
For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it. For users, this means the ability for full customization and to use the device in ways never envisioned.
OpenWrt is the best base for gateway manufacturers to manage multiple SoCs and a unified architecture for their residential router portfolio. Equally, it is the best base for Service Providers to implement a unified software layer for their residential broadband offering.
IOPSYS supports and engages heavily in open-source software to leverage and contribute expertise to the developer community. OpenWrt is the underlying open-source technology in IOWRT – our commercial open-source operating system (OS) for broadband and IoT gateways. In IOWRT, IOPSYS adds standardized service provider features, support, test protocols, and documentation to offer carrier-grade OpenWrt.
We are committed to never compromising the OpenWrt code.
