ONF Mobile Network Projects

SMaRT-5G is a collaborative effort to build a RAN platform and PoC demonstrating various techniques to address the significant challenges related to energy efficiency facing 5G mobile operators.

Aether is the first open source Enterprise 5G/LTE Edge-Cloud platform. It delivers mobile connectivity and edge cloud services for distributed networks with provisioning and management from a central cloud.

SD-Core project is a 4G/5G disaggregated mobile core optimized for public cloud deployment.

SD-RAN is developing a near-real-time RIC and a set of exemplar xApps for controlling the RAN. The architecture for the nRT-RIC leverages the O-RAN architecture.
