India Open Source for Mobile Communication Network

Democratising Indian Telecom Industry - using Open Source

India Open Source (IOS) for Mobile Communication Network (MCN) is a software platform for 5G and beyond with a collaborative ecosystem that can reignite the Indian Telecom Ecosystem by supporting Indian vendors, companies and startups.

The IOS-MCN Foundation provides a neutral, democratic, and trusted ecosystem for developers, vendors, users and standard organizations to collaborate for the research and development of Open Source software for various technology domains. It fosters the global open-source ecosystem and builds a common forum to accelerate technology projects and solutions from India by India.

Why IOS-MCN

IOS-MCN will enable vendors to rapidly use, customise, make derivative works from, and thereby create Mobile Communication (5G/6G and beyond) products and services by:

Creating a Open-Source, 3GPP, and ORAN Compliant Mobile Communication software platform

Providing a commercial grade, common, and open software base for development of new services

Delivering an in-depth technical knowledge management system tailored for the industry’s use of the platform

This will promote vendor diversification and allow the start-ups and more established companies to focus on their unique innovation instead of replicating common software components, hence accelerating the development of 5G/6G products and services.
