Linux Foundation OCUDU Foundation Establishes 6G Open Source RAN Standardization
The Linux Foundation creates the OCUDU Foundation to establish 6G Open Source RAN standardization. The Linux Foundation introduced the Open Centralized Unit Distributed Unit (OCUDU) Ecosystem Foundation at the Mobile World Congress 2026 event in Barcelona. This project establishes a center where people work together to create and maintain open source software for Radio Access Network (RAN) networks. The project establishes a basic reference platform that supports both 5G networks and upcoming 6G networks by using AI native algorithms which enable different systems to work together.
