What is OpenSync?
Consumers want their smart homes to continue evolving with the times—but they don't want to pay for new hardware every step of the way. At the same time, they expect more out of their WiFi, including increasingly seamless service, personalized features, and nimble updates.

These demands put pressure on the companies expected to meet such high expectations:
Communications Service Providers (CSPs), who are often still dealing with legacy systems comprised of disjointed data, complex supply chains and lengthy integration times with services tied directly to devices
Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), who are glued to firmware, and upgrading features across a CSP customer’s nationwide footprint can take months.

ODM
Supply-chain issues add new time and cost pressures, making it harder to meet customer expectations.
What the industry needs is a solution that separates service delivery from hardware dependence. A solution that leverages an open-source middle layer to increase the value of every piece of hardware.
Meet OpenSync.
An overview:
OpenSync = the fastest-growing, silicon-to-cloud, open-source framework that provides whole-home WiFi management and more
A silicon-, cloud-, and CPE-agnostic solution
Operates across:
Residential gateways, modems, routers, access points, extenders, and set-top boxes
IoT hubs, smart speakers, and other connected smart home devices
The connecting middle layer of the cloud services architecture — with CSPs controlling the cloud at the top, and the WiFi chipset (both hardware + firmware) at the bottom
Functions as:
Telemetry: Collects measurements from devices, standardizes and formats the resulting statistics, and communicates them to the cloud
Features 3 core technical components:
Control: Creates a standard interface for control messaging from the cloud, and uses software for device maintenance
Networking: Allows for monitoring and control of traffic flow, as well as software-defined networking (SDN)
The advantages of OpenSync for
Remove hardware dependencies to launch new services in a matter of weeks
Improve vendor interoperability
Harness the power of the cloud for more sophisticated management of complex, congested networks
Extend the life of legacy hardware
Support for a wide range of existing connectivity services
Embrace a common framework and future-proof offerings
CSPs
Accelerated time to market for device updates, often fully within the cloud (no new hardware or firmware necessary)
Participate in an ecosystem that provides the foundation for all future innovation
Set yourself apart from the competition by empowering CSPs to deliver bespoke, on-demand services
Connect with a robust list of CSPs who are looking for the competitive edge that OpenSync offers
Enables ODMs to support a dynamic range of services without the burden of proprietary service integration into the chipset firmware
