Plume and Samsung Launch OpenSync Open Source Initiative - Seite 2

The benefits of OpenSync's all-inclusive, multi-vendor approach will be demonstrated at Broadband World Forum 2018, booth #MR15, Hall 21b where visitors will see interoperability of advanced gateways deployed by Comcast incorporating RDK, advanced gateways deployed by Bell Canada and Liberty Global, gateways and extenders manufactured by Sagemcom, Plume designed Pods and SuperPods manufactured by CIG, Sagemcom and Sercomm, and the Samsung SmartThings Wifi AI based mesh system with IoT hub. The hardware featured in the demo use Wi-Fi silicon from three different leading SoC platforms. Master coordination of the network is performed by the Plume Cloud, and features such as Adaptive WiFi performance optimization, HomePass guest and access controls, advanced parental controls with profiles, device and network security features are visible through the Plume App and Samsung SmartThings App. Samsung's open SmartThings IoT ecosystem, compatible with hundreds of third-party devices from popular brands complements this unprecedented demonstration of a multi-industry, multi-vendor, multi-service, multi-silicon, and open-interface cloud managed home network facilitated by the OpenSync open source framework.

The initial release of OpenSync focuses on whole-home Wi-Fi networking, management and control, the collection of statistics using industry standard protocols such as MQTT, IoT device security, guest access management, and advanced parental controls. Through the accommodation of additional open source components including Open Virtual Switch (OvS) and OvSDB, and via its managers, OpenSync forms the foundation of a truly open ecosystem that extends the scope of this open source effort far beyond basic Wi-Fi mesh interoperability.

OpenSync - open service curation, delivery, management and support framework 

"Consumers today demand choice when bringing products and services into their home that work best for their lifestyle, without being locked into any one ecosystem," said Chanwoo Park, Vice President and Head of IoT Product & Service at Samsung Electronics. "Interoperability is central to our connected living strategy and extends to our smart home devices. SmartThings Wifi, our tightly integrated mesh Wi-Fi router and smart home hub, leverages the full OpenSync framework so people can implement the Wi-Fi solutions that work best with their home. The plug-n-play compatibility of our solution with other partners adopting OpenSync delivers the best experience for consumers."
