We are pleased to announce the First OpenAirInterface South African Hands-on Workshop from July 2nd to July 4th to be held at the prestigious Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Pretoria, South Africa.

This three-day workshop is designed to immerse you in the world of OAI, focusing on hands-on sessions covering OAI RAN, Core Network, and OAM. The hands-on sessions are the best way to gain practical experience, learn best practices from our experts, and enhance your skills in OAI code development. It is also the perfect occasion to collaborate and exchange ideas in a vibrant environment.

OpenAirInterface Software Alliance

The OpenAirInterface Software Alliance (OSA) is a non-profit consortium fostering a community of industrial as well as academic contributors for open source software and hardware development for the end-to-end 4G, 5G and beyond 3GPP cellular networks. The OpenAirInterface (OAI) software includes implementations of the core network (CN), the access network (RAN) and user equipment (UE). More recently, it further includes Orchestration and Management (O&M) as well as RAN Intelligent Control (RIC) software and cloud-native deployment frameworks.

Today the OAI stack is a leading exemplar open reference design for 3GPP and Open RAN specifications with broad adoption across Academia, Industry, as well as government organizations particularly in many parts of the globe.
