SoftAtHome has strengthened it’s collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to accelerate operator rollouts of prpl-based broadband solutions on both sides of the Atlantic.
Both companies hold strategic roles within the prpl Foundation: Qualcomm Technologies is a Platinum Board Member and supporter of the Fast Track Reference Board, while SoftAtHome chairs the Marketing Committee and contributes to the prplWare stack. The partnership spans prplMesh and the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), pairing Qualcomm’s chipset expertise and open-source driver support with SoftAtHome’s carrier-grade software used by Tier-1 operators.
The firms said two customer deployments are already underway and due to go live in the coming months. SoftAtHome’s value-added services running on Qualcomm platforms will be showcased at next week’s prpl Summit and Network X events in Paris.
“By combining our leadership in Wi-Fi, 5G, fibre, edge AI and integrated networking platforms with extensive open-source support, and SoftAtHome’s deep expertise on prplWare, we’re enabling operators to deliver more flexible, scalable and standards-based solutions,” said Ganesh Swaminathan, VP and GM of Wireless, Infrastructure and Network at Qualcomm Technologies.
SoftAtHome CEO Arnaud Bellivier de Prin added: “By combining our strengths, we help operators rapidly deploy innovative, open and carrier-grade services for the connected home.”
