A Message from Tengtai Hsu, VP of Product, Edgecore Networks
To our partners and the networking community,
When TIP OpenWiFi began, I had the privilege to work with the community to build and validate an open Wi-Fi architecture. From a bold idea, OpenWiFi has matured into a robust, stable ecosystem ready for real-world networks.
We’re at a turning point. MSPs, ISPs, and enterprises are frustrated with proprietary systems, rigid licenses, and costly lock-ins that limit innovation. As open-source powers advances in cloud, infrastructure, and AI, Wi-Fi must embrace this open approach.
Professionals seek networks that align with their expertise and adapt to their needs. For MSPs, it’s not just about cost—they want full control to leverage their unique skills and innovate for customers. Vendor lock-in drives up costs and stifles industry progress, but MSPs demand an open platform to transform their expertise into customer value quickly.
That’s why Edgecore Wi-Fi is leading the OpenWiFi Movement and introducing the Full-Stack OpenWiFi POC Kit.
OpenWiFi may be new to some, but it is proven, with a solid ecosystem, reliable technology, and tested stability. The POC Kit simplifies adoption, allowing MSPs, ISPs, and enterprises to deploy an OpenWiFi network in hours, not months. More than a tool, it’s an invitation to validate OpenWiFi, explore scalability, and envision networks built on openness, free from lock-in.
The POC Kit aims to expand OpenWiFi adoption by lowering entry barriers, enabling professionals to experience how an open platform enhances their expertise and opens new opportunities. It offers a practical way to test OpenWiFi before full deployment, with each POC driving faster innovation and strengthening the global OpenWiFi community.
With the OpenWiFi Movement’s launch, we invite professionals worldwide to unite, share ideas, dismantle proprietary barriers, and create networks that meet today’s needs while shaping tomorrow’s possibilities.
This is more than Wi-Fi—it’s a declaration of independence from lock-in, empowering professionals to shape their future with confidence.
Let’s build it together.
Sincerely,
Tengtai Hsu
Vice President of Product, Edgecore Networks
