Open by Design. Smart by Deployment.
Edgecore offers the enterprise network switch that supports the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) OpenLAN Switching (OLS). OpenLAN Switching (OLS) and OLS SONiC bring the power of open networking to enterprise LAN environments. Building on the success of OpenWiFi, OLS delivers a fully open, cloud-native switching solution designed for Wi-Fi 6/7 networks, high-performance applications, and modern enterprise needs. OLS SONiC enhances this foundation by combining enterprise-grade Layer 2 features with SONiC’s robust Layer 3 capabilities—offering scalable, vendor-neutral networking with centralized cloud management. With OLS, IT professionals can enjoy a competitive and differentiated wiring closet switching solution, enabling more diverse and flexible network deployment options.
OpenLAN Switching (OLS) builds on the success of OpenWiFi to deliver an open-source, multi-vendor LAN switching solution with full interoperability and validated end-to-end systems. Designed for the next generation of networks, OLS supports Wi-Fi 6/7 APs with PoE++ power, integrates Wi-Fi and switching under a unified controller, and enables low-latency, high-bandwidth applications. Moving beyond traditional wiring closet switches, OLS addresses the unique needs of sectors like education, retail, and hospitality, with scalable solutions for millions of commercial buildings. The portfolio features two switch classes: Base models for entry-level needs and Advanced models based on SONiC NOS for enhanced features and optimized performance.
While open-source and whitebox networking solutions have reshaped data center environments, the enterprise LAN switching market has remained largely unchanged.
OLS aims to bridge this gap—delivering an open, cloud-native alternative for wiring closet deployments across millions of commercial buildings worldwide.
Through OLS, businesses can finally transform their enterprise networks with the flexibility, scalability, and innovation of open networking.
