Cloud-agnostic open-source software for the delivery, curation, and management of services for the modern home.
OpenSync™ is an open-source software that delivers and manages your evolving offer of home connectivity and entertainment services. OpenSync™ acts as silicon, CPE, and cloud-agnostic connection between the in-home hardware devices, and the cloud. Use OpenSync™ to collect measurements and statistics from the connected user devices and network management elements, and to enable customized connectivity services. OpenSync™ is your partner when introducing Wi-Fi mesh networks, access control, cybersecurity, parental controls, automated IoT onboarding, and telemetry.

Scope
OpenSync™ spans across layers from just above the firmware drivers to the cloud connection. The software operates with the following device segments:
Measurements/Statistics/Telemetry
Collecting measurements reported by the low-level drivers
Compiling and pre-processing the measurements into statistics that are uniform across different devices
Presenting the statistics using standardized formats
Preparing the formatted statistics for transfer to the cloud using serialization and packetizing
Communicating the statistics to the cloud using standardized and efficient telemetry
Management/Control
Defining a standard interface for control messaging from the cloud
Providing operations necessary to manage the services, such as onboarding and provisioning
Providing rules-based networking configurations to block, filter, forward, and prioritize the messages
Implementing software to manage the device maintenance functions, including logging, firmware upgrades, and debugging
Cloud-managed Services
Wi-Fi, including mesh networks that dynamically adapt to their environments
User access management
Cybersecurity
Parental controls
IoT device management
