Pulling together its work over the last eight years with CORD, SDN and cloud, the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) today announced its fifth reference design: Converged Multi-Access and Core (COMAC). The COMAC initiative was designed to unify the various access and core technologies over both mobile and broadband networks.
Along with Sprint, ONF also announced today the launch of its Open Mobile Evolved Core (OMEC) platform, which was created to become an open source production-grade evolved packet core (EPC) for the telecom industry. OMEC is also an upstream project that will be used by COMAC.
