Next level Wi-Fi R&D

Wi-Fi simulations only provide partial answers. Commercial chips behave as a black box with limited low-level control.

openwifi's openness unlocks endless possibilities for R&D, spanning from management algorithms, over novel capabilities to sensing.

Specialization for demanding markets

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is slowly entering the wireless domain, but commercial chips continue to focus on the mass market.

Today, openwifi offers a unique set of wireless TSN features and extensive low-level and fine-grained time-based control and monitoring.
