Data Centers

Data center infrastructure is no longer a separate conversation from the wired edge. The same operators running broadband access are running edge compute. The same regulators demanding CRA-aligned security at the gateway are asking the same questions about the storage fabric behind it. And AI-era workloads have collapsed the old distinction between “networking” and “storage” into a single problem of moving verifiably correct data with verifiably low latency.

prpl Foundation

The prpl Foundation is the open-source community for carrier-grade customer premise equipment. Its stacks — prplOS, prplMesh, prpl Life-Cycle Management, prplSecurity, collectively prplWare — are the reference software most tier-one operators building open CPE are either deploying or evaluating. If the Foundation has a natural upstream in the CPE and broadband-gateway space, this is it.

CRA readiness is not a checklist — it is an operating model change

The EU Cyber Resilience Act and parallel US NIST guidance do not just add paperwork — they rewire how wired-edge products are built, shipped, and operated. Here is how the foundation is responding, and what members can reuse today.

Why interop across wired technologies matters more than ever

A retrofit job at a mid-sized utility exposed the real cost of single-technology thinking. Cross-media interop is not a nice-to-have — it is the dominant deployment constraint for everyone with an existing plant.

Why we started the foundation

The wired edge is quietly becoming the most important layer of the AI era — and no existing body is set up to steward it across technologies. Here is why we decided to start one.
