free5GC Joins The Linux Foundation, Releases v4.1.0

The free5GC project, an open-source implementation of the 5G core network, has officially joined the Linux Foundation. This move, announced at the Open Source Summit Europe, signals a significant step towards providing open-source alternatives for 5G deployments. In conjunction with this announcement, the project has released version 4.1.0, which introduces bug fixes and a new feature: New Radio Dual Connectivity (NR-DC). This release enhances the stability and functionality of the 5G core network, aligning it with 3GPP Release 15 standards. The project's support for containerized deployment via Kubernetes and Docker further solidifies its position as a key player in the cloud-native 5G ecosystem.
