The free5GC project, the world's leading open-source 5G core network, has officially joined the Linux Foundation. This move, announced during the Open Source Summit Europe, is set to provide robust, open-source alternatives for 5G deployments globally.
In conjunction with this strategic move, the project has released free5GC v4.1.0. This latest version introduces several bug fixes and a significant new feature: New Radio Dual Connectivity (NR-DC), enhancing the stability and capabilities of the 5G core network in alignment with 3GPP R15+ standards.
The project continues to support containerized deployment via Kubernetes and Docker, facilitating modern cloud-native integration. The ongoing development roadmap includes further enhancements such as roaming capabilities, demonstrating a commitment to advancing open-source 5G core network software.
