OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation Announces OCUDU 26.10, Bringing Satellite Connectivity and New 5G Capabilities to Open Source RAN

The OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation, hosted by the Linux Foundation, announced the OCUDU 26.10 release of its open source RAN CU/DU platform, adding 3GPP Release 17 non-terrestrial network support for 5G satellite connectivity, O-RAN Split 7.2b, 8T8R MIMO with enhanced beamforming and multi-beam operation, native 5G positioning, and security and latency improvements such as continuous fuzz testing, OSS-Fuzz participation and DTLS signaling encryption. The Linux Foundation says the foundation has welcomed 95 new members and doubled the technical project's active contributor count since launching, with participating organizations expanding tenfold, and it will co-host the OCUDU Ecosystem Developer Summit with Virginia Tech and the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative on October 20-22 in Alexandria, Virginia.
