[Copenhagen, Denmark, June 30, 2026] Led by Huawei and industry partners, the OpenAN project has been officially released. Concurrently, the inaugural meeting of OpenAN’ s eight founding members was successfully held, where participants discussed the open-source community’s governance system and operation model, code contribution and version control rules, annual targets as well as implementation roadmaps.
Global Communication Service Providers (CSPs) have identified network agents as a core enabler to achieve Autonomous Networks (AN) Level 4, and are building comprehensive agent capabilities across the three-layers AN architecture. Nevertheless, they are confronted with prominent challenges including inconsistent interconnection standards, difficulties in cross-layer and cross-domain integration, and low reusability of common components.
Against this backdrop, the OpenAN project was launched. Targeting the accelerated delivery of smart link, agile build, large-scale collaboration and deterministic execution of telecom agents, the project delivers a set of out-of-the-box open-source components. It will drive widespread adoption of the A2A-T standard and slash costs for agent development and integration.
