Plume has joined the RDK community as a Preferred Plus Member. As a Preferred Plus member, Plume will collaborate on RDK’s open-source software (RDK-B) for broadband service providers by contributing code and sharing technical expertise based on its work with hundreds of internet service providers (ISPs) worldwide and intelligence from more than 500 million devices.

“RDK closely aligns with Plume’s mission to deliver a smart and frictionless end-to-end experience for ISPs and their subscribers,” said Chris Griffiths, Chief Technology Officer at Plume. “Service providers are under immense pressure to deliver amid increased complexity in the home and competition. The future will not be defined by bandwidth and speeds, but by winning on features and customer experience. Plume is excited to work on these challenges with the RDK community as a technical contributor and by sharing its experience working with hundreds of ISPs globally.”

With bandwidth demands constantly changing, increasing complexity within the home and fierce competition, Plume’s participation in RDK will include technical support and contributions and also support efforts to promote the work to the broadband community through first-party and industry channels.

“Plume is well-recognized for its pioneering adaptive Wi-Fi management to help operators deliver a better experience for their subscribers,” added Jason Briggs, President and General Manager of RDK Management. “Given the company’s experience working with hundreds of operators around the world, we expect their contributions to have a meaningful impact on the future of RDK-B and our global community.”

Plume’s cloud platform brings smart Wi-Fi management, security, and insights to service providers that help them deliver better experiences to subscribers while streamlining operations and delivering superior support.

RDK is an open source software that standardises core functions for connected homes used in broadband and video devices, and has been deployed in more than 200 million devices globally. By unifying broadband functions into a single open-source software stack, RDK enables cable, satellite, and telecommunications operators to develop, deploy and manage consistent broadband services that improve customer experience and drive business results. The RDK community is composed of more than 700 companies including CPE manufacturers, SoC vendors, software developers, system integrators and service providers.
