A different style of working together

Where system integrators, operators and vendors meet to collaborate. Creating an open, future-proof ecosystem: We want to establish an innovative, open ecosystem by supporting a broader framework for certification and standardization, in collaboration with relevant industry bodies, of future disaggregated telco networks. How do we do this? By building and driving a vendor-independent environment that offers the perfect technical infrastructure and testing possibilities to all. Together we improve network disaggregation and grow the success of the ecosystem!

Unleashing the power of open collaboration.

Recognizing the demand for interoperable, open networks, we want to connect system integrators, international operators, vendors, and start-ups at the i14y Lab. Together we test, validate, and integrate components for disaggregated network ecosystems. This way we combine the optimal technical infrastructure, expertise, and visionary power in one open testing ground – while also minimizing costs, time, and effort for development of innovative ideas and business opportunities. 

A strong network of partners, supporters and developers

The i14y Lab is a truly open space hosted by Deutsche Telekom, which is also leading the consortium that runs the lab. The consortium includes three large operators – Vodafone, Telefónica and Deutsche Telekom – and other strong partners from across the industry. Together we test and integrate components for disaggregated network ecosystems to deliver more flexibility, innovation, and choice for all players – accelerating time to market for disaggregated network solutions.
