Pune (Maharashtra) [India], February 6: Indio Networks, a leading Indian OEM specializing in open and disaggregated networking solutions, today announced the successful completion of a production-ready OpenWiFi integration with Edgecore Networks. This collaboration accelerates the adoption of open, interoperable Wi-Fi and LAN networking solutions for managed service providers (MSPs), system integrators, and enterprise customers worldwide. Through this integration, Indio Networks will offer its latest-generation OpenWiFi cloud platform, Indio Cloud, with Edgecore's OpenWiFi-certified Wi-Fi access points and Open LAN Switching (OLS) Ethernet switches. The combined solution enables enterprises, campuses, service providers, and public-sector organizations to deploy open, disaggregated, cloud-managed infrastructure that deliver high performance networks while reducing vendor lock-in and simplifying licensing and operations. Enabling Enterprise-Scale OpenWiFi Deployments TIP OpenWiFi is gaining traction as a cost-efficient, open alternative to proprietary enterprise networking platforms. However, many organizations encounter challenges when scaling OpenWiFi beyond pilot or proof-of-concept environments. Indio Networks and Edgecore Networks address this gap by delivering a fully validated, production-ready solution that combines Indio's OpenWiFi cloud platform with Edgecore's high-performance access points and network switches. The solution supports centralized management through a single cloud console and includes built-in services such as AAA, captive portals, access policy enforcement, and billing support. Backed by India-based technical expertise, Indio also provides deployment assistance, optimization services, and ongoing operational support for Edgecore customers. "Indio Networks' global partnership with Edgecore marks a significant step in advancing OpenWiFi adoption worldwide. Together, we are delivering a production-ready OpenWiFi solution by integrating our award-winning cloud management platform with Edgecore's enterprise-grade access points and switches. This enables enterprises and service providers to deploy secure, scalable, and operationally efficient open networks with confidence," said Rishi Ghare, CEO, Indio Networks. "A production-ready integration is key to accelerating OpenWiFi at scale," said Teng Tai Hsu, Vice President at Edgecore Networks. "By validating Indio's cloud platform with Edgecore's OpenWiFi-certified access points and Open LAN Switching portfolio, we enable faster, large-scale deployments with consistency across distributed environments. We look forward to working closely with Indio to bring this value to service providers and enterprise customers across the EMEA region." Unified Cloud Management for Wi-Fi and LAN Switching The Indio Cloud platform delivers a unified management experience across wireless and wired networks, enabling IT teams and MSPs to manage distributed environments from a single dashboard. Key capabilities include: * Centralized cloud management for Wi-Fi and LAN switching * Zero-touch provisioning for rapid, large-scale deployments * Real-time monitoring, analytics, and centralized policy control * Flexible deployment across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments * Lower total cost of ownership through disaggregated hardware and software This unified approach simplifies operations while delivering consistent, reliable performance across enterprise campuses, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues, smart cities, and large public infrastructure projects. OpenWiFi at Scale Advisory Program Indio Networks and Edgecore Networks are jointly introducing the OpenWiFi at Scale Advisory Program, designed to help service providers transition from pilot deployments to full commercial rollouts. The program offers one-to-one technical advisory engagements tailored to each customer's network architecture and business objectives. Led by engineering teams from both companies, it focuses on deployment readiness, solution architecture design, Indio Cloud onboarding, and operational best practices. The initiative also supports pilot planning with a clear path toward scalable, revenue-generating OpenWiFi deployments. Strategic Focus on India and the EMEA Region The collaboration prioritizes India and the EMEA region, where demand for open, cloud-managed networking is growing rapidly across enterprise, public-sector, and educational environments. Indio Networks will leverage its local expertise and partner ecosystem in India, while collaborating with MSPs and system integrators across EMEA to deliver scalable, turnkey OpenWiFi deployments. Supported by Edgecore's globally deployed hardware portfolio, the joint solution accelerates the shift toward open, standards-based networking across India, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Availability Indio's OpenWiFi software, integrated with certified Edgecore Wi-Fi access points and Ethernet switches, is available immediately for enterprise and campus deployments worldwide. Indio Networks will provide platform licensing, system integration, and ongoing support, while Edgecore Networks will supply hardware through its global distribution network.
