RDK
As Europe’s largest RDK R&D team, we work with Operators, Silicon Vendors and OEMs through the entire product development journey from proof of concept to deployment.
With full-stack knowledge of RDK, we work with all stakeholders in the RDK ecosystem:
Silicon vendors
We’ve worked closely with several silicon vendors to help them deliver RDK compliant drivers and maintain compliance as requirements evolve.
OEMs
We help OEMs integrate RDK on to their devices and recently we worked with Skyworth on the first Amlogic RDK video accelerator. We also work with technology providers to pre-integrate their technology with the RDK.
Operators
One of the great benefits of RDK is the choice it gives operators – every operator is different, and one size doesn’t fit all. We work with operators to help assess and understand the RDK. We undertake customization, network integration, and we’ve helped operators launch RDK products all across Europe.

We’re leaders in Middleware solutions and were awarded ‘Best Product and Service Quality’ at the LG Tech Summit for our contributions to their Horizon 4 platform.
More control for growth
The home gateway occupies a unique place in the home and with the growth in edge technologies it is poised to offer consumers a range of exciting new services. But to capitalise on this technology operators need an edge ready solution that they can control. Vendor lock-ins and lifelong contracts can stand in the way of innovation. RDK-B allows you to undertake the development and delivery of your own broadband router, with management of everything from the network interface to the backend. RDK-B supports DOCSIS, GPON, EPON, xDSL in a single stack. This means you can tailor the offering to your subscribers, delighting the customer and boosting revenue streams.
As one of the leading RDK-B solutions providers, we have the experience and expertise to develop unique solutions that put you in the driving seat.
Royalty-free solutions
We have capabilities to take you through every stage, from planning and design to implementation and delivery of RDK-B projects. You’ll have control of the entire process and will direct every aspect of the software delivery. With a royalty-free broadband network, you’ll also have better control over costs, and you can focus on driving quality and performance for the end-user.
