In advance of the annual RDK Global Summit, RDK Management announced that Vodafone has adopted RDK-B as its central software for managing home broadband customer premises equipment (CPE) and launching new customer-focussed services faster and more cost-effectively.

As one of Europe's largest fixed broadband providers, serving many millions of broadband customers, Vodafone will extend its use of RDK-B open-source software throughout Europe in a phased rollout, starting in spring 2025. By using RDK-B open-source software across its markets, Vodafone will be able to introduce new services and applications such as lower latency in multiple countries at the same time.

RDK is an open-source software solution deployed on more than 100 million devices that standardizes core functions used in broadband and video devices. For broadband specifically, RDK-B provides core functionalities including device management, telemetry, Wi-Fi services, Ethernet access, IPv6 transitioning and more that work across all major network access technologies including DOCSIS, GPON, DSL, and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). By packaging and open sourcing these functions in a single standard software stack, service providers can develop, deploy, and manage a consistent set of broadband services across SoCs and OEMs for use across their networks and geographic footprints.
