Making the OpenRAN Truly Open - A revolutionary interoperability solution bridging L1 and L2 components from different vendors
xFAPI is an innovative open-source project designed to solve interoperability challenges in OpenRAN, specifically between Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) components from different vendors. Acting as a translator for different inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms, xFAPI eliminates vendor lock-in and enables truly open RAN deployments.
Seamlessly translates between different IPC mechanisms (shared memory, sockets) and API standards
Enables communication across vendor-specific L1 and L2 implementations, breaking vendor lock-in
Built-in dashboard with statistics, debugging tools, and simulation mode for testing
Comprehensive interoperability for truly open RAN deployments
Supports multiple IPC mechanisms including shared memory and sockets for flexible integration
Translates between different vendor API standards enabling seamless L1-L2 communication
Comprehensive statistics and debugging tools with real-time monitoring capabilities
Test compatibility and validate integrations before production deployment
Successfully integrated with FlexRAN v22.11 and v23.07 with ongoing OAI L1 compatibility
Fully open-source project enabling community collaboration and transparent development
Advanced capabilities extending xFAPI for cutting-edge use cases
Integrates AI/ML framework with data lake for intelligent network optimization and predictive analytics
Implements post-quantum cryptography to future-proof RAN security against quantum threats
Enables kernel-level packet filtering and monitoring for enhanced performance and security
Applies quantum machine learning techniques for advanced network optimization
Break free from vendor lock-in and enable true multi-vendor RAN deployments with xFAPI
