OHGF

The OpenHGF is a Forum of ISPs and vendors and Internet development organisations, spearheaded by Internet Systems Consortium (ISC), that aims to improve the rollout of new Internet technologies to home networks by providing stable, quality-assured Open Source software to be used in Home Gateways. It attains this goal by cooperating with, and leveraging, existing Open Source initiatives for Home Gateway devices.

Partnering with OpenHGF helps support the development of residential gateway solutions on an open source platform. With OpenHGF, communities will be able to draw upon the power of open source to build stronger connections to both their neighbors and the world at large. We are excited to be working closely with ComCast to pioneer this technology.
