Open-source developer community. Reference tools, testbeds and applications for connected media experiences.

Why the Media Connectivity Software Accelerator

Media and network technologies move fast, and open source usually arrives only after a standard is frozen — with additional cost at every stage along the way. The Accelerator closes both gaps.

Early feedback and validation

Implementation evidence that informs specification development before standards are finalised.

Software projects & Dev community

A community of standards experts, developers and implementers, building software projects together.

No duplication and fast deployment

Shared reference implementations mean no one builds the same thing twice — ready for real-world adoption and scale.

Open by design and IPR-friendly

IPR-friendly licensing designed for broad industry participation.

Only for 5G-MAG Members and under invitation
