What You'll Find Here
Reference Tools, Testbeds and Evaluation Tools, and Application Prototypes — under one open developer community. New here? See Using this Documentation for how a project's Scope, Resources and Tutorials pages fit together, and a suggested path through them.
Motivation
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.
