Open-source Toolbox for
Connected Media Applications
5G-MAG is filling the gap between the development of specifications and their conformance testing, validation and prototyping.
The open-source 5G-MAG Reference Tools development programme makes specifications accessible and tangible for developers and stakeholders across the world.
The implementation of the 5G-MAG Reference Tools is driven by developers. 5G-MAG members, as sponsors of the development programme, define the priorities and coordinate the development.
Standards validation & verification, early demonstrations and testing
Ready-to-use code in production environments and as benchmark
Shared development effort avoids duplication across companies
Transparency, trust and collaborative enhancements
The Projects and GitHub Repositories
