Explore current funding opportunities supporting open source wireless innovation across the OCUDU ecosystem. Check back regularly for new solicitations, programs, and opportunities to advance research, development, testing, and real-world deployment.
The objective of this Phase II effort is to design, validate, and demonstrate a fully open-source, private 5G network platform for Resilient Tactical Edge Networks—integrating OCUDU, SD-Core, SD-RAN, and OSC components—to provide highly reliable, cost-effective, and scalable wide-area connectivity for autonomous field equipment, precision crop intelligence, and livestock monitoring. This platform will be validated at a representative rural site against specific key performance metrics, establishing a secure, interoperable, and procurement-ready reference architecture that supports both commercial precision agriculture and dual-use DoW mission-support applications.
Proposers should address at least two of the following four use cases in their Phase II Statement of Work, and must identify which use case(s) their reference architecture and pilot deployment are designed to validate.

Two Phase II opportunities are open for proposals focused on demonstrating open source private 5G platforms built with OCUDU and complementary open source technologies.
Opens: September 23, 2026
Closes: October 21, 2026
The objective of this Phase II effort is to design, validate, and demonstrate a fully open-source, private 5G network platform for smart manufacturing that integrates OCUDU, SD-Core, SD-RAN, and OSC components into a secure, vendor-neutral architecture.
Proposers must address at least two of the following four use cases in their Phase II Statement of Work and must identify which use case(s) their reference architecture and pilot deployment are designed to validate.
Opportunity Window: September 23–October 21, 2026
The objective of this Phase II effort is to design, validate, and demonstrate a secure, high-density private 5G network platform for stadiums and large venues—integrating open-source OCUDU, SD-Core, SD-RAN, and OSC components—to deliver resilient, multi-service communication alongside a 6G-ready Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) architecture.
This platform will be validated at a representative venue site to prove stable performance under extreme device congestion, enable native device localization for crowd analytics, and establish a cost-effective, vendor-neutral dual-use framework for both commercial entertainment venues and dense military installation environments.
Proposers must address at least two of the following four use cases in their Phase II Statement of Work and must identify which use case(s) their reference architecture and pilot deployment are designed to validate.
Opportunity Window: September 23–October 21, 2026
