OCP Evenstar Workstream Call (Dec 12, 2025)

Why It Matters

Clarifying OCP’s restructuring and reviewing the autonomous RU proposal will shape governance and technical direction for open radio-unit development, while Nvidia’s prototype could accelerate a practical hardware reference for deployments. Progress on these items affects collaboration, procurement choices, and timelines for member organizations deploying private wireless solutions.

Summary

The Evenstar Workstream met Dec. 12 with co-chair Tom Nato filling in; the group had no formal agenda but discussed several pending items from recent weeks. Members flagged an “autonomous RU” paper with comments to be circulated and reviewed in January, and agreed to invite a guest from Kalpoli with private-wireless deployment experience to participate. Nato said OCP is undergoing a reorganization and will schedule a Jan. meeting with OCP presenters to explain the new structure. The team also tried—but failed—to schedule a follow-up with Nvidia about a demo prototype (Nvidia plus XYlinks hardware) that could serve as an open radio unit prototype and plans to re-invite Nvidia to present to the workstream.
