Paris, France. 14 February 2024. United by a common goal to advance open source software in telecommunications, Firecell and Canonical will demonstrate at this year’s Mobile Wireless Congress (MWC) event in Barcelona, 5G private mobile network (PMN) solutions running on Canonical’s Ubuntu operating system.

As a member of OAI, Canonical is expanding its telecommunication software portfolio, adding mobile networking software to the set of open source tools and solutions that the company offers to the industry.

Firecell offers PMN solutions based on the open source software distributed by OAI for both indoor and outdoor connectivity.
