We are pleased to announce the 2nd free5GC World Forum, a premier forum bringing together researchers, industry professionals, open-source developers, and practitioners to explore the latest advances, challenges, and future directions in 5G/6G mobile networks and next-generation networked systems.
The forum focuses on the development, deployment, and evolution of open, programmable, secure, and intelligent mobile network infrastructures, with particular emphasis on 5G core networks, private mobile networks, cloud-native networking, network automation, and emerging AI-native network architectures.
free5GC (https://free5gc.org), a project hosted by the Linux Foundation, is a fully 3GPP-compliant open-source 5G Standalone (SA) core network platform. It provides researchers, developers, educators, and industry partners with a production-quality platform for designing, implementing, evaluating, and deploying next-generation mobile networking technologies. By enabling open experimentation and innovation, free5GC has become a global platform accelerating research, education, standardization, and commercialization in 5G and beyond.
To further support education and workforce development, Linux Foundation Education has launched Introduction to free5GC (LFS114) a free, self-paced online course designed for developers, network engineers, researchers, and technologists seeking hands-on experience with modern 5G Core architecture.
Recent innovations built upon free5GC, such as L25GC+ (https://github.com/nycu-ucr/L25GC-plus), demonstrate how open-source mobile network platforms can enable the exploration of novel architectures, including significant reductions in control-plane latency while maintaining 3GPP compliance. Such efforts highlight the potential of open platforms to advance network performance, programmability, scalability, and security.
The forum provides a unique opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, present innovative research and real-world experiences, and shape the future development of open-source mobile networks and next-generation communication systems.
