The Reference Design Kit, an open source software platform for video and broadband devices, is now in 200 million devices worldwide via support by more than 700 device makers, chip suppliers, software developers and service providers.
Ahead of IBC2025 and the 2025 RDK Global Summit, RDK Management (RDK) announced that RDK open-source software, used to power customer-premises equipment (CPE) from broadband and video service providers, has been shipped on more than 200 million devices globally to date.
RDK open-source software standardizes many of the core functions used in broadband and video devices. By standardizing these core functions, service providers can develop and deploy a consistent set of applications and services across geographies, hardware, SoC suppliers, and video and broadband access networks (GPON, DOCSIS, DSL, and fixed wireless). RDK enables service providers to manage their devices; control their own UI/UX and app experiences; and harmonize device telemetry and analytics to improve the customer experience and business results.
There are now more than 700 technology companies within the RDK community that span leading silicon companies, CE manufacturers, software developers, system integrators, and service providers. Service providers with publicly announced RDK deployments include: Atlantic Broadband, BCN, Claro, Comcast, Charter, Cox, Deutsche Telekom, Fetch, Foxtel, J:COM, KabelPlus, Liberty Global, Mediacom, Megacable, Multichoice, Melita, NOS, Nuuday, Orange, Rogers, SFR (part of Altice Europe), Shaw, Sky, Stofa, Telcom Argentina, Toya, Vectra, Vidéotron, Vodafone, VOO, VTR, WOW, Xumo, Ziggo, and others.
