RDK

+ New items, * Changed items, ‡ Cloud dependency, § Device dependency

is a community-based project that allows developers, vendors and cable operators to use a defined stack of software on one layer in order to provision set-top boxes and gateways. Unique features of RDK such as commitment to open source, speed and flexibility of RDK-based devices makes it stand out from the conventional settop software stacks.

  • The RDK is a standardized open source software stack that sits below the MVPD application/services layer and provides a common interface to SoC’s, acting as a universal SoC adapter that allows portability across hardware platforms.
  • The RDK Broadband standardized stack provides complex broadband and management functions such as Mesh Networks, WiFi Management, and Device Management.

The RDK Broadband Feature List is categorized by the below functions, Enhancements and new features are developed and contributed asynchronously by members of the RDK Community.
