LF Networking plans ONE Summit India and co-sponsors Cloud Native Telco Day

LF Networking announced two regional events aimed at catalyzing open, AI-driven cloud-native networks: ONE Summit India, slated for 25 February 2025 at the Infosys campus in Bengaluru, and co-sponsorship of Cloud Native Telco Day on 23 March 2026 at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe.

LF Networking said the Open Networking & Edge (ONE) Summit had served for over a decade as a global forum for open networking, edge, cloud, and telco practitioners, and that ONE Summit India extended this legacy with an in-region program intended to accelerate collaboration across India's telecom, cloud, and enterprise networking communities.

The event agenda listed topics that included AI-native and cloud-native networks, describing the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and cloud-native architectures to core, edge, and Radio Access Network (RAN); telco cloud and edge deployments with operator case studies; open source building blocks from LF Networking and adjacent Linux Foundation projects such as cloud-native orchestration, observability, security, and edge platforms; plus developer and operator collaboration sessions and demonstrations.

LF Networking said it would co-sponsor Cloud Native Telco Day with the Sylva Project and described the program as bringing together telecommunications providers, cloud and edge platform leaders, open source communities, and ecosystem partners to explore cloud-native technologies; the organization said co-sponsorship would highlight cloud-native telco architectures and open source building blocks, provide a forum for operators, vendors, and developers to share best practices and deployment stories, and advance AI-native and automation-driven approaches to planning, operating, and securing networks in cloud-native environments.

“India is at the center of some of the world's most ambitious network modernization and AI transformation initiatives,” said Arpit Joshipura, general manager, Networking, Edge & Internet of Things (IoT), the Linux Foundation.

“Between ONE Summit India and Cloud Native Telco Day 2026 in Amsterdam, we're doubling down on our commitment to regional engagement with a strong, globally connected roadmap for AI-native and cloud-native networks,” said Arpit Joshipura, general manager, Networking, Edge & IoT, the Linux Foundation. LF Networking said the events would offer multiple entry points for the community to collaborate and contribute.
