Network operators, integrators and software vendors have joined forces to create Leitstand, an open-source community that aims to increase the efficiency of developing, buying and running network management systems for next generation carrier networks.

It will provide the tools needed to operate the underlying infrastructure in a disaggregated telecoms network, including zero-touch provisioning of infrastructure, inventory management, operational visibility of network elements, alarm monitoring, fault diagnosis and software version management.

The Leitstand toolset will be provided in an open-source model, freely available to any operator, equipment vendor and systems integrator.

Initial contributors to the Leitstand initiative include Deutsche Telekom, EWE TEL, Reply, and RtBrick.

"In the past, equipment providers developed bespoke management systems to assist carriers in operating their networks," said Hannes Gredler, founder and chief technology officer at RtBrick.
