OpenX Switch

OLS firmware for supported switch hardware

OpenX Switch is built on OpenLAN Switching (OLS) — the Telecom Infra Project initiative that extends OpenWiFi's cloud-native, disaggregated management model to wired switches. Wifi-Soft doesn't manufacture switches: OpenX Switch runs on supported white-box switch hardware with a modern, SONiC-compatible network OS, so your switching layer stays as vendor-neutral as your WiFi already is.

On your own hardware

What it does

  • OLS-based switch firmware — no Wifi-Soft-branded switch to buy
  • Disaggregated architecture — hardware forwarding plane separate from the software control plane
  • Runs on a choice of compatible white-box switches and SONiC-compatible network OS
  • PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, sized for WiFi 6E/7 access points
  • Managed from the same CloudSDK controller as OpenX WiFi — one console for wired and wireless

Everything included with OpenX Switch

Full-featured out of the box — no add-on modules to buy separately.

Cloud-Native Management

Unified CloudSDK Control

The same open CloudSDK controller model manages switches and access points together.

Zero Touch Provisioning

New switches check in and pull their configuration automatically — no per-device CLI session.

Disaggregated Architecture

Forwarding plane and control plane are separate, so hardware and software choices aren't locked together.

Power & Connectivity

PoE++ (802.3bt) Power Delivery

High-power PoE built for next-generation WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 access points.

Enterprise L2/L3 Networking

802.1Q VLANs

Standard VLAN tagging for traffic separation across the switching layer.

Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG)

Link aggregation across chassis for redundancy without a single point of failure.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Port and traffic-level access policy enforced at the switch.

IGMP Multicast

Multicast group management for streaming and multicast-dependent applications.

Hardware Freedom

Choice of White-Box Switches

Run OpenX Switch on any compatible white-box hardware instead of one vendor's box.

SONiC-Compatible Network OS

Built on the same open-source NOS lineage powering hyperscale data center switching.
