PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Plume today announced it has joined the RDK community as a Preferred Plus Member. As a Preferred Plus member, Plume will collaborate on RDK’s open-source software (RDK-B) for broadband service providers by contributing code and sharing technical expertise based on its work with hundreds of internet service providers (ISPs) worldwide and intelligence from more than 500 million devices.
This milestone underscores Plume’s commitment to advancing open-source collaboration and accelerating broadband software innovation by empowering ISPs with the tools they need for self-care, assisted-care and live support to optimize performance throughout the home.
“RDK closely aligns with Plume’s mission to deliver a smart and frictionless end-to-end experience for ISPs and their subscribers,” said Chris Griffiths, Chief Technology Officer at Plume. “Service providers are under immense pressure to deliver amid increased complexity in the home and competition. The future will not be defined by bandwidth and speeds, but by winning on features and customer experience. Plume is excited to work on these challenges with the RDK community as a technical contributor and by sharing its experience working with hundreds of ISPs globally.”
Plume’s membership comes at a pivotal time for the company as it shifts to a more open and collaborative strategy with its ISP customers and a focus on delivering a best-in-class Wi-Fi experience for subscribers. This approach includes support for industry standards like RDK-B and continued investment in OpenSync, integration with ISPs’ hardware and cloud providers of choice, and providing flexibility with modular and turnkey solutions that make working with Plume easier. It also comes at an important time for the RDK community, as operators worldwide seek scalable, interoperable, and smart solutions. Plume has direct experience proactively managing Wi-Fi across an ISPs network and at the individual endpoints.
With bandwidth demands constantly changing, increasing complexity within the home and fierce competition, Plume’s participation in RDK will include technical support and contributions and also support efforts to promote the work to the broadband community through first-party and industry channels.
“Plume is well-recognized for its pioneering adaptive Wi-Fi management to help operators deliver a better experience for their subscribers,” says Jason Briggs, President and General Manager of RDK Management. “Given the company’s experience working with hundreds of operators around the world, we expect their contributions to have a meaningful impact on the future of RDK-B and our global community.”
