LF Networking Expands Portfolio with New StratoWeave Project, Contributed by Deutsche Telekom, to Advance Open, AI-Native Transport Network Automation

About this update from Deutsche Telekom Ag

StratoWeave brings model-driven, declarative automation to help communications service providers reduce complexity, avoid vendor lock-in, and accelerate closed-loop network operations SAN FRANCISCO, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Linux Foundation Networking (LFN), the facilitator of collaboration and operational excellence across open source networking projects, today announced that StratoWeave, an open source software platform for automating the configuration and management of large-scale, complex networks and services, contributed by LFN member organization Deutsche Telekom, has joined the LF Networking project umbrella as a Candidate project. StratoWeave is an open source software platform for automating the configuration and management of large-scale, complex networks and services. As network architectures become more distributed, cloud native, and AI-enabled, communications service providers (CSPs) face growing pressure to simplify operations, accelerate service delivery, and reduce dependence on proprietary automation platforms. StratoWeave addresses these challenges by providing a vendor-agnostic, open source alternative for service and device orchestration, giving operators more control over their automation roadmap and the flexibility to adapt as network requirements evolve. "StratoWeave is a strong addition to the LF Networking ecosystem because it addresses one of the most persistent challenges in telecom: how to automate complex networks and services in a way that is open, scalable, and adaptable," said Arpit Joshipura, SVP and General Manager, Networking, Edge, and IoT at , the Linux Foundation. "By bringing declarative, model-driven orchestration into an open community, StratoWeave creates new opportunities for collaboration across LFN projects and helps advance our shared vision for AI-native, zero-touch network operations." Built around model-driven, declarative 'transforms,' StratoWeave enables CSPs to define the intended end state of a network or service, while the platform determines how to reach and maintain that state across multi-vendor, multi-domain environments. StratoWeave's architecture is designed to support layered service models, closed-loop automation, and reusable automation code for common operator services and device integrations. The project's approach helps reduce the effort required to introduce new features, devices...
