The SONiC Foundation announced Supranett joining as a Premier Member along with three new General Members to expand open

The Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) Foundation, an open source network operating system hosted under the Linux Foundation, announced on July 28, 2026 that Supranett has joined the Foundation as a Premier Member. The Foundation also welcomed Exaware, TeraHop and Infrawaves as General Members, expanding the global ecosystem advancing open networking across AI infrastructure, cloud, enterprise and telecommunications.

AI infrastructure is scaling rapidly and organizations are increasingly adopting open, interoperable networking platforms that can support large GPU clusters while providing flexibility across hardware vendors. SONiC has emerged as a leading open source network operating system for AI and cloud environments, enabling organizations to build high-performance networks without vendor lock-in.

Arpit Joshipura, general manager of networking, edge and IoT at the Linux Foundation, said: "As AI infrastructure becomes increasingly critical, open networking is essential to delivering the scale, performance and flexibility organizations need. We're excited to welcome Supranett as a Premier Member alongside Exaware, TeraHop and Infrawaves. Their participation strengthens the SONiC community and accelerates innovation for the next generation of AI and cloud networking."

As a Premier Member, Supranett will help shape the future direction of the SONiC ecosystem by contributing AI-optimized networking capabilities upstream and collaborating with the community on next-generation AI-native networking architectures. The company's expertise in building large-scale AI infrastructure and production deployments will advance SONiC's capabilities for increasingly demanding AI workloads.

Yue Gong, CEO of Supranett, stated: "At SUPRANETT, we believe the future of AI demands a network as open and dynamic as the models it powers. By joining the SONiC Foundation as a Premier Member, we are committing our technical expertise to build AI-native fabrics that unlock the full potential of next generation GPU architectures. Our goal is to ensure maximum efficiency and scalability for AI data centers worldwide."

Ronen Hovav, CEO of Exaware, added: "SONiC is an important open source-based building-block for DC/AI networking. We join the SONiC community to provide an end-to-end certified networking solution — hardware, software, support and a day-one working system on site. We're glad to build that with the rest of the community."

The addition of these new members reflects growing global adoption of SONiC across production environments spanning hyperscale cloud providers, enterprises, telecommunications networks and AI data centers. Together, these organizations expand the Foundation's technical expertise and reinforce industry momentum behind open, vendor-neutral networking.
