DECT World 2026 Pre-Event: Getting Started with NR+
Join us on November 2, 2026 in Munich for a free hands-on afternoon and evening that gives you a practical entry point into the DECT NR+ ecosystem — organized by the OPENER Initiative and hosted by the DECT Forum.
DECT NR+ materials from the RIOT Summit and Ariel OS Community Day now available
Slides and recordings of both DECT NR+ talks from the RIOT Summit and the Ariel OS Community Day in Grenoble are now online. One talk introduces the technology, the other shows how to use it.
OpenDECT-X, Explained: The Team, the Technology, and the Funding Behind It
OpenDECT-X is easy to misread at a glance: a project with "DECT" in the name, three partners of very different kinds, and public funding attached to it. Put together, these three facts explain what the project is and why it exists.
A Week in Dresden: ETSI TC DECT Plenary, a Consortium Meeting, and Evenings Among Peers
Dresden hosted three interwoven strands of OPENER Initiative and OpenDECT-X work across a single week, Tuesday to Thursday, 15 to 17 September 2026: three days of ETSI standardization, an evening among the community, and a face-to-face consortium meeting. None of it ran as one solid block of work. Sessions were repeatedly broken up, leaving plenty of room to connect.
DECT NR+ at the RIOT Summit and Ariel OS Community Day in Grenoble
Grenoble, France. The place where the open-source IoT community meets. And DECT NR+ finds space on the programme twice. From 1 to 3 September, two events share the same rooms at Polytech Grenoble: the Ariel OS Community Day and the RIOT Summit. Christian Amsüss speaks on both. On Tuesday about the implementations, on Wednesday about the technology itself.
Who builds OPENER — and why?
DECT NR+ is a technology. A standard, a specification, a promise on paper. And what it becomes is decided by the people who start writing real code.
What if wireless communication were as open as the internet itself?
DECT NR+ is a radio standard for industry, building automation, and professional audio — standardized by the European standards organization ETSI and officially recognized as a 5G technology by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R) since October 2021.
