Terragraph, Evenstar software moves over to the Linux Foundation
The Linux Foundation launched a new open-source project that brings together Meta’s Terragraph and some software from Meta’s Evenstar under a new project umbrella called “LF Connectivity.”
Meta’s Terragraph is a fixed wireless access (FWA) service that delivers multi-gigabit-speed data using 60 GHz unlicensed millimeter wave spectrum. Terragraph works by using its transmitters, which are typically deployed on street-lights or rooftops, to create a distributed network. It can extend a fiber network wirelessly through these nodes to provide last mile connectivity.
