Application automation platform company Robin.io has integrated Open Network Edge Services Software (OpenNESS), an open-source software initiative from Intel, into its platform for deployment and orchestration of 5G and edge services in a containerized environment.

Robin.io said it has adopted OpenNESS to help accelerate the creation of new applications and services for 5G and edge. OpenNESS makes it easier for cloud and internet of things (IOT) developers to develop applications while taking advantage of the underlying networking capabilities offered by Intel platforms and solutions. Intel is said to be enabling a worldwide ecosystem of hardware, software and system integrators to develop new 5G and edge use cases on OpenNESS.

Robin.io automates the deployment and life cycle management of complex data and network-intensive application pipelines as a service, including the demanding requirements of 5G service delivery. The Robin application automation platform enables companies to deliver an end-to-end, cloud-native, 5G service delivery network.

In addition to the collaboration around OpenNESS, Robin.io has also joined the Intel Network Builders program.
