About the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) The Telecom Infra Project (TIP) is a global community of companies and organizations that are pushing infrastructure solutions to promote global connectivity. Half of the world's population is not yet connected to the Internet, and for those who are, connectivity is often insufficient. This limits access to the myriad of commercial and consumer benefits provided over the Internet, thus impacting GDP growth globally. However, the lack of flexibility in current solutions – exacerbated by a limited choice of technology providers – makes it challenging for operators to efficiently build and upgrade networks. Founded in 2016, TIP is a multi-member community that includes hundreds of companies - from service providers and technology partners to systems integrators and other connectivity stakeholders. We're working together to develop, test and deploy open, disaggregated, standards-based solutions that deliver the high-quality connectivity the world needs – now and for decades to come.
