Accelerating Global AI-Native Networks

LF Networking has unveiled its plans to host the ONE Summit India and Cloud Native Telco Day 2026, in a bid to push the boundaries of AI-native networking innovation. Scheduled to take place on February 25, 2025, at Infosys campus in Bengaluru, India, the ONE Summit India aims to draw attention to the open, AI-driven cloud native networks that are set to define the future of telecommunications.

The ONE Summit has long been recognized as a pivotal gathering for leaders in open networking, cloud, and telecom sectors. This year, the summit aims to localize its impact by addressing the specific needs of India's rapidly evolving telecom and tech landscape. According to Arpit Joshipura, General Manager of Networking, Edge & IoT at the Linux Foundation, India is at the forefront of ambitious network modernization and AI transformation initiatives, making it an ideal location for this significant event.

At this summit, attendees can expect a full day filled with a variety of keynotes, technical sessions, and interactive discussions. The main topics will cover:

1. AI-Native and Cloud-Native Networks: Focused discussions on applying AI, automation, and cloud technologies to modernize telecommunications infrastructures like core networks, edge computing, and RAN.
2. Telco Cloud Edge Deployments: Insightful case studies from active operators and partners who are already implementing open, disaggregated, and cloud-native networks.
3. Open Source Building Blocks: A deep dive into significant projects by the LF Networking and Linux Foundation, turning the spotlight on cloud-native orchestration, security, and observability tools necessary for next-generation networks.
4. Developer and Operator Collaboration: Interactive sessions aimed at fostering partnerships between operators, vendors, integrators, and developers working in the open-source ecosystem.
5. India Ecosystem Innovation: Highlighting how India-based enterprises and service providers are capitalizing on open networking to roll out new digital services.

As space is limited, interested participants are encouraged to register early for the ONE Summit India.

In conjunction with the summit in Bengaluru, LF Networking will also co-sponsor the Cloud Native Telco Day 2026 during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, scheduled for March 23, 2026. This event brings together diverse leaders from telecommunications, cloud, and edge technology sectors to explore the latest transformational strategies enabled by cloud-native technologies.

Participating in Cloud Native Telco Day will provide:

• - Highlighting Leading Technologies: A showcase of prominent cloud-native telco architectures and open-source building blocks available within the LF Networking portfolio.
• - Knowledge Sharing: A platform for operators, vendors, and developers to exchange deployment stories, best practices, and learn from real-world implementations.
• - AI-Native Strategy Development: Sessions aimed at advancing AI-driven approaches for planning, operating, and securing networks within cloud-native frameworks.

Joshipura stated, “The combination of ONE Summit India and Cloud Native Telco Day 2026 reinforces our commitment to regional engagement while maintaining a globally connected outlook for advancing AI-native and cloud-native networking.”

These events serve as excellent opportunities for professionals in the networking sphere to collaborate, innovate, and enhance their knowledge base. The in-person attendees of Cloud Native Telco Day will also have the advantage of opting for an All-Access pass that grants them entry to all co-located events alongside KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, thereby expanding their networking prospects even further.
