VyOS Networks, the global leader in open-source networking, will exhibit at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026 and showcase VyOS 1.5 LTS, a production-grade network operating system that runs consistently across bare metal, virtualized, cloud, and edge environments. VyOS 1.5 LTS combines a Linux-based control plane with high-performance data plane options, including Vector Packet Processing (VPP), enabling predictable, software-defined performance on commodity hardware.

Why it matters

As networks evolve toward hybrid cloud, distributed edge, and 5G-driven architectures, operators face increasing pressure to deliver higher throughput and lower latency while maintaining strict compliance, change control, and lifecycle discipline. VyOS addresses these challenges by providing a single, unified network OS that offers full control and zero vendor lock-in.

The details

At MWC Barcelona 2026, the VyOS team will cover topics such as migrating off proprietary network appliances while maintaining production stability, high-performance packet processing with VPP for telco, edge, and packet-intensive workloads, universal deployment across bare metal, virtual machines, cloud platforms, and edge infrastructure, and automation-first workflows with predictable lifecycle management in VyOS 1.5 LTS.

  • VyOS will exhibit at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026, taking place March 2–5.
