What is OSC? === ###### tags: `Guide book` The [O-RAN Software Community (OSC)](https://o-ran-sc.org/#charter) is a collaboration between the O-RAN Alliance and Linux Foundation with the mission to support software creation for the RAN. The OSC plans to leverage other LF network projects while addressing performance, scale, and 3GPP alignment challenges. The OSC focuses on aligning with the O-RAN Alliance's open architecture and specifications to achieve a solution that can be utilized for industry deployment. As a new open-source community under the Linux Foundation, the OSC is sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance. It will enable the development of open-source software enabling modular, open, intelligent, efficient, and agile disaggregated RAN. :::info **Note**: In this project, we follows the specs from the OSC & OAI for specific modules. :::
