RDK, a privately owned US-based company founded in 2013, provides software for video and broadband services. Employing approximately 30 people, the company's main product is a pre-integrated, open-source Reference Design Kit (RDK) that serves as a common framework for customer-premises equipment (CPE). This includes devices like set-top boxes and modem/routers used by communications service providers. RDK allows providers to standardize CPE features, introduce their own services, and tailor user experiences. In 2022, the company's revenue was less than $10 million.
RDK Management announced on September 4, 2025, that its open-source software has been shipped in over 200 million devices globally. This software powers customer-premises equipment for broadband and video service providers. Vodafone deployed RDK-B software as a centralized platform for home broadband devices and services across Europe. The deployment includes the launch of Wi-Fi 7 Fibre and DOCSIS CPEs, specifically Ultra Hub 7 routers with RDK-B software, in the UK and Germany, with a phased rollout planned across Europe. The company also announced this milestone ahead of IBC2025 and the 2025 RDK Global Summit.
