The project is called “Telecom His Edge” and it is designed to help companies build better, faster, and more secure networks using open source software. The Linux Foundation Europe says that the project will help to improve the quality of service for customers in the European telecom market.
The Sylva project is designed to create a new, production-quality open source telco cloud stack. Its common cloud software frameworks and reference implementations aim to reduce fragmentation of the cloud infrastructure layer for telecommunications and edge services. ..
The project, called Cloudification Europe, is a collaborative effort by the five companies to reduce the complexity of their networks and increase their efficiency. The goal is to make sure that Europeans have access to the best technology possible, while also meeting their privacy and security needs.
Telecommunications providers Ericsson and Nokia have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the Sylva project, joining telecommunications infrastructure providers Telefonica, Telecom Italia, Orange, Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom. The project will see the construction of a high-speed fiber optic network linking Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. ..
The Linux Foundation Europe (LFEE) has agreed to address the challenges associated with telecom and edge use cases in Europe and beyond. The group will work together to develop best practices for the technology, and provide resources and support to companies who are looking to adopt it.
Sylva’s goals include developing a cloud software framework that prioritize requirements, developing solutions that integrate with existing open source components, and creating production-quality solutions that can be deployed in commercial products. Sylva will also develop a reference implementation of this cloud software framework and create an integration and validation program to accelerate adoption of network functions in the cloud.
