Sylva is an open-source project under Linux Foundation Europe, aimed at simplifying and accelerating the cloudification of telecom networks across Europe. We provide a cloud software framework tailored for telco and edge use cases like 5G, O-RAN, and edge computing, addressing the industry's technical challenges. By building on existing open-source projects, Sylva fosters collaboration and innovation, offering a common infrastructure for European operators and beyond. Our goal is to create a global standard that supports privacy, security, and energy efficiency, while welcoming contributions from global partners.
