OSS + ELC EU 2026

The telco industry has been on a cloudification journey for over a decade. In the context of Radio Access Networks (RAN), this deep transformation is primarily driven by Open RAN initiatives. This talk illustrates how RAN is gradually embrassing cloud native benefits. Key synergies between Sylva and Duranta open-source projects are driving this transformation:
- Sylva provides a telco-grade cloud stack, enabling scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure.
- The Duranta project focuses on developing RAN network functions using cloud-native design patterns to promote innovation and interoperability.

A live demo will highlight the role of Open RAN interfaces in Duranta. It will showcase a FluxCD-based GitOps deployment of Duranta’s Open RAN Distributed Unit (O-DU), Centralized Unit Control Plane (O-CU-CP), and Centralized Unit User Plane (O-CU-UP) network functions on a Telco Cloud. The deployment will follow the Sylva GitOps approach. Sylva will orchestrate multiple Telco Clouds to showcase central, regional, and far-edge deployment scenarios across two labs located approximately 1,000 km apart.
