Tackling Telco Ecosystem Fragmentation Challenges with SUSE, OCUDU, and Sylva

At MWC 2026, SUSE and the OCUDU project demonstrated a production-ready, disaggregated Open RAN stack, deploying OCUDU’s AI-native CU/DU workloads on a SUSE-powered Project Sylva infrastructure. This collaboration brings the “Develop Once, Deploy Anywhere” model to life through automated GitOps and zero-touch provisioning, delivering carrier-grade performance on general-purpose hardware while eliminating vendor lock-in across the telco edge.
