The French IPCEI ME/CT project aims to advance 5G technology through a collaborative Cloud platform based on the Sylva software stack. Launched in 2022, the initiative is led by Orange and includes partners from academia and industry.

The project explores innovations in O-RAN networks, automation, and connected vehicles. Sylva serves as a modular, open-source telco cloud infrastructure, facilitating the integration of partner innovations.

The project also implements Obvios Dome's automated private 5G network on Sylva, enhancing deployment and management of network functions. End-to-end testing and automation are central to validating solutions within a virtualized environment. Future experiments include deploying distributed private 5G networks connected to a unified control plane.
