The Linux Foundation announced the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation on March 3, 2026, at MWC 2026, uniting industry leaders like DeepSig, AMD, AT&T, Ericsson, Nokia, NVIDIA, SoftBank, SRS, and Verizon to advance open-source centralized unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU) software for 5G and early 6G radio access networks (RAN). Originating from U.S. government funding via the National Spectrum Consortium and Pentagon's FutureG Office, the initiative transitions a proven software stack into neutral governance, enabling interoperable, AI-native Open RAN deployments with features like spectrum sensing and neural receivers.
SUSE is partnering with Project Sylva to demonstrate a telco stack at Mobile World Congress 2026. The demo focuses on simplifying Open RAN deployment and addressing ecosystem fragmentation. Visitors can see it at SUSE's booth in Hall 2, Stand 2C31.
