Alignment of stakeholders towards the supply-side large-scale pilot of end-to-end infrastructures integrating device, network computing and communication capabilities (CSA)

The Commission wants a neutral coordination action that brings together software, hardware, computing, telecom, AI and cloud stakeholders to agree a common roadmap for supply and demand of telco edge cloud infrastructure. It expects the action to align supply and demand-side strategies, coordinate with the Open Internet Stack action, and support open-source delivery of shared building blocks.
