Test Events & Showcases

We are excited to announce that EANTC will participate in the i14y Lab Summit 2025, taking place on September 11, 2025, at the Lanolinfabrik venue in Berlin.

The MPLS & SDN Interoperability Test Event 2025 has concluded, along with the MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World Congress in Paris, which took place from March 25 to 27, 2025!

Over the course of three weeks, the hot staging was conducted at EANTC AG, where  12 vendors – Arista, Arrcus, Calnex, Ciena, Ericsson, H3C, Huawei, Juniper, Keysight, Microchip, Nokia, and Ribbon – collaborated with more than 75 engineers, both on-site and remote. Together, they brought all vendor hardware for comprehensive validation, testing the interoperability and integration of 123 devices across 82 different test cases.

MWC Barcelona 2025 is the world's largest and most influential connectivity event, taking place in Barcelona from March 3 to 6, 2025. This year’s theme, "Converge. Connect. Create.", highlights the intersection of technology, people, and innovation, shaping the future of industries and society.

EANTC will be actively participating, contributing to key discussions on network testing, interoperability, and innovation in the telecom industry.

The O-RANALLIANCE Global PlugFest Fall 2024 is successfully concluded at the end of November! All testing occurred on-site in Berlin at the i14y Lab or remotely over nearly a month, from October 7th to November 15th.

We are excited to announce EANTC's next Interoperability Test 2024. The test will cover 5G transport networks implemented in mobile network fronthaul and backhaul, end-to-end transport network slicing, traffic engineering, packet network synchronization, and more...

We had a blast at the CampusOS Plugfest at the Fraunhofer Science Tech Space from October 23-27!

CampusOS aims to consolidate an overview of the different technical components used to realize open and modular 5G CampusNetworks.

The i14y Lab consortium invited all vendors of Open RAN-related solutions and platforms to the upcoming O-RAN Global Plugfest Fall 2023. The testing in Berlin was closely aligned with other European PlugFest hosts, and with Telecom Infra Project (TIP) activities.

The O-RAN Global PlugFest Spring took place from April 17 – May 12, 2023, in the i14y Lab in Berlin, co-hosted by Deutsche Telekom and EANTC, and supported by Orange. The PlugFest focused on accelerating the maturity of products and solutions based on O-RAN specifications and validating multi-vendor interoperability and conformity to O-RAN specifications. 

We invited all vendors to join our annual multi-vendor MPLS SDN interop test event integrating new technologies and testing the latest innovations in EVPN, Segment Routing, SDN, and Time synchronization.

During the testing event, participating vendors got the opportunity to validate their individual solutions' market readiness and explore multi-vendor interoperability. EANTC contributes to developing automated test methods and conducts joint interoperability tests together with strong project partners aligned with the European and global testing initiatives of the O-RAN ALLIANCE and Telecom Infra Project.
