"By testing the interoperability of multi vendors, EANTC is furthering the adoption of IP/MPLS solutions in mobile backhaul networks – which is good for both vendors and operators."

Mobile Backhaul Interoperability Event and Showcase
The European Advanced Networking Test Center in collaboration with the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) and the IP/MPLS Forum organized the first multi-vendor mobile backhaul interoperability test and showcases.
Our latest interoperability test lab setup resembled the major service provider challenges to implement an integrated, multi-service, next-generation core, aggregation and access network supporting high quality mobile backhaul services.
The following vendors participated in the event: Alcatel-Lucent, Ceragon, Ciena, Cisco, Ericsson, Harris Stratex, Huawei, Ixia, Lightstorm, MRV, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel, Spirent, RAD, and Telco Systems.
The interoperability test network will be demonstrated to the public in 3 different events on 2 continents at the follow dates:
