EANTC invited network equipment vendors to participate in our interop event focused purely on NETCONF and transport network-specific YANG models. This event differed from our annual SDN interop events in the springtime and investigated only the management plane. The testing took place from November 16-20, 2020.

EANTC and VIAVI Solutions took part in the Joint European O-RAN and TIP Plugfest in September 2020 hosted by Deutsche Telekom and Telecom Italia Mobile. The Plugfest, jointly organized by the O-RAN Alliance (O-RAN) and the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), was the first European multi-vendor initiative to support the development of interoperable 5G and LTE OpenRAN solutions.

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.

EANTC invited all interested vendors to join our public multi-vendor MPLS SDN interoperability test 2020. To address the constantly changing requirements in the industry we propose to integrate new technologies with the SDN-based packet transport network, such as 400GE, 60GHz Microwave, and optical/packet based network orchestration.

EANTC participated in a live showcase at the Broadband World Forum on October 15-17 in Amsterdam, covering the Cloud CloudCO (Central Office) architecture and the open-source Broadband Access Abstraction (OB-BAA). The first test campaign of the Open Broadband Lab Europe, hosted by EANTC, will take the findings of the showcase into account and will be scheduled in Q4/2019.

The showcase exhibits a tangible, lab-validated multi-vendor network demonstrating the latest advances in IP/MPLS, Software Defined Networks (SDN), microwave and mobile network clock synchronization. All results were presented live in April featuring an enlarged booth size for 2019.

2018 will see the 20th edition of the conference with more than 1,500+ expected participants. It will continue to reflect the major trends in the networking industry by bringing together leading experts and companies. And once again EANTC’s multi-vendor interoperability showcase will be in the middle of it all.

EANTC invited all interested vendors to join our public multi-vendor test and showcase at the SD-WAN Summit 2017.
