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.

The NetSecOPEN initiative will develop a vendor-independent standard for testing enterprise network security performance. EANTC is looking forward to contribute our expertise to model a transparent and realistic benchmarking methodology for next-generation firewalls. The initiative is open to all interested in collaborating.

White Paper Out: NIA MANO Interoperability Showcase at Big Communications Event
The New IP Agency (NIA) and EANTC invited NFV vendors to participate in the next campaign of groundbreaking NFV evaluations. We examined interoperability between Management and Orchestration (MANO) functions and the Virtual Infrastructure Management (VIM). The test was combined with a live showcase at BCE, May 15-17.
