Interoperability is a fundamental requirement for the success of any network solution. Vendors need to ensure that their products integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures and operate reliably alongside equipment from other manufacturers. EANTC provides a trusted and vendor-neutral environment where solutions are verified and demonstrated under realistic multi-vendor conditions.
By participating in our interoperability testing, vendors validate the readiness of their solutions in practical scenarios that reflect real-world deployments. This process not only strengthens customer confidence but also identifies migration paths and deployment options that would otherwise remain uncertain. EANTC regularly organizes interoperability test events that combine minimal vendor effort with maximum impact.
Interoperability Test Events
EANTC’s interoperability events create a collaborative, pre-production environment where vendors can test and refine their solutions. Products, including those still under development, are evaluated for interoperability, exposing differences in implementations before they reach live networks. This early validation reduces integration risks, accelerates time to market, and helps vendors deliver higher quality solutions.
The outcomes are highly regarded across the industry. Service providers rely on EANTC’s detailed interoperability reports to assess the maturity of emerging technologies, explore concrete use case scenarios, and adopt tested network design templates. These reports have supported the launch of innovative projects, enabled vendors to meet interoperability requirements in RFPs, and reduced the need for costly and repetitive Proofs of Concept.
Participation in EANTC’s interoperability events offers not only technical validation but also significant market exposure. Results are communicated through multiple channels to maximize visibility:
Test Report
A comprehensive publication of use cases, setups, and results. Positive results are attributed to vendors and solutions, while challenges are reported anonymously as the “state of the industry.” The report is distributed free of charge and presented at major industry conferences.
Live Demos
Joint showcases coordinated by EANTC, where vendors present their solutions directly to service providers, enterprises, and ecosystem partners. The demonstrations are also recorded, and the videos are published on EANTC’s YouTube channel and other business media platforms.
Media Outreach
Coverage through EANTC’s press releases, newsletters, and social media channels such as LinkedIn and YouTube, often complemented by participating vendors’ own communication activities.
EANTC’s interoperability testing empowers vendors to demonstrate the maturity of their solutions, accelerate innovation, and strengthen their competitive position. By combining rigorous technical validation with wide industry visibility, we help vendors and service providers build reliable, future-ready networks.
