The MEF concluded the fiscal year 2012 with numerous highlights. This included passing the 200-member company mark, certifying over 150 service providers and equipment vendors to CE 1.0, and bringing the number of MEF-CECPs (MEF Carrier Ethernet Certified Professionals) up to 300.
In addition to demonstrating current CE 2.0 service capabilities for private cloud environments and improving Carrier Ethernet's dynamism and responsiveness to future requirements, the MEF also recently released MEF 22.1 (Mobile Backhaul Implementation Agreement Phase 2.)
"As the demand for Ethernet Services for Mobile Backhaul continues to skyrocket," said Brian Rose, Director of Product Development at Cox Business, "MEF’s standards-based framework helps us continue to scale and optimize this business.”
More than 200 organizations make up the MEF global industry alliance. Member groups include telecommunications service providers, cable MSOs, network equipment/software manufacturers, semiconductor vendors, and testing organizations.
The MEF aims to hasten the worldwide adoption of standardized Carrier-class Ethernet networks and services. To this end, it enacted Carrier Ethernet technical specifications and implementation agreements that advance interoperability and Carrier Ethernet deployment.
CE 2.0 possess powerful and standardized attributes of Multi-CoS, Interconnect and Manageability. It will take Carrier Ethernet and telecommunications to the next level of capabilities and cost-efficiency in order to handle exponential growth of data in business, mobile, and cloud applications.
