The MEF has just launched Carrier Ethernet 2.0 certification for equipment vendors, which centers around three key additions for CE services, including multi-QoS, management, and interconnect and certifies E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree and E-Access services. The pilot phase of this next-generation certification is starting and equipment vendors have an opportunity to be on the leading edge. The comprehensive testing has 680 test cases and is sure to raise the bar for MEF standards-based CE services. The webinar addresses what CE 2.0 Certification covers, the value for service providers, operators, equipment vendors and subscribers of this new comprehensive certification from the MEF, how will it affect the industry, where the well-established MEF 9 and MEF 14 certifications fit in, how the new MEF Professional Certification -- MEF–CECP -- validate knowledge of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 as well as many other questions addressed by MEF member companies that have led with Carrier Ethernet certification in their respective fields.

Ethernet is the packet technology that now dominates access networks. Recently, a version of MPLS known as MPLS-TP has been proposed as an alternative. Can MPLS-TP replace Ethernet in access networks? Is MPLS-TP ready to do so? Join Dr. Yaakov Stein, RAD's CTO, on May 15, 2012, as he provides an in-depth review of the two technologies' strengths and weaknesses in access networks. Dr. Stein will compare Ethernet and MPLS-TP in ten critical categories and grade them on suitability, coverage and maturity.

Carrier Ethernet Equipment Demand, An Indicator of Global Network Access Trends
Infonetics Research increased its long-term forecast for the Ethernet equipment market from $37.5 billion to $40.2 billion by 2015. Behind these macro-numbers that demonstrate usage and investment in Carrier Ethernet equipment, is the industry's evolving move to next-generation packet-based IP networks, and the related pace of backhaul traffic from consumer, business and mobile.
Global Capacity, which provides an automated pricing and ordering platform for carriers, has seen market demand for Ethernet services shift to the positive in a big way over the course of the last year. With this in mind, the integration of Ethernet service into their comprehensive product offer quickly became a necessity. In fact, corporate leadership advised that entering 2011, Ethernet quotes made up less than 1% of total quote demand as fielded through their proprietary One Marketplace Access Exchange platform. Over the course of the last year however, quotes specifying Ethernet doubled in volume, while overall requests for quote have risen to a volume of over 200,000/per month.
