Ethernet is, without a doubt, one of the most important communications technologies developed in the last 30-plus years. High-performance Ethernet, known commonly as Carrier Ethernet, is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for controlling network communications costs, consolidating services onto a common infrastructure, and enabling more tailored services for consumers, enterprises, and operators.
Light Reading hosted its 6th annual Ethernet Europe event in London from April 12-13, 2011. Ethernet Europe 2011 is the premier event covering the hot topic of Carrier Ethernet network technologies and services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). A record number of 20 service provider experts from 19 network operators and carrier Ethernet exchange companies spoke at the event, along with representatives of the ITU-T, EANTC, MEF, and network solutions providers. Several hundred service provider, enterprise, finance, consulting, equipment vendor, regulatory, and other professionals attended the show.
This report highlights key themes emerging from service provider perspectives shared at Ethernet Europe. The report provides a window into the market unavailable from any other source and shares direct quotes and other candid feedback from many of the key movers and shakers in the carrier Ethernet industry.
Carrier Ethernet Service & Technology Trends & Issues: Europe is the first report prepared by Heavy Reading that captures service provider highlights from one of Light Reading's most popular and longstanding events. This report leverages Light Reading's unique ability as a research-led media company to assemble many of the industry's leading service provider and technology experts periodically throughout the year to spotlight key trends, progress, and challenges for the carrier Ethernet industry. Light Reading's Ethernet events have served as valuable networking opportunities for both non-sponsor and sponsoring attendees.
This report is centered on the service provider perspectives shared during the show. Comments and views expressed by equipment vendors and representatives of the MEF and ITU are beyond the scope of this report.
