View all 4 articles » Explore Lightwave Online (Feb 21 2012)
The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) has unveiled its Mobile Backhaul Initiative for 4G/LTE. The initiative, which combines a new implementation agreement that follows on to the existing MEF 22.1 with position papers and other educational aids, aims to guide service providers in the deployment and use of Ethernet’s multiple classes of service (Multi-CoS) capabilities. Proper use of Multi-CoS can save as much as 25% of the cost of using single CoS in backhaul applications, the MEF suggests.
