Want to know what the MEF’s new Carrier Ethernet 2.0 means to you?  How can you use the concepts to differentiate your offerings and increase the stickiness of your services?

The MEF (Metro Ethernet Forum) recently unveiled its vision for the second generation of Carrier Ethernet, dubbed Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0).  In its announcement, the MEF identified a set of important new extensions to the first generation of Carrier Ethernet. These enhancements to global interconnection standards, multiple service classes, and service management features, not present in the original, can be implemented now to scale and simplify the delivery of higher performing, more deterministic Ethernet services. With well thought out strategies, service providers can implement CE 2.0 with a foundation to transform services, networks and operations to materially differentiate services and win in the market.

Innovative service providers have discovered that introducing CE 2.0 functionality into their offerings helps them hold their margins and win new enterprise customers in an increasingly competitive environment.  In this webinar, you will learn about the market opportunity for services based on Carrier Ethernet 2.0, hear examples of how some service providers are already leveraging this functionality, and see real-world solutions that are delivering on the promise of Carrier Ethernet 2.0.

Please join us for the first in the 2012 series of webinars brought to you by Carrier Ethernet News to explore this topic. 

Each registrant will receive a comprehensive e-Book entitled “Transforming Carrier Ethernet Concepts into Winning Business Realities.”
