 "Tata Communications' Priority Ethernet Services Now MEF Certified")
Tata Communications has announced that its Priority Ethernet services are now certified by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) as conforming to the MEF 9 and MEF 14 specifications. This complements the already MEF certified Global Dedicated Ethernet Services, introduced by Tata Communications in 2006 and certified since 2007.
The Metro Ethernet Forum is a non-profit global industry alliance, comprising over 155 service providers and network equipment vendors. It develops technical specifications and implementation agreements to ensure interoperability and deployment of Carrier Ethernet services worldwide. MEF Certification is regarded as a quality assurance symbol, having been attained by passing numerous compliance tests, conducted by Iometrix, the MEF approved certification test laboratory.
MEF 14 ensures that the latency, jitter and packet loss performance of the services conforms to the rigorous MEF standards, while MEF 9 ensures the conditions required for delivery of services have specific Ethernet User Network Interface (UNI) and Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) service attributes. MEF 14 is also the first industry certification to include performance criteria, which helps to raise the bar on carriers’ services performance.
“The MEF welcomes the commitment being made by companies such as TATA Communications to it certification program,” stated Nan Chen, MEF President. “Service providers across the globe have embraced MEF standards to deliver reliable, high quality and technically consistent Ethernet services to their customer base,” he added.
Tata Communications’ Global Priority Ethernet Services span across North America, Asia, Europe and Middle East and more than 120 Indian cities. The Service, featured with a choice of configurations, bandwidth granularities, up-to four Classes of Service with interclass bursting, provides a scalable Ethernet solution throughout India and on a global scale.
