It is a non-profit international industry consortium, dedicated to worldwide adoption of Carrier Ethernet networks and services. (www.metroethernetforum.org) to participants at the Carrier Ethernet World Congress with background on what is being done in this important standards group. The MEF is the primary organization providing specifications for Carrier Ethernet services. Incorporating work from the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. , ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. , OIF OIF Operation Iraqi Freedom OIF Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (French: International Organization of Francophonie) OIF Office for Intellectual Freedom (American Library Association) and others the MEF is developing specifications and a testing and certification program that will ensure interoperability of SLAs for Ethernet services for service providers worldwide. Event: Carrier Ethernet World Congress, Madrid Spain Speech: Evolving Carrier Ethernet to meet Operators' Next Generation Networking Next Generation Networking (NGN) is a broad term to describe some key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks that will be deployed over the next 5-10 years. Requirements Speaker: Gady Rosenfeld, VP Marketing Where: Auditorium Hotel, Madrid, Spain When: Tuesday, September 26, 2006, 17:10 URL: http://www.iir-events.com/IIR-conf/Telecoms/EventView.aspx?EventID=437 What is the optimal mix of technologies today for operators to harness the benefits of Ethernet while maintaining carrier-class performance and keeping control of OpEx in their NGN (Next Generation Networks) An umbrella term for mixed voice and data networks running over the IP protocol. See IP Multimedia Subsystem. . What roles will complementary technologies play in a full carrier-class solution? To what extent do new ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union and IEEE OAM standards address operators' management requirements? How are developments in MPLS technology likely to impact the development of Carrier Ethernet solutions? Event: EANTC EANTC European Advanced Networking Test Center Interoperability Demo at CEWC CEWC Council for Education in World Citizenship (Wales) CEWC Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center (Georgia) CEWc chicken egg white cystatin CEWC Committee for the Equality of Women in Canada Where: Auditorium Hotel, Madrid, Spain When: Tues - Thurs, September 26-28, 2006 URL: http://www.iir-events.com/IIR-conf/Telecoms/EventView.aspx?EventID=437 Corrigent participate in a large interoperability demonstration sponsored by the European Advanced Network Test Center (www.eantc.de) to showcase the delivery of Ethernet services. There will be demonstrations of: IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. , VoIP, DIA, TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. over packet, Multiservice convergence, Ethernet OAM (per IEEE 802.1ag), Fault Management, Bandwidth Profiles, Service Performance, QoS, Point and Click provisioning, End-to-End Ethernet networking and other unique advantages. Event: MPLS 2006 International Conference Speech: MPLS and Carrier Ethernet Competing or Complementing Technologies Speaker: Luis Aguirre-Torres, Director, Product Marketing Where: Omni Shoreham Hotel The Shoreham Hotel is a hotel in Northwest Washington, D.C., owned by Omni Hotels. It is located at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Calvert Street. Built in 1930, the building was designed by Waddy Butler Wood. , Washington, DC When: Tuesday October 17, 11:00 a.m. URL: http://www.iir-events.com/IIR-conf/Telecoms/EventView.aspx?EventID=437 This presentation focuses on those network deployments where Carrier Ethernet has been chosen as the service enabling technology (e.g. Triple Play), and shows how in some cases MPLS control and forwarding plane can be used to enhance availability and manageability of the network. It also weights on the trade-offs of pairing both technologies in terms of complexity and expense. It explores the usefulness of MPLS OAM and MPLS FRR in next generation packet transport networks. Event: InfoCom 2006 Where: Moscow, Russia When: October 18 - 21, 2006 URL: http://www.ccc.ru/infocom2006/index-en.html This is the 6th exhibition forum held by Ministry for Communications and Information Technology of Russia.
