Successful interoperability for NEC

NEC Corporation has announced its successful interoperability test result.

The company’s mobile backhaul transport solution, iPASOLINK, achieved a successful result from the European Advanced Network Test Center’s (EANTC) carrier ethernet interoperability test.

“This is the fifth consecutive year in which NEC has participated in the test, each time with great results. The results demonstrate that NEC’s microwave solution is suitable as a transport technology for carrier ethernet,” said Hiroya Nakata, Vice President and General Manager, Mobile Wireless Solutions Division, NEC Corporation.

The interoperability test evaluates innovative packet transport technologies. It focuses on new approaches to packet networking seeking to improve flexibility (one network for any service), efficiency (optimising available capacity) and carrier-grade reliability.

The test took part in the following IOT: microwave MPLS-TP QoS support; SyncE ESMC over microwave; IEEE1588v2 best master clock selection both of a boundary clock and a slave scenario.
