Telecom Italia achieves Carrier Ethernet 2.0 certification, becoming the first company in Europe to offer such a service to enterprise and wholesale customers according to the MEF.
“The MEF views the Carrier Ethernet 2.0 certification program as a very important chapter in the evolution of standardised Carrier Ethernet services. I believe it will open up new services and markets for Telecom Italia,” MEF president Nan Chen says.
Italy is the 4th biggest European carrier ethernet market by revenue. Analysts estimate the Italian enterprise market will be worth $1.1 billion by 2018, up from $0.6bn in 2010.
