ITSF (International Telecom Sync Forum),
Synchronization Testing – an MEF Perspective

On behalf of the MEF (Metro Ethernet Forum) EANTC gave a presentation at the ITSF conference Time & Synchronisation in Telecoms in Rome, Italy.

In June, we published the results of our IPTV megatest, which was based on Cisco Systems’ IP Video solution. This extraordinarily large test had been commissioned and published by Light Reading.

You can now download a highly detailed and in depth webinar pointing at the test methodologies and results. This is hosted by Carsten Rossenhoel (Managing Director of EANTC) and Jason Sauviac (Marketing Manager at Cisco) and is available at www.lightreading.com. (you will need to register for free)
