He will transfer his knowledge into the team and adapt the upcoming products from arcutronix to the requirements of MEF.

The certification program of the MEF for the latest version of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 was introduced in 2012. The new CE 2.0 certification program for services and equipment complements the presentation of the new version of Carrier Ethernet with eight new services. CE 2.0 brings over the previous version, significant improvements through the alignment of the MEF services to the needs of companies with respect to the application performance by specific service level agreements. The CE 2.0 certification was developed to bring the benefits for users, service providers and equipment manufacturers available more quickly – with higher quality and lower costs.
