Harris Stratex Networks’ Eclipse Carrier Ethernet at Center of EANTC Showcase
The company will take part in the Mobile Backhaul Interoperability Test and Showcase, located in booth #4119, organized by the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) and supported by both the IP/MPLS Forum and the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). Harris Stratex will demonstrate the ability of the Eclipse® Carrier Ethernet over Wireless™ solution to deliver the functionality, performance and resilience required for tomorrow’s next-generation backhaul requirements by operating seamlessly within an MPLS, TMPLS and PBBTE network environment during the showcase.
