Priority Ethernet Services Connecting India, APAC, US and Europe Certified by Global Industry Alliance
The Metro Ethernet Forum is a non-profit global industry alliance, comprised of over 155 of the world's leading service providers and network equipment vendors. It develops technical specifications and implementation agreements to ensure interoperability and deployment of Carrier Ethernet services worldwide. MEF Certification is highly regarded as a quality assurance symbol, having been attained by passing numerous compliance tests, conducted by Iometrix, the MEF approved certification test laboratory.
"Tata Communications holds the distinction of being the first global provider who earned the MEF 9 and MEF14 certifications for its leading Global Dedicated Ethernet Services, and now the certification of our Priority services shows our commitment to continuously enrich our offerings, deliver quality services to our customers and lead the Ethernet evolution" said Genius Wong, Senior Vice President, Global IP and VPN services.
MEF 14 ensures that the latency, jitter and packet loss performance of the services conforms to the rigorous MEF standards, while MEF 9 ensures the conditions required for delivery of services have specific Ethernet User Network Interface (UNI) and Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) service attributes. MEF 14 is also the first industry certification to include performance criteria, which helps to raise the bar on carriers' services performance. "The MEF welcomes the commitment being made by companies such as TATA Communications to it certification program," stated
Added Wong: "The certifications are of high significance to us, to assure our customers of seamless secure solutions, which adhere to highest industry standards."
"The fact that Tata Communications' Priority Ethernet Services are now MEF 9 & 14 certified independently endorses successful Carrier Ethernet performance following stringent testing by a third party," said
