Net Insights Solution for Customer Self-Provisioned Carrier Ethernet Services Certified by MEF

Net Insight now a MEF CE 2.0 certified equipment vendor

Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, the leading provider of live, interactive and on-demand media transport, today announces that the company s customer self-provisioned Carrier Ethernet solution has received MEF CE 2.0 certification.

MEF, the defining body for Carrier Ethernet, expresses a future vision referred to as the "Third Network", where network services are agile, assured and orchestrated. In this future customers have better control through self-service, connectivity is on-demand and elastic, and business models are pay-as-you-go.

Net Insight s Customer Provisioned Networks (CPN) solution uses Software Defined Networking (SDN) technology to provide these capabilities today. This has been proven by the company s long-term international deployments with service providers such as The Switch. MEF CE 2.0 certification proves that operators can use this solution to build open, standards-based networks, delivering well-defined Carrier Ethernet services.

"During Super Bowl 50 we successfully delivered carrier grade Ethernet services ranging from 50Mbps to 10Gbps with assured performance to a number of major clients," said Scott Beers, chairman and CEO, The Switch. "These services were mission critical to the production of Super Bowl, and were delivered using Net Insight s now MEF certified Nimbra equipment."

An off-the-shelf solution for customer provisioned Carrier Ethernet services allows service providers to aggressively move towards the future described by MEF.

"We are currently carrying out trials on customer-self provisioned Carrier Ethernet services using Net Insight s off-the-shelf CPN solution, on top of the now MEF certified Nimbra equipment," said Scott Hoffmann, CEO, WIN.

"With our CPN solution, customers self-provision MEF certified Carrier Ethernet services in less than 15 seconds," said Martin Karlsson, CTO & vice president product portfolio at Net Insight. "But more importantly, integrated pricing and billing capabilities give network operators new revenue opportunities and innovative business models, such as the pay-as-you-go models envisioned by MEF."
