MONTREAL, July 10, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The MEF today announces that FIBRENOIRE, a telecommunications company specializing exclusively in fiber optic connectivity services for businesses in Quebec and Ontario, has become the first Canadian Telecoms Provider to achieve CE 2.0 certification.
CE 2.0 certification ensures FIBRENOIRE'S customers that its network is compliant with the industry's highest standards. "We believe that standardization of Carrier Ethernet Services will accelerate demand both at the retail and wholesale level as more customers will be looking into certified Carrier Ethernet networks in the future," said Jean-François Lévesque, CTO of FIBRENOIRE.
FIBRENOIRE joins 8 other carriers, such as Comcast, TW Telecom and Telecom Italia that have obtained MEF CE 2.0 certification since May 2012, rapidly speeding up the adoption of the new standard.
"Carrier Ethernet has become the industry's biggest success story of the past decade. A milestone was reached this year when for the first time Carrier Ethernet services share of bandwidth exceeded the sum total of all legacy telecoms services across the world, making it the dominant technology in the carrier space. Last year over 1.2 billion new Ethernet ports were shipped (400 million wired and 800 million wireless) according to IDC, and Frost & Sullivan, Vertical Systems and Infonetics predict a near $48 billion services market by 2015," concludes Nan Chen, President, MEF
