S-A Gets MEF Certification
Scientific Atlanta has earned MEF 9 certification for its Prisma IP Platform for all three Ethernet services defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum. Iometrix, the MEF authorized lab, has certified Scientific Atlanta’s Prisma IP E500, E100, M and C Series platforms as meeting the carrier-class standard for Ethernet Private Line (EPL), Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) and Ethernet LAN (E-LAN) services.
The MEF Certification Program is designed to accelerate the adoption of Carrier Ethernet by helping service providers evaluate the equipment of various vendors and makes it easier to provide the key features of Carrier Ethernet: rapid service creation, smooth scalability, end-to-end protection, robust service level agreements and flexible support for voice, Internet, and multicast traffic.
