6 -(% style="color:#000000" %)The Multi-Vendor Interoperability Test Event 2025  will cover multi-vendor interoperability of transport network services for cloud data centers and fixed and mobile networks. The testing will occur in **Berlin **from** February 17 to February 28, 2025.**
6 +(% style="color:#000000" %)The technical test areas will focus on end-to-end validation of innovations in Segment Routing (**SR-MPLS, SRv6**), **EVPN, Orchestration and Automation**, and **Time Synchronization**. Key topics include segment routing with Flex-Algo and bi-directional policies, end-to-end network slicing, data center overlay automation, real-time telemetry, time sync over MACsec and DWDM, EVPN services over SRv6/SR-MPLS, SDN-controlled multicast, and Ethernet-based transport interoperability for AI/HPC workloads.

9 +(% style="color:#000000" %)The test results will be published and presented live at the **Paris Congress** from **March 24 to 27, 2026**. EANTC’s showcase is a well-established event that benefits vendors and provides a unique ecosystem for fostering collaboration and innovation in the most advanced network scenarios. EANTC ensures a comprehensive testing environment tailored to service providers’ needs.

18 -(% style="color:#000000" %)EANTC’s interoperability reports are respected by service providers, raising customer awareness of the state of implementation for innovative network concepts. We describe use case scenarios and design blueprints that service providers can adopt for their network designs. Our reports have helped to kick off network innovation projects, fulfill RFP requirements concerning interoperability, and avoid individual PoCs covering similar technical questions. The initiative provides a unique opportunity to test and troubleshoot interoperability with third-party vendors in a friendly pre-production environment. Participating in the test event improves quality and reduces implementation time in customer projects.
15 +(% style="text-align: justify;" %)
16 +(% style="color:#000000" %)EANTC’s interoperability Test Reports are highly regarded by service providers, offering valuable insights into the maturity and readiness of emerging technologies. Our documentation outlines practical use cases and network design templates that operators can integrate into their own architectures. These reports have proven instrumental in launching innovation initiatives, meeting RFP demands related to multi-vendor compatibility, and minimizing the need for redundant Proof-of-Concepts. The initiative creates a collaborative environment where vendors can test and refine interoperability before deployment. Participation in the event boosts solution quality and shortens the rollout time in real-world customer implementations.
