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.
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.
