19 (% 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.
