Carrier Ethernet Backhaul & Exchange is for forward-looking service providers and network operators who are looking to expand their market area and gain new sources of revenue. It is also for their carrier and enterprise customers, who want to use Ethernet to gain flexibility and increase their own business competitiveness, whilst reducing costs.
 

The technical standards are complete, the protocol wars are over, interoperability is proven – and as Ethernet becomes commonplace in NGN infrastructure, differentiation can no longer be achieved through technology alone. More is needed.
 

This event focuses solely on new areas that have come to the fore over the past year: Low latency services, Ethernet Wholesale, Backhaul and Exchange, Packet Microwave – and the business transition from Service to Value. Unlike other events, Layer123 recognises the strategic transition facing the industry: standing still is not an option, and the debate needs to be at a higher level than the raw technical protocols.
 

Carrier Ethernet Backhaul & Exchange will help all market players investigate with due diligence, debate with their peers, take on board key learnings and adapt their forward strategy.
 

Why this event is uniquely valuable

Join Colt, its European partners and Europe's most innovative service providers and equipment vendors - representative of the complete Carrier Ethernet ecosystem - in London and find out how service providers can use Carrier Ethernet to help customers bring down costs and generate value through advanced communications solutions. Across the board - in wholesale, mobile, financial and business applications, Ethernet is playing a key role in helping the telecoms industry enter a new and lucrative world of ICT solutions, even as traditional services decline.

You too will have to alter your behaviour and business approach if you are to be successful in the new environment of solutions not services, value not capacity. Join this uniquely forward looking event and spend time to rethink your strategy and clarify the role of Carrier Ethernet in the future telecommunications business, with the help of your industry peers and colleagues.
