Telstra today announced it has achieved Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) CE 2.0 certification of its international Ethernet portfolio, giving its customers confidence in the quality and global reach of these products.

MEF CE 2.0 certification assures Telstra’s customers that its international network is compliant with the industry’s highest technical standards and this latest international accreditation builds on the MEF CE 2.0 domestic certification achieved in March 2013 for its wholesale carrier Ethernet products.

Jim Clarke, Director, Marketing, Products and Pricing, Telstra Global Enterprise & Services said MEF CE 2.0 certification of Telstra’s international Ethernet portfolio demonstrated the company’s continued commitment to offering the best and leading technology standards for its products.

“At Telstra we have complete confidence in our service quality, and this next level of certification across our international Ethernet product range reaffirms this.

“Ultimately we strive for this level of certification so that our global customers can have guaranteed peace of mind on compatibility and ease of integration. With so many customers using our service as a component in a wider global IT environment, this seamless experience is critical,” Mr Clarke said.

Nan Chen, President of the MEF said the MEF Certification Program had been foundational in accelerating worldwide adoption of Carrier Ethernet solutions by tens of thousands of businesses and organisations.

“CE 2.0 certification is a highly challenging and significant accreditation to achieve and represents the gold standard of deployment for the marketplace. We congratulate Telstra on such an impressive result across its full international Ethernet product range,” Mr Chen concluded.
