Vitesse’s carrier Ethernet portfolio aligns with new MEF CE 2.0 requirements

CAMARILLO, USA: Vitesse Semiconductor Corp., a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for carrier and Enterprise networks, is a first-adopter of the Metro Ethernet Forum’s (MEF) Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) requirements for mobile backhaul and mobile access equipment, the fastest growing markets in the IP Edge network.

“Vitesse has been a long-time member of the MEF and an evangelist for the proliferation of Ethernet technology in Carrier networks,” said Martin Nuss, CTO at Vitesse.

“We are very supportive of the CE 2.0 requirements as they establish a market definition for the Carrier Ethernet feature set and create a framework for future value-added services. By incorporating the CE 2.0 requirements into our robust and feature-rich Carrier Ethernet technology architecture, we have established Vitesse as the industry’s preferred solution provider for the IP Edge market. We estimate that this market will be a $500 million served market for Vitesse by 2015.”
