The 14th edition of the MPLS & Ethernet World Congress will take place in Paris from the 7th to 10th of February, 2012.
The objectives set by Upperside for the 2012 edition is to confirm the progression established in 2011.
MPLS World and the Carrier Ethernet Workshop will once again allow us to benefit from the enlightenment of the precise stakes involved in the convergence of the MPLS & Ethernet protocols, particularly their respective roles in the access networks.
150 Services Providers from 70 Countries
More than 1300 delegates attended the 13th edition of the MPLS & Ethernet World Congress. 150 service providers from 70 countries were present and confirmed the event to be the number one event worldwide in this area.
Geographical repartition of delegates demonstrate the internationalization of MPLS & Ethernet World. In particular this year, Middle East representantatives reached 15% and Russian representantatives 10% of the overall delegates. |
