NEW YORK, April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM TechWeb's Light Reading (www.lightreading.com), the largest research-led media company serving the global communications marketplace, in collaboration with Heavy Reading (www.heavyreading.com), its prestigious market research division, will host their fifth Ethernet event in Europe on April 12 & 13 in London at the Marriott Grosvenor Square. Ethernet Europe, chaired by Ethernet expert and Heavy Reading Senior Analyst Stan Hubbard, will cover the three major Carrier Ethernet topics with innovative panel sessions and keynotes that will include real-world case studies, debates, and questions & answers.

"The Carrier Ethernet services and equipment markets have proven fairly resilient during the economic downturn because customers are attracted by Ethernet's proven ability to cost-effectively deliver more flexibility, performance, and scalability than legacy solutions," says Hubbard. "Visit the show in London and you'll see that the extraordinary pace of Carrier Ethernet innovation and inter-company cooperation within the Carrier Ethernet community are key secrets behind market growth."

Coverage of innovative Ethernet business services trends includes a keynote from Rajiv Datta, Senior VP and CTO at AboveNet, and panel sessions on Carrier Ethernet Business Service Innovation Across Europe; Building & Marketing a Cutting-Edge Ethernet Services Portfolio; and Accelerated Mass Deployment - Solutions for an Interconnected Ethernet World.

Coverage of Carrier Ethernet wholesale services (including mobile backhaul) and interconnection includes keynotes from Jarrett Appleby, CMO of Equinix, and Andy Sutton, Principal Design Consultant for Transport Networks at CNDD, Orange UK. Panel sessions will include Accelerated Mass Deployment -- Solutions for an Interconnected Ethernet World; Advanced Global Interconnect Test Program presented by Carsten Rossenhoevel, Managing Director for EANTC; and Carrier Ethernet Wholesale Service & Interconnection Trends - Global Perspective.

Coverage of next-generation Carrier Ethernet, MPLS, and packet-optical technologies and OAM solutions supporting high-performance business, wholesale, residential, and mobile backhaul services and applications includes a keynote from Matthew Finnie, CTO of Interoute; a Roundtable session on Converged Packet-Optical Solutions for High-Capacity, Smart Bandwidth Services; a debate session on Carrier Ethernet Solutions for Cellular & WiMax Backhaul; and three panel sessions on 100-Gigabit Ethernet, End-to-End Ethernet Service Management, and Carrier Ethernet Service Differentiation Tools & Techniques.
