EANTC 2026

Calnex will once again participate in the EANTC Transport & Cloud Networks Interop Test 2026, previously known as the EANTC MPLS SDN Interoperability Event. The event will be held in collaboration with the Upperside World Congress, formerly the MPLS World Congress. Testing will take place in Berlin from January 26 to February 6, 2026.

The technical test areas will focus on end-to-end validation of innovations in Segment Routing (SR-MPLS, SRv6), EVPN, Orchestration and Automation, and Time Synchronization. Key topics include segment routing with Flex-Algo and bi-directional policies, end-to-end network slicing, data center overlay automation, real-time telemetry, time sync over MACsec and DWDM, EVPN services over SRv6/SR-MPLS, SDN-controlled multicast, and Ethernet-based transport interoperability for AI/HPC workloads.

This year, Calnex will again support testing within the Time Synchronization area using Paragon-neo (including the new neo-S for testing at 400G and 800G), SNE Ignite and Sentry.

The test results will be published and presented live at the Paris Congress from March 24 to 26, 2026. EANTC’s showcase is a well-established event that benefits vendors and provides a unique ecosystem for fostering collaboration and innovation in the most advanced network scenarios. EANTC ensures a comprehensive testing environment tailored to service providers’ needs.
