Mplify announced an update to its Carrier Ethernet certification program aimed at validating performance for AI-centric networks. The update enhances the existing certification framework to accommodate the needs of Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads, emphasizing service performance for critical applications.

The Carrier Ethernet certification now features two profiles: Carrier Ethernet for Business and Carrier Ethernet for AI. This separation aims to provide comprehensive validation, ensuring networks meet the requirements for both enterprise applications and AI-driven workloads.

The Carrier Ethernet for Business certification, previously known as MEF 3.0, continues to assure service providers of conformance and reliability across their network offerings. Mplify includes this certification as part of its broader efforts to standardize Carrier Ethernet delivery for enterprises.

Meanwhile, the newly introduced Carrier Ethernet for AI certification focuses on real-time AI workloads, confirming that service providers can meet the stringent demands of AI applications. Use cases include efficient connectivity for distributed AI training and inference.

Additionally, Mplify plans to introduce a Carrier Ethernet over Broadband certification. This will extend the quality assurance of Carrier Ethernet capabilities to broadband access services, enabling providers to maintain high standards in service delivery over various network infrastructures.

Daniel Bar Lev, Chief Product Officer at Mplify, stated, “With the Carrier Ethernet for AI certification, Mplify is extending the proven foundation of Carrier Ethernet for Business into the AI era.” This indicates a clear commitment to enhancing service assurance amidst the evolving demands of networking.

The Carrier Ethernet for Business certification is currently available, while the Carrier Ethernet for AI certification will roll out in early 2026.
