MEF 3.0

It began with a vision. Slide 3 - Existing vision slide perhaps with a white paper graphic added   We put this on paper as our vision and strategy and called it the Third Network, we socialized it with our members, educated the industry at large and developed technical works such as an LSO framework and Open APIs. We worked with existing and new SDOs and Open Source projects to establish our place in the new digital economy and avoid overlaps with other industry bodies.

Now we are realizing the vision. Level 1 Framework Slide   So now we have a framework that we are bring to market that takes the vision to reality, enabling the industry to build and deliver orchestrated, end-end services in a structure and standardized, delivering no only specs and APIS and, working with Open Source projects and technology vendors, we are part of larger solutions delivered to the industry,  focused on where standardization makes most sense. You will choose how you want to implement these new technologies – we are an important neutral enabler

Comparing MEF 3.0 with CE 2.0 Frameworks Global, interconnected network-based services enabling the digital economy APIs to automate, orchestrate and communicate subscriber intent to the network. Expanded, modular, agile certification to assure service integrity. Expanded, open, collaborative community to accelerate innovation and value creation.
