The NaaS Accelerator program plants the seeds of the new, collaborative work within MEF that is defining a new era of Network-as-a-Service, as well as validating the real-world use cases behind MEF standards and the broader industry.
Within the program, MEF member service providers and technology suppliers collaborate to develop and demonstrate NaaS use cases that validate, evolve, and inspire the work of MEF in the areas of LSO APIs, LSO Payloads, and LSO Blockchain.
NaaS Accelerators offer groundbreaking demonstrations of the emerging services and technologies connecting the automated ecosystem—including SASE, SD-WAN, Zero Trust, business and operational service automation with LSO APIs, DLT/Blockchain, AI/ML, security, intent-based networking, IP, Carrier Ethernet, Optical Transport and satellite services, 5G, network slicing, IoT, multi-edge cloud, service assurance, and more—the leading-edge topics that are fueling our industry’s vision, embodied in MEF’s membership.
