PETAH TIKVA, Israel--(Business Wire)--
ECI Telecom, a global provider of networking infrastructure solutions optimized
for next-generation network (NGN) migration, today announced that it has been
chosen as the sole supplier by the Telecoms Infrastructure Corporation of the
Philippines (TELICPHIL) a consortium of seven franchised telecom operators, to
expand its National Digital Transmission Network (NDTN).
As a joint project, the NDTN is used by its various co-owners to lease bandwidth
and deliver communication services nationwide across the Philippines. Utilizing
ECI`s XDM Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP), NDTN Co-owners thru
TELICPHIL will extend the NDTN to provide for a 2 X 10Gb/s DWDM backbone network
and offer greater bandwidth capacity for new, revenue generating data and
international-calling services, while enabling future migration to a
next-generation network.
The XDM platform is part of ECI`s 1Net business framework and enables operators
to migrate from a legacy PSTN to next-generation networks, at their own pace,
with ECI`s Build-As-You-Grow architecture.
"We selected ECI`s XDM DWDM solution for its field-proven reliability and the
flexibility it provides as a future-proof platform. Having established a strong
mutual relationship during the past five years, we are confident in the
company's technological leadership and top-quality service support," said Dave
M. Rogers, Chief Technical Consultant of TELICPHIL.
"This win once again demonstrates the strength of our 1Net solution and
innovative edge, and further validates our leadership in the Philippines market
as a reliable and preferred network partner," said Gilles Pazner, President
Asia-Pacific of ECI Telecom. "Our transport and broadband access solutions and
services have been selected by all major operators in the Philippines, and we
are excited to further extend our long-term relationship with TELICPHIL."
