DB Systel has recruited ECI to build and deploy a flexible optical backbone network in Germany.
Cloud communications provider, Ribbon Communications has entered into an agreement to acquire, via merger, SDN/NFV and end-to-end packet-optical transport provider ECI Telecom Group.
Optical transport systems vendor, ECI has partnered with service distributor, WDC Networks to better serve Brazilian internet service providers (ISPs).
Now available from ECI is the TM1200, a 1.2T blade (dual 600G channel) that allows for a programmable, adaptive optical network.
ECI Telecom Group intends to float on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, with the aim of raising $230 million in its initial public offering (IPO) for future investments, debt reduction and an increase in its brand profile. The company would also use the funding to help capture the opportunity represented by 5G.
ECI has introduced the ELASTIC Analytics suite of network services. These new services employ advanced algorithms, machine learning and big data analytics to provide network operations and planning departments with the insights to properly maintain, design and re-engineer their networks.
The plans for an economic recovery will undoubtedly need vast levels of public and private investment.
