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).
The Apollo 9900 series from ECI Telecom is the densest, most energy efficient, hybrid OTN/packet switch on the market today, the company claims.
ECI will introduce the Apollo OPT 9900 series, the newest addition to its Apollo optical product line, at the WDM and Next Generation Optical Networking event in Nice, France, 22-25 June, at booth #11.
Israeli optical transport vendor ECI Telecom has introduced the 400G flexible grid blade for its Apollo packet-optical product platform.
The 400G blade is designed to transport data with higher spectral efficiency and port density, resulting in reduced rack space and lower power consumption, the company says.
