ECI Enhances Its MSAN

PARIS -- ECI Telecom reinforces its 1Net framework for optimized migration to next-generation networks with new features and enhancements to its Hi-FOCuS™ Multi-Service Access Node (MSAN).

With the increasing complexity of telecom networks nowadays, ECI has recognized the service providers’ need to migrate to next-generation access networks and to manage the risks that emanate from this, whether those changes are driven by technology, business requirements or regulatory issues.

That means they need increasingly flexible platforms to support current and future services and regulatory requirements, whenever the market demands change. According to the latest market data of the FTTH Council Europe, the FTTH market is continuously evolving. Carriers face different regulatory realities and therefore need different solutions for their FTTH networks.

Today, ECI is announcing an elegant solution targeted to network operators and resellers who are ready to migrate to FTTX technology and need the flexibility to unbundle their GPON networks. As governments and regulators accelerate their initiatives to offer high-speed broadband to both more and less densely populated areas, ECI’s solution allows providers and municipalities who are investing into network infrastructure to be in a position to open their FTTX networks to all market players, reducing risk and getting faster return on investment once market conditions dictate this approach.
