PETAH TIKVA, Israel -- ECI Telecom (NASDAQ: ECIL - News) today introduced a family of Carrier Ethernet line cards for its leading Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) product line. These new, cost-effective modules enable operators to deliver a myriad of carrier-class Ethernet services and applications that include triple-play services, Business VPNs, wholesale applications and comprehensive solutions for mobile operators. Multiple carriers have already ordered the cards, which will be commercially available in early 2007.

This new offering, which is part of ECI's XDM® platform, underscores ECI's continued product innovation in Multi-Service transport solutions. ECI is leveraging its success with NG SDH/SONET, allowing operators to rapidly introduce revenue generating carrier-class Ethernet services. ECI was recently recognized by Gartner as a 'Leader' in its Next Generation SDH Equipment Magic Quadrant.

"By incorporating Ethernet services enablers, that interface with the BroadGate® access product line, ECI's XDM customers now benefit from the ability to gracefully transition their networks to offer important new Ethernet-based triple play services, while maintaining support for lucrative legacy SDH service offerings."
