PETACH TIKVA, Israel -- ECI Telecom, a global provider of next-generation network solutions, introduced today its vision for the true convergence of the packet and optical layers in the network – the Optimized Multi-Layer Transport system, or OMLT. The OMLT targets the shortcomings of today’s packet-optical transport system (P-OTS) to address service providers’ needs and challenges as they introduce new services in a timely and cost-effective way.
