Hi-FOCuS BLC family allows carriers to leverage existing lines to provide advanced voice services and transition to VoIP via single converged network
ECI Telecom Ltd. (NASDAQ: ECIL) announced today the expansion of its Hi-FOCuS? family to include next-generation voice capabilities utilizing a single broadband platform. Using ECI's solution, carriers can now provide direct TDM services via the broadband network. The Hi-FOCuS Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) family offers carriers a cost-effective transition to VoIP and Voice over Broadband (VoB) by leveraging existing infrastructure to provide advanced voice services.
ECI's Hi-FOCuS BLC broadband voice solutions are designed to provide high quality voice communications with increased convenience and flexibility, while reducing OPEX. Optimized to deliver voice over packet networks, Hi-FOCuS BLC enables carriers to deliver a wide range of voice services like POTS and ISDN telephony, leased lines, class services support and more.
ECI's unique Hi-FOCuS Multi-Service Access Gateway (MSAG) architecture drives improved, innovative convergence over access networks. With a simple upgrade to the existing Hi-FOCuS MSAG, customers experience the benefits of built-in voice over broadband capabilities.
ECI's HI-FOCuS BLC will be presented this week at the "21st Century Communications World Forum" in London, where visitors can experience Triple-Play applications in real time over ECI's Hi-FOCuS Broadband solutions.
"As carriers migrate to solutions comprising voice over broadband, products such as ECI's BLC platform provide them with a solid argument and business case," said Michael Howard, Principal Analyst and Co-Founder of Infonetics Research. "The Hi-FOCuS BLC can help carriers leverage their current investment in DSL while giving them a path into their next-generation broadband access network. The Hi-FOCuS BLC is part of the worldwide BLC market, which is accelerating fast from about $140M in 2004 to over $1.4B in 2007, as this new generation of BLCs displaces the current generation of NG DLCs."
"The addition of broadband voice capabilities to our Hi-FOCuS family enables us to offer advanced voice solutions directly and as part of our highly regarded and field-proven broadband portfolio," said Ofer Reviv, VP Marketing and Sales Support of ECI Telecom's Broadband Access Division. "ECI's Hi-FOCuS BLC solution satisfies carriers' needs for a smooth migration to voice over broadband solutions by offering low OPEX and combining voice with other broadband services into one highly scalable, secure, and redundant carrier-grade platform."
The Hi-FOCuS BLC family is a true carrier-grade solution that meets carriers' requirements for high-availability, life-line and security. In addition, the Hi-FOCuS BLC is designed to meet various deployment scenarios for residential and business users with extremely high scalability.
