TelicPhil has selected ECI Telecom for a DWDM network expansion. Utilising ECI's MSPP, the Philippines operator can expand its existing network to offer increased bandwidth capacity to deliver data and international voice services.
The Telecoms Infrastructure Corporation of the Philippines (Telicphil), a consortium of seven franchised telecom operators, has commissioned ECI Telecom as its sole supplier to expand Telecfil's National Digital Transmission Network (NDTN).
As a joint project, the NDTN is used by its various co-owners to lease bandwidth and deliver communication services nationwide across the Philippines. Utilising ECI's XDM Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP), NDTN's co-owners will extend the NDTN to provide for a 2 x 10Gb/s DWDM backbone network and offer greater bandwidth capacity for new revenue-generating data and international-calling services, while enabling future migration to a Next-Generation Network (NGN).
The XDM platform is part of ECI's 1Net business framework and enables operators to migrate from a legacy PSTN to next-generation networks, at their own pace, with ECI's Build-As-You-Grow architecture.
"We selected ECI's XDM DWDM solution for its field-proven reliability and the flexibility it provides as a future-proof platform. Having established a strong mutual relationship during the past five years, we are confident in the company's technological leadership and top-quality service support," stated said Dave M Rogers, Chief Technical Consultant of TelicPhil.
* ECI Telecom delivers communications platforms to carriers and service providers worldwide. Founded in 1961, the Israel-based ECI has delivered customer-focused networking solutions to the world's largest carriers. ECI's 1Net framework is aimed at focusing on facilitating optimal transition to NGN.
** TelicPhil was formed to act as maintenance contractor of the NDTN and is the Philippines second privately owned telecoms backbone. It is a joint project of seven enfranchised telecom companies led by BayanTel, which has a majority stake of over 83%. Other co-owning members are Smart, Globe, Extelcom, Digitel, ETPI and PT&T. Launched in 1999, the NDTN links the country to deliver transmission of telephone long distance services, cellular traffic, high-speed data, video, Internet, broadcast signals and other communication services.
