PETAH TIKVA, Israel -- ECI Telecom, a global provider of networking infrastructure solutions optimized for next-generation network (NGN) migration, today announced that the CESR SR9700 Carrier Ethernet Switch Router platform has been selected by SDN Communications, a Sioux Falls-based regional service provider, to support its fiber optic network - the largest in the upper midwest - and expand its Carrier Ethernet-based services.
ECI's award-winning CESR SR9700 is one of the industry's largest-capacity and highest density next generation Metro Ethernet solution. Optimized for Carrier Ethernet transport, the SR9700 has the ease-of-management and service-enabling qualities required by SDN for its next-generation network.
"We approached our existing telecom equipment vendors in need of a solution that would grow with us. The flexibility and cost effectiveness of ECI's product were important elements in our decision to work with them on this project," said Tom Durfee, Director of Network Planning and Operations of SDN. "ECI's 9700 series enables us to implement a converged all-IP network for both business and residential services, with scalable quality of service (QoS) and intelligent IP/MPLS, enabling efficient network design - a key advantage in today's dynamic environment."
"SDN's selection of the 9700 CESR platform further validates ECI's ability to effectively migrate competitive service providers' networks to next-generation technologies. The SR9700 versatility allows carriers to cost-effectively expand to meet the growing demands of customers, while delivering reliable advanced services," commented Dave Robison, President, ECI Telecom Americas.
