NOVEMBER 17, 2008 -- PMC-Sierra says its ADM 622, ARROW 2488, and T1/E1 transport equipment enables ECI to deliver highly scalable optical metro access platforms for wireless backhaul.

NOVEMBER 17, 2008 -- ECI Telecom (search for ECI Telecom) has selected PMC-Sierra's (search for PMC-Sierra) ADM 622, ARROW 2488, TEMAP 84FDL, and HDLIU 32 devices for its BroadGate Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) family, including the BG-20 and BG-30.

PMC-Sierra say its chipset architecture provides ECI's BG family with a cost-effective and highly scalable µ MSPP platform that enables operators to easily provision new Ethernet-based services and maintain high network resiliency, making it particularly ideal for emerging markets.

"PMC-Sierra's metro transport solutions provide us with a flexible architecture that scales from STM-1 (155 Mbits/sec) to STM-16 (2.5 Gbits/sec) while minimizing development costs by leveraging common software and hardware components," explains Alon Moshes, vice president and head of the MSPP Line of Business at ECI. "ECI is focused on enabling the exponential growth of wireless backhaul infrastructure, and PMC-Sierra has helped propel us into a market leading position with cost-effective, future-proof platforms."

"ECI is a leader in the metro access market and has achieved significant market share in the emerging markets with its BroadGate platforms," adds Babak Samimi, director of strategic marketing for PMC-Sierra's Communication Products Division. "PMC-Sierra is excited to have a partner like ECI that enables us to participate in high growth wireless backhaul markets in emerging economies."
