ECI’s Hi-FOCuS platform is a key element of ECI’s 1Net business
framework, which provides an optimized path for network transition
for carriers worldwide. The Hi-FOCuS’ future-proof capabilities are
attractive to customers, as they can gradually introduce new
services, while guaranteeing support for legacy services.
“We are truly pleased to be commended by Frost & Sullivan for our
innovative edge and leadership in the IPTV access market. ECI
continually strives to take our products to the next level,
anticipating the needs of our customers and delivering solutions
that maintain the highest of standards. This recognition further
validates our successful Hi-FOCuS MSAN line and the value it offers
our customers for current and future network deployments,” said Tony
Scarfo, Chief Strategy Officer of ECI Telecom.
As of August 2008, Frost & Sullivan expects that the world IPTV
access infrastructure market is poised for solid growth at a robust
double digit CAGR from CY 2008 to CY 2014 with revenues estimated to
reach shy of four and a half billion dollar mark as evidenced by
increased activity in fiber roll-outs. This was driven primarily by
existing and potential consumer video services that are best
delivered via a high-bandwidth fiber infrastructure, and the intense
competition among communication service providers.
ECI will be formally honored with the 2008 Global Product
Differentiation Award at Frost & Sullivan’s 2009 Excellence in
Information & Communication Technologies Awards Banquet on January
22, 2009 in San Antonio, Texas.
