ECI Telecom Ltd. (Nasdaq: ECIL) and Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT) have launched a new strategic relationship pairing ECI's IP DSLAM portfolio with Motorola's Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN) and Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) solutions. Increasing consumer demand for higher-speed broadband, driven by the explosive growth in bandwidth-intensive content and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications, have caused carriers to recognize the need for Ultra-Broadband access network solutions.
The multi-year agreement provides Motorola access to ECI's complete portfolio of access infrastructure products including Outside Plant (OSP) and Central Office (CO) IP DSLAM solutions.
Current Analysis analyst Erik Keith said, "Motorola couldn't have chosen a better technology ally than ECI for extending its Ultra-Broadband access portfolio," said "ECI's award-winning solutions deliver a rich array of access network and QoS features such as integrated data, video and voice that clearly position the company as a leading IP DSLAM provider." Current Analysis has recently ranked ECI's leading IP platform as the top CO DSLAM in the market.
Motorola Connected Home Solutions VP marketing and business development Kevin Keefe said, “ECI's technology and ability to capture market share at such a rapid rate makes it a compelling player in both the Ultra-Broadband Access and IPTV markets."
ECI senior VP sales and marketing Ido Gur said, “This strategic relationship will help strengthen ECI's position in the access arena, specifically in North America, and help enhance Motorola's position as a leading provider of Ultra-Broadband access solutions for carrier customers."
