ECI Telecom announced that its flagship Hi-FOCuS MSAN platform now supports over one million IPTV subscribers worldwide, covering Western and Eastern Europe, Israel and Taiwan. Top tier carriers rely on ECI's highly scalable, edge to access broadband solution for advanced IP video services.

"ECI has been a leader in the IPTV market in Europe and Asia from the start, and we rated it as the number two IPTV access company globally in 2006 with 18 percent market share," stated Bob Larribeau, Principal Analyst at TelecomView. ECI's carrier-class Hi-FOCuS MSAN helps carriers deliver IPTV with advanced multicast capabilities, effectively providing any service- such as voice, data and video services - on any architecture and over any technology, including copper and fiber. With its industry leading QoS, security and high capacity capabilities, and field-proven scalability, the Hi-FOCuS MSAN is the ideal broadband access platform to support IPTV deployments.

The Hi-FOCuS' unique capabilities include multi-mode multicast support, which provides carriers with flexibility as to the video architecture type in which the multicast is operated. The MSAN offers enhanced multicast implementation that enables fast-zapping and fast-recovery in case of failure. It also provides improved management information to help service providers optimize their IPTV and video networks.

"Supporting over one million IPTV subscribers underscores our ability to deliver best-of-breed and highly innovative, efficient and scalable solutions that exceed customer expectations," said Ofer Reviv, General Manager of ECI Telecom's Broadband Access Division.
