ECI Telecom named supplier for network expansion in Costa Rica

AUGUST 26, 2008 -- ECI Telecom, a global provider of networking infrastructure solutions, today announced that Radiográfica Costarricense S.A. (RACSA), telecom provider for data, Ethernet, and Internet services in Costa Rica, will expand its network with ECI's XDM Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP). The network is managed by ECI's LightSoft multi-layer network management system, delivering an end-to-end product to manage the different equipments, network segments, and technologies under one management system.

Faced with increased competition in Costa Rica, RACSA has begun a major expansion project to provide more data services as well as add video and voice services to its customers. To support their aggressive expansion efforts, RACSA issued an open RFP to leading equipment vendors to provide transport offerings to support its existing and future networks. ECI's Global Services Division unit, together with ECI Costa Rica staff, have worked closely with RACSA to allow the full deployment of an end-to-end turnkey project. In addition, ECI is now concluding with RACSA the expansion of this network.

With RACSA as a new customer to ECI in Costa Rica, ECI's XDM MSPP Platform is now used by the two largest carriers in the country. ECI operates a local office in Costa Rica, which provides pre- and post-sales support to customers in the region, as well as local coverage for involvement in several other projects in the country.
