PMC-Sierra has announced that ECI Telecom, a global provider of networking infrastructure solutions, has selected PMC-Sierra’s ADM 622, ARROW 2488, TEMAP 84FDL and HDLIU 32 devices for its BroadGate (BG) Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) family, including the BG-20 and BG-30. ECI’s BG family has helped position the company as the number-one ranked transmission equipment vendor in India for the past three consecutive years according to Voice & Data, a leading telecom magazine in India. PMC-Sierra’s chipset architecture provides ECI’s BG family with a cost-effective and highly scalable µMSPP platform that enables operators to easily provision new Ethernet-based services and maintain high network resiliency, making it an ideal solution particularly for emerging markets.

“PMC-Sierra’s metro transport solutions provide us with a flexible architecture that scales from STM-1 (155M) to STM-16 (2.5G) while minimising development costs by leveraging common software and hardware components,” said 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,” said 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.”
