ECI Telecom is committed to ensuring our service edge routers and service management software interoperate seamlessly with routing and switching equipment installed in service provider networks.

To ensure the interoperability of our solutions, we participate in multi-vendor interoperability events, pursue independent interoperability testing with leading vendors and conduct in-house testing in our state-of-the art, multi-million dollar Quality Assurance Test Lab.

Multi-vendor Interoperability Test Events

Networld+Interop Vegas iLabs Internetworking Demonstration May 2004

Early on the company joined leading network equipment vendors at the advanced internetworking demonstration of Networld+Interop's iLabs. Interoperability demonstrations focused on MPLS VPNs, IPv6/IPv4/MPLS integration, IP multicast and Quality of Service (QoS).

Isocore Internetworking Lab Completes IP-Optical Integration Technology Validation Featuring IP Services over an Intelligent Optical Core

We participated in the industry's first IP-Optical integration testing, conducted by the Isocore Internetworking Lab in October 2003. The IP-Optical technology validation involved the deployment of multi-vendor IP/MPLS applications including Layer 2 VPNs, Layer 3 VPNs, VPLS, and Fast Reroute applications, over a fully dynamic intelligent optical core built using a GMPLS control plane with routing.
