ECI, a
global provider of ELASTIC Network® solutions for service
providers, critical infrastructures and data centre operators, announced today
it was chosen by Idea Cellular Ltd (Idea), the third largest mobile operator
in India and sixth-ranked in the
world, to upgrade its optical network. Idea is upgrading its network to support
ever increasing customer demand for bandwidth and data. ECI's access DWDM
solution will be rolled out across more than half of the operators' network.
As mobile
phone penetration in India grows, so
too has the demand for mobile data as the country is considered one of the
world's largest consumers of mobile data. The ECI solution will ensure maximum
utilization of Idea's existing infrastructure, while creating a future-proof
solution that already accounts for additional upgrades. This will ultimately
help Idea meet the evolving demand across the market, while fulfilling its
commitment to Digital India, the country's initiative to connect rural and
underserved areas of the population with high-speed internet access.
"ECI
is committed to providing scalable, future-proof solutions that significantly
benefit telecom operators worldwide," said President of ECI India, Sajeet
Shivashankaran. "Our products and solutions, including the access DWDM platform,
provide the necessary flexibility to expand and grow with the changing needs of
our customers.
"Idea is a pan-India wireless broadband operator offering high
speed mobile internet and digital content services to our customers. ECI has
long been our partner and has supported us in rolling out 3G/4G networks with
optimum solutions. We will be able to enhance capacity and meet the
ever-growing demand for data with the new solution," added Mr. Anil
Tandan, Chief Technology Officer, Idea Cellular.
