ECI’s Hi-FOCuS MSAN can help carriers to deliver IPTV with multicast capabilities, by providing voice, data and video services, on any architecture and over any technology, including copper and fiber.

The Hi-FOCuS’ capabilities include multi-mode multicast support that provides carriers with an option to choose video architecture type in which the multicast is operated. The MSAN can offer multicast implementation that enables zapping and recovery in case of failure. It can also provide management information to help service providers optimize their IPTV and video networks.

Ofer Reviv, general manager of ECI Telecom’s broadband access division, said: 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. We are able to support service providers as they introduce value-added services, such as IPTV and video on demand, to their bundle of offerings. Through the Hi-FOCuS platform, this migration is future-proof and seamless, providing a cost-effective offering to help maintain and attract new subscribers.
