ECI Telecom and Cirpack have introduced a joint solution to help telecom service providers in Europe migrate their legacy local loops to next generation access networks and global VoIP infrastructures according to the TISPAN architecture. The ECI/Cirpack solution is designed to enable incumbent operators to easily migrate their wireline voice infrastructures and quickly turn off their legacy PSTN without disrupting existing services or changing the equipment used at the customer premises. Alternative operators and Internet Service Providers can also benefit from the ECI/Cirpack solution to offer analogue and ISDN services using MSAG already deployed for delivering advanced broadband services. Leveraging local loop unbundling regulations with the ECI/Cirpack solution, alternative operators can now provide triple-play services, high-speed broadband Internet access, video and voice with the same user experience than services from incumbent operators. The ECI/Cirpack solution is comprised of ECI's Hi-FOCuST and Cirpack's MultiNode-B platforms. ECI's Hi-FOCuS is a Multi-Service Access Gateway delivering all flavours of DSL as well as legacy voice interfaces from a single shelf. It converts voice traffic to/from VoIP so users can keep their existing phone devices and operators can migrate their infrastructure to VoIP. Cirpack MultiNode-B is a highly modular Class-5 switch controlling the Hi-FOCuS voice interfaces using H.248/Megaco to deliver all the legacy phone services users are expecting and ensuring seamless communications with the PSTN. ECI's Hi-FOCuS and Cirpack's MultiNode-B were developed to handle the largest voice infrastructures, enabling massive migration of primary line services to VoIP.
