PETAH TIKVA, Israel: ECI Telecom today announced that it has signed an agreement with ICE (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad), a government-owned utility company in Costa Rica, to provide it with an advanced backbone network across Costa Rica, enabling telecommunication traffic routing throughout the country.
ECI would deploy a complete optical transmission network and the entire infrastructure installation, based on its XDM Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP). The network would provide ICE the needed capacity to deliver voice and data services to fixed and mobile subscribers. The project is worth $59 million.
The deployment would start in three months. It would be completed over a 21-month period. The contract is subject to final approval by the General Comptroller of Costa Rica.
The project includes the delivery and installation of ECI's XDM converged SDH and DWDM optical platforms, which enable up to 40 channels of 10 Gigabits each, meeting the long-term bandwidth capacity needs of ICE. In addition, the XDM platform handles ATM, point-to-point IP and Gigabit Ethernet, giving ICE an advanced network architecture for future services and expansion.
Under the terms of the contract, ECI will provide all aspects of the fiber installation and design, supply the fiber optic cables, digging of the fiber canals and ducting the fiber installation works of over 1000 km across the urban and rural areas of Costa Rica.
