ECI’s Network Design Platform (NDP) is a unique planning, analysis and inventory tool that provides a 360-degree view of the network along with sophisticated functionality and services.
With the NDP, carriers and service providers can:
- Integrate inventory and management systems
- Utilize powerful automated analysis and planning
- Proactively improve network reliability
- Predict and respond to future demands
- Initiate network optimization
These capabilities can help increase profitability, reduce capex and opex and maintain a consistently high quality of service (QoS).
The NDP can also be used in conjunction with supplementary services, leveraging its outstanding capabilities alongside ECI’s expert network services.
Main benefits
- Optimally transition and plan next-gen networks via an evolutionary path that includes multi-technology support (WDM/ROADM, Carrier Ethernet, TDM).
- Reduce network complexity and operating costs. Get network analysis, planning and optimization in a single tool.
- Enhance network performance and reliability with failure simulation and network growth analysis.
- Maximize utilization of installed base. Leverage past investments and improve profitability.
- Facilitate decision-making with in-depth analysis including vulnerability, utilization and “what-if” scenarios.
- Easily provision new services through direct connection to the management system.
Main capabilities
- Universal support for all types of networks and equipment
