ECI’s optical networking solution, based on the XDM® and AccessWave portfolios, is the foundation of next-gen (NG) agile optical networks, adding flexibility, scalability and simplicity to traditionally static and unscalable networks.

With its unique design and capabilities, ECI’s portfolio offers operators (mobile, cable, carrier-of-carriers or utilities) a smooth and cost-effective transition to NG by leveraging the existing installed base.

ECI’s optical portfolio saves operators both CAPEX and OPEX, and also provides the following benefits:

• Wide range of 2-10 degree ROADMs – field-proven solution for edge-to-core mesh infrastructure, reducing network costs and easing provisioning of any new service.
• Packet-Optical converged platform (P-OTS)  – market-leading solution, allowing operators to implement existing TDM-based and NG Ethernet-based services on a single platform.
• All-Range systems – single portfolio from access to long haul, reducing operational costs by having a single NMS for all segments. This value also enables the swapping of cards between different segments, creating optimized capital investments.
• OTN-compliant portfolio – enabling interoperability with other WDM vendors, simplified GCC management and transparency for any service and any bit rate.

ECI's optical networking solutions work in concert with the entire ECI portfolio to provide a complete solution tied together by ECI's 1Net architectural framework .
