MPLS

Embedded multiple Ethernet ports for direct connection to customer sites

The MCS/M (MPLS Carrier Class Switch/Module) cards for ECI Telecom's XDM® multiservice provisioning platforms (MSPPs) provide cost-effective MPLS and Provider Bridge-based Ethernet services over the XDM-100 and XDM-1000 product lines.

These cards enable service providers to build an E2E access to core cost-effective, carrier class metro Ethernet network over new or existing SONET/SDH networks, supporting new revenue generating Ethernet-based applications and services.

MCS/M works in concert with the entire ECI portfolio to provide a complete solution tied together by ECI's 1Net architectural framework
