Vtel Selects ECI for Converged Metro/Regional Optical Network

Vermont Telephone, the largest independent operating carrier (IOC) in Vermont, selected ECI Telecom's XDM metro and regional converged optical network solution for WDM, SONET and Ethernet. ECI's XDM single architecture metro solution enables VTel to eliminate separate WDM, SONET and Ethernet equipment, thereby significantly reducing CapEx and OpEx. Additionally, the XDM solution provides VTel with integrated regional optical capabilities that allow for longer distances without electrical regeneration. Financial terms were not disclosed.
