Idea Cellular, the third largest mobile operator in India has selected ECI to upgrade its optical network to support ever increasing customer demand for bandwidth and data.
ECI is a global provider of ELASTIC Network solutions to CSPs, utilities as well as data center operators. ECI's access DWDM solution will be rolled out across more than half of the operators' network.
As mobile phone penetration in India grows, so too has the demand for mobile data as the country is considered one of the world's largest consumers of mobile data.
According to ECI, its DWDM solution will ensure maximum utilization of Idea's existing infrastructure, while creating a future-proof solution that already accounts for additional upgrades. This will ultimately help Idea meet the evolving demand across the market.
