The Carrier Ethernet market remains one of the fastest growing and most competitive spaces in technology. There is just so much activity in this field and for carriers it must be difficult to determine which products to purchase.

One of the important players in the space is surely ECI Telecom and as such I decided to spend some time on a podcast with Rafael Francis (pictured), the Associate Vice President (AVP) Product Management for the company.

Some of the areas we discussed include the MPLS vs. PBB-TE debate, where the market growth is going to be, what we can expect to see more of and some thoughts on the ECI product line and how the company differentiates itself in a competitive market.

I learned a great deal on this podcast and certainly recommend it to others looking to get perspective on the Carrier Ethernet market as it relates to the wireless, optical spaces and more.
