ECI Telecom Ltd nyse|ECILF, is a telecommunication equipment manufacturer based in Petah Tikva, Israel.

Established in 1961, ECI delivers a broad solution to converged telecom networks: Broadband Multi-service access gateways (MSAG), Service Edge Routers, BRAS, Optical transport, NGN Voice over IP and Core IP/MPLS routers. These converged next generation network solutions are provided to leading carriers and service providers of the world.

In the 1990s the company became very successful with a DCME product line which provides real-time compression of phone/voice, by employing various voice compression techniques, including using periods of silence to multiplex voice calls on fewer E1/T1 lines.

The company stumbled during the days of burst of the Tech bubble and the company has since struggled to regain its previous glory. A nice recovery during the 2000s lead to its acquisition for $1.2B in 2007.
