NIA is very much in line with this mission and we have no doubt that our participation and commitment to the community will further the industry as a whole."

Through independent testing via partner EANTC and marketing with partner Light Reading, NIA members share knowledge and customer insight to improve product integration, performance - and profitability.

"We are delighted to welcome ECI to the growing NIA community," says Jeff Hannah, NIA director. "Openness truly is the way to accelerate adoption of virtualization within telecom. And openness - through third-party testing, through collaboration within the NIA's Technical Advisory Committee and through the relationships our members are forging - will allow service providers and developer partners to realize the full potential of virtualization."

ECI joins other leading developers including Brocade, Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, Nokia, Mitel and ZTE. A full list of the NIA's membership may be found here.
