PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ECI Telecom, a global provider of next generation network solutions, announced today the signing of a partnership with Incospec Communications, one of the leading providers for terrestrial broadcast, cable, optical, satellite, telecom and wireless networks in Canada.
