AD Macedonian Telecommunications, Republic of Macedonia
ECS has been present in AD Macedonian Telecommunication (formerly PTT Macedonia) since 1991, when mVAX 3100 with VAX/VMS was delivered and installed.
In 1994 one of the first installations of 64-bit RISC architecture (Alpha) in Macedonia was performed in Macedonian Telecom, where ECS delivered and installed DEC3500x2, DEC3400 & DEC3300 servers.
In 1995 ECS designed, installed, configured and maintained the first 2MB LAN/WAN based on DECbrouter 90. The first Internet services in Macedonia through MAKPAK were based on Alpha Server 1000 with UNIX servers and Cisco routers in 1995. As the number of subscribers grew, so did the need for more power, leading to the delivery and installation of a cluster consisting of 2 UNIX Alpha Servers 1000.
In 2001 ECS completed the project for implementation of a system for structured cabling based on products of the Swiss company Reichle&DeMassari.
The same year ECS performed the TeMIP project that included designing and implementation of Fault Management solution for 21 Siemens EWSD Exchanges, including: * Connection of 21 exchanges on Alpha server and configuration of transfer files over FTAM * HP OV TeMIP solution for Alarm Handling in TruCluster environment (two Alpha servers) * HP OV resynchronization and alarm archiving in Oracle DB in TruCluster environment * Other services: training, technical support and maintenance * Main subcontractor of ITS Telecommunication Engineering
At the beginning of 2006, ECS was awarded a contract for supply of Reichle&DeMassari cabling equipment for the optical fiber LAN networks of Macedonian Telecom.
During 2006, ECS supplied two HP RISC rx4440 servers for the needs of the project for upgrading of the SAP/R3 system of Macedonian Telecom, and another HP RISC rx4440 server for the needs of the Billing system. Both contracts include 3 year SW and HW maintenance and support.
In 2007, ECS supplied equipment for the Provisioning System (HP Itanium rx6600) and for Oracle Real Application Cluster (HP Itanium rx2660 Cluster, Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and Oracle RAC licenses), with 4 years maintenance and support contracts.

As an extension of this system at the end of 1999 a cluster of two Alpha servers 4100 was installed, becoming the largest cluster in Macedonia at that time.
Within the project for establishing the Y2K compliance, ECS designed and installed ESA10000 (Enterprise Storage Area) – the largest data storing system in the country. In 2000 ECS performed the project for delivery, installation and configuration of active network equipment (Gigabit Ethernet switches) from Marconi for the needs of Mobimak, which is one of the fastest combined optical networks in Macedonia. In 2004 ECS implemented for Mobimak the solution for acceleration of Internet over mobile phone, in cooperation with Kapsch CarrierCom AG, Austria.
Currently, ECS is supplying equipment and shall perform the upgrade of T-Mobile’s Alpha GS80 servers, used for their Billing System.
