Ekinops acquires SixSq and steps up its presence in Edge Computing

We were familiar with Ekinops’ strong technical capabilities and personalized, collaborative approach following its close work with other Deutsche Telekom group members. These qualities have been central to this project’s success. Highly responsive and agile, Ekinops has delivered a flexible, open and cost-effective solution that aligns with our needs today and in the future.

Ekinops is the technology enabler we were looking for to support our plans for Croatia. This project will be invaluable in futureproofing our mobile and fixed networks to deliver at 5G quality and speed both our domestic and commercial subscribers demand.

Following the success of the original OneGate network management system, we partnered with Ekinops again to deliver this compact and portable version designed to make digitalization accessible to an even wider range of customers working in remote areas. Whether a vessel is trapped in the middle of a storm or a mobile rescue team is on a mission in an area without comms infrastructure, OneGate Compact will maintain connections and protect vital operations.

Delivering the connectivity and quality network experience our customers have come to expect requires a SDN strategy that implements access and optical products that are both interoperable and open. Ekinops’ collaboration and versatility allows us to enhance our networks in an innovative and scalable way that reduces our environmental footprint and scales our total cost of ownership.

We have been really impressed with Ekinops’ expertise and innovation in branch office connectivity and look forward to delivering this truly open and simple-to-deploy solution. The agility and close support we’ve experienced with EKINOPS has streamlined our migration towards an SDN model, allowing us to futureproof our network and expand our service offering.

Our global enterprise customers require increased flexibility in terms of connectivity solutions and infrastructure optimization. This uCPE solution developed with Ekinops and Dell Technologies will give enterprises further choice in terms of deployment and reinforces our ecosystem-based approach. We believe that flexible solutions such as these are essential for customers looking to run an increasing number of services at the Edge.

Ekinops was the only supplier that could provide a single operating system capable of supporting all our technologies including data and voice. Thanks to Ekinops’ open system approach, we now have complete control over our technology choices. Thanks to OneOS6 we have also been able to reduce the training requirements for our technicians, and decrease costs associated with maintaining multiple operating systems.

Adamo’s mission is to provide greater internet connectivity to Spain’s rural areas and smaller cities which are not well served by other operators. Central to this mission is extending our backbone network and this cannot happen without a trusted supplier. Working with Ekinops is helping us to provide competitive and future-proofed high-speed optical fiber services to the market at the lowest cost per bit, with better than the required reliability.

What we were looking for was a solution that could be easily deployed to provide our customers greater flexibility, enhanced capacity and high bit rate capabilities to effectively meet their growing business development and communications needs without compromising their budget. We’re pleased to provide the capability to access and deliver fully managed, point-to-point optical wavelength services over our geographically diverse fiber optic network using state-of-the-art Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network technology with up to 600G wavelength capabilities in the future.

EKINOPS was the only vendor that could provide a platform capable of aggregating multiple 10Gbps services together with 100Gbps into a high bit-rate signal. The technical knowledge of the Ekinops’ team was unsurpassed, and the solution was impressively cost effective. The additional network capacity has future-proofed our network substantially; we are now able to continue to scale our services in line with the bandwidth requirements of our residential and business.

Both the technology and the service received from EKINOPS have been remarkable. The specialist team understood our requirements and proposed an elegant solution that was easy and fast to implement. EKINOPS has greatly helped us in our mission to ensure the metropolitan territory of Chartres remains a highly connected and innovative district for digital services. We saw an immediate benefit in winning a new major project.

FORETHOUGHT’s mission is to bridge the digital divide that exists between the urban areas like Denver, where there are multiple options for high-speed services, and rural Colorado where those options don’t exist at the moment. Ekinops’ solutions are allowing us to bring a competitive product to the market at the lowest cost per bit and with the 99.999% reliability we need. The company has a long history and expertise in optical transport, which is why we chose to work with them. We’ve found the team to be a terrific partner for our business, one which is responsive to our needs and provides first-class support.

The Ekinops solution enables us to stay well ahead of rising traffic demands and supports our continued growth in number of users. It also enhances our datacenter interconnect services which we offer across major Turkish data centers. Ekinops’ sales and technical teams have worked tirelessly, managing to install the required equipment at the initially targeted PoPs (Points of Presence) and data centers in the midst of the Covid19 crisis.

We have always been impressed with Ekinops’ ability to deliver smart technical solutions to real-world problems. The launch of our wholesale Ethernet over VDSL2 package will enable our service provider customers to broaden the market for high-speed SME business connectivity and deliver real business benefits to companies right across our country.
