Ekinops Telco Standard platform is a field-proven solution that has reliably served network operators of all types around the globe for over two decades. Its ‘evergreen’ technology and modular design provides the ability to evolve and adapt to new networking technologies giving Ekinops customers the platform they need in their continual race to modernize their optical transport infrastructure. Learn how you can benefit too.
The Telco Standard platform’s ‘evergreen’ design supports multiple technology generations in the same shelf. Most chassis are designed with highly interconnected backplanes that lock it in to only supporting a subset of the total solution portfolio leaving you to mix and match pieces to get what you need. It also includes the award-winning C700HC chassis that supports all the same line cards, software and management as the other chassis in the platform allowing service providers to elegantly extend their existing networks into datacenter environments.
FlexRate™ is Ekinops programmable coherent optics technology. Instead of a fixed speed per card, multiple line rates are selectable to deliver the best possible performance, from 100G to 800G per wavelength, for the specific distance and fiber conditions of your link.
Yes. The same chassis and card architecture cover metro, regional, long-haul, and submarine applications, so a network built for metro today can extend to longer routes later using the same platform family rather than a different one.
Often, yes, through Alien Wavelength support. Ekinops coherent channels can be injected directly onto many existing third-party optical line systems, adding capacity without replacing your existing filtering or routing infrastructure.
Yes. It shares the same Celestis NMS management suite and card architecture as Ekinops other optical platforms, including the compact modular platform built for data center, so you can manage a mixed deployment from one console.
Yes. Celestis NMS connects to the optical nodes via SNMP and exposes an open Northbound Interface (NBI) supporting REST and SNMPv2c/SNMPv3 APIs, so you can integrate optical alarms and provisioning workflows into your own orchestrators or existing operations and billing platforms, rather than being limited to Celestis NMS as a standalone tool. Optional Kafka Queue functionality Kafka provides reliable messaging and streaming capabilities crucial for modern data architectures and real-time data processing applications.
