Ekinops, a leading provider of next-generation optical transport
solutions to carriers and private network operators, introduced
today its new 100G solution optimized for metro and regional
network applications.
The solution was designed specifically for network operators who
need to cost-effectively move massive amounts of data between
multiple sites and cover distances of up to 1000 km.
“We took the time to talk to a number of large network operators
to understand the requirements that were critical for their
applications,” noted Francois Xavier Ollivier, COO of Ekinops.
“They told us they wanted coherent 100G, not only for their
long-haul applications but also for their metro and regional
networks, in order to increase capacity and reach.
"That’s exactly what we have delivered and are launching now,
with an unmatched performance-over-cost ratio.”
Ekinops' 100G metro and regional solution leverages true
coherent technology as the foundation for a new 100G transponder
and 100G muxponder. The 100G modules can be deployed in Ekinops’
compact C200HC chassis (2RU) and C600HC chassis (7RU). Each chassis
can support multiple modules for very high density.
Thanks to its expertise in delivering highly integrated systems,
Ekinops has produced an extremely energy-efficient, compact,
high-capacity metro solution, one that yields significant
operational savings for customers.
“One of Ekinops' missions is to provide simple, quick, and
easy-to-install solutions," Ollivier said. "This new metro/regional
offering combined with our amplifiers supporting auto turn-up,
auto-tuning, and auto-balancing will make the deployment virtually
plug-and-play. This will give carriers great service velocity and
adaptability for both anticipated and unanticipated growth.”
