Ekinops, a leading provider of next generation dynamic
multi-reach long-haul, regional, and metro transport aggregation
solutions for service providers and enterprises, today announced
that FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTGX), a leading
provider of complex interconnection services, has chosen the
Ekinops 360 multi-reach optical transport system for the deployment
of 10G and Gigabit Ethernet services.
FiberNet will utilize the Ekinops 360, a carrier class optical
transport platform for metro, regional, and long-haul networks, to
deliver 10 Gigabit services in the New York/New Jersey region and
in Los Angeles.
Density, reliability and ease of management were cited as
reasons FiberNet chose the Ekinops 360 platform. �We were looking
for a high-density, reliable product for high-bandwidth 10 Gigabit
services and we found that in the Ekinops 360,� said Ernie
Hoffmann, senior vice president of engineering and operations for
FiberNet Telecom Group.
�From the beginning, the Ekinops equipment has been easy to
install, and its management system has been particularly
user-friendly,� he continued. �Its reliability and ease of use has
been great. We are now looking to Ekinops for Gigabit Ethernet and
2.5 Gigabit service aggregation as well.�
The attractive cost of the Ekinops equipment was also a factor
in FiberNet�s decision, Hoffmann noted. �The volume of 10 Gigabit
services has grown over the past year. For FiberNet to continue to
meet our customers� expectations, we need to provide world class
service at a competitive price. The Ekinops 360 helps us achieve
that goal.�
With its T-Chip �Transport on a Chip� technology foundation, the
Ekinops 360 equipment packs its transport intelligence into a much
smaller, more efficient design, reducing costs, footprint, ongoing
power consumption, and manufacturing delivery times to service
providers and enterprises.
�FiberNet chose the right partner in its search for a low-cost,
reliable solution,� said Rob Adams, vice president of marketing for
Ekinops. �With our T-Chip at the heart of all our equipment, we
have been able to provide industry leading economics, minimize our
footprint, reduce ongoing costs of power and management and deliver
solutions quickly to FiberNet and our many other customers,
allowing them to stay ahead of their competition.�
