PARIS, Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Ekinops (Euronext Paris - FR0011466069 – EKI), a
leading provider of carrier-grade optical transport and network
access solutions to service providers, has been selected by itself
s.r.o., a major telecom service provider in the Czech Republic, to provide additional
metropolitan network capacity via its optical backbone and between
its strategic data center hubs in Brno and Ivančice.
The advanced DWDM data center solution utilizes Ekinops'
FlexRate™ high capacity optical transport platform, operating at
200 Gbps, and aggregates multiple 10GbE clients together with
100GbE traffic on the same alien wavelength, dramatically lowering
the cost-per-bit and network OPEX.
"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," said Martin Janda, CTO, itself s.r.o. "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."
Ekinops' FlexRate technology allows service providers to select,
on a per-application basis, the line rate that best meets their
needs and to modify that line rate to enable additional capacity to
be added to the network as customer demand for bandwidth
increases.
Ekinops' FlexRate can operate on either dual fiber or single
fiber networks, regardless of line speed, allowing itself s.r.o. to
use the same platform for both applications, providing both new
levels of operational simplicity and flexibility to the Czech
service provider.
"Much of the Czech economy depends on the connectivity services
provided by itself s.r.o., so it is vital that its network capacity
stays well ahead of customer demand," comments Frank Dedobbeleer, VP Group Sales EMEA &
APAC at Ekinops. "This is another example of how our optical
transport solutions are enabling service providers to redefine the
limits of their optical networks, driving down costs and increasing
flexibility at the same time."
itself s.r.o. serves a huge and varied customer base, providing
its own optical backbone network that stretches for 2,200km across
the Czech Republic. It also
provides critical data center services to other operators, as well
as distributing internet and IPTV to 40,000 business and
residential customers in 47 cities and villages.
Following the initial implementation, awarded to Ekinops
following a competitive tender in 2018, the solution has been
expanded to utilize Ekinops' 600Gbps FlexRate module to connect a
variety of new locations across the country. The same FlexRate
solution with a single carrier 400Gbps will be implemented on a
newly built, high capacity DWDM system based on EKINOPS 360
platform, scheduled for build during the autumn of 2019.
