PARIS, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ekinops
(EuronextParis: EKI) (ISIN: FR0011466069), a network access
solutions specialist, announced today that it has successfully run
its first 5G business connectivity tests with Orange Business
Services in their Orange Labs environment.
For these tests, Ekinops used its 5G capable OneAccess router
based on OneOS6, the user-friendly modular software solution that
enables a range of built-in services for greater modularity. This
solution is capable of supporting network functions, such as
routing, firewall, SD-WAN and SBC (session border control), among
others.
This successful test was done in anticipation of the enterprise
connectivity needs leveraging the power of 5G networks. There are
many applications for large and small enterprise sites, such as
connectivity where wireline is not available or as a backup to a
wireline solution with fiber-like bandwidth.
"The results of this first test within the Orange Labs are very
promising. We have been able to assess in real-life conditions the
ability of our router to use 5G as a primary connection for
enterprises," said Vincent Munière, Ekinops group CTO and VP
R&D. "We are privileged to be able to work alongside our
longstanding partner Orange Business Services and its innovation
teams to perfect our new generation of products, including 5G and
software defined networks," he added.
"As the market expects a lot from 5G with 10 times more
capacity, 10 times less latency and 10 times more density, this
test provided one more opportunity to check the reality of 5G
connectivity for WAN solutions," shared Franck Morales, VP
Marketing, Connectivity BU, at Orange Business Services. "This
successful outcome confirms once again the many opportunities we
see with 5G for enterprises."
Ekinops and Orange Business Services are currently working
together to have packaged solutions ready for customers later in
2021.
