Ekinops Launches Network-As-A-Service Solutions in Belgium Ekinops announced the launch in Belgium of a new generation of network solutions, Network-as-a-Service (NaaS). This initiative notably relies on the high-bandwidth, proven infrastructure of Proximus Wholesale (wholesale telecom services market), enabling local operators to deliver digital services that are more agile, faster to deploy and fully software-driven. At the heart of this collaboration is ONE (Open Network Ecosystem), the new strategic product portfolio from Proximus Wholesale. ONE combines Proximus' reliable, high-performance national connectivity with Ekinops' advanced software technologies, including universal customer premises equipment (uCPE), the virtualization solution layer OneOS6-LIM, and the OneManage management and monitoring system dedicated to automated service orchestration and lifecycle management. This ecosystem allows partners to activate services remotely through a secure marketplace of virtual network functions (VNFs), covering routing, security, SD-WAN and voice solutions. By replacing dedicated hardware appliances with virtualized solutions hosted on a single uCPE, wholesale partners gain agility, reduce delivery lead times and simplify the entire service lifecycle. The software-driven ONE approach enables on-demand bandwidth, automated provisioning and remote updates, with no need for on-site physical intervention. This approach reduces installation times, improves reliability and accelerates the deployment of new services. By introducing a single uCPE deployable at the network edge as the foundation of the ONE portfolio, we enable our partners to operate in a much simpler and more efficient way. Fewer on-site devices, fewer technical interventions and faster service activation all contribute to a smoother, more scalable operating model for Belgian service providers, telecom operators and their customers. This unified approach represents a major step toward flexible, software-based networks at the edge. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Apr 27

Ekinops Upgrades Submarine Cable for Global Caribbean Network Ekinops announced that Global Caribbean Network (GCN) has upgraded its existing subsea cable network using the Ekinops360 WDM platform with FlexRate™? technology. GCN operates a cable system in the Guadeloupe region of the Caribbean consisting of critical routes unserved by other cables. With service areas separated by long spans that have challenging optical requirements, GCN needed a solution that could support services from 10G to 100G on extended links over 350Km. Using the 400FRS04-SF module, ROADMs and low noise amplifiers from Ekinops, GCN is now able to deliver the bandwidth needed for the local service providers throughout the region to offer high bandwidth internet services to the local populations. GCN built its original cable system as part of a public service delegation contract with the regional council of Guadeloupe. By its nature, the contract requires control of the cable be returned to the regional government after a fixed period of time. As a pre- requisite GCN needed to modernize the infrastructure with a future-proof network capable of supporting higher capacities. Recognizing Ekinops' ability to deliver the solution, services and support it needed within a tight schedule, GCN selected the Ekinops360 even after comparing it to purpose-built submarine systems.

EKINOPS Adds Edge-Optimized 100G Solution to Ekinops360 WDM Portfolio EKINOPS has released its new PM_100HDF01 pluggable module for the Ekinops360 WDM optical transport system. Cost-optimized to address the growing demand for 100G at the network edge, the PM_100HDF also has the high performance required for long haul applications over thousands of kilometers. Driven by the growth of edge applications such as 5G mobile, edge computing, artificial intelligence and even standard broadband access, bandwidth demand is exploding in the access portion of the network. In order to meet that demand, service providers are now migrating their existing 10G networks to 100G requiring a cost-effective solution that can be quickly and easily deployed across thousands of network locations. While pluggable optics would seem to be the ideal solution, coherent 100G transceivers in the QSFP28 form factor are not readily available in commercial quantities now and those that are offer low performance and lack certain key functionalities service providers need. As a transponder-based solution, the new PM 100HDF01 offers the performance needed to deliver connectivity to any location from the edge to ultra-long haul. What's more, unlike pluggable solutions, it enables a managed service demarcation point that simplifies SLA monitoring and service delivery. As a pure transport solution, it fits neatly into existing service provider operational models to simplify troubleshooting and speed issue resolution. The PM 100HDF01 is built on Ekinops' long-running and highly successful 200G FlexRate optical technology that has been cost-optimized for 100G. It can be deployed as a capacity upgrade in any type of network whether it's a new-build greenfield network, an existing brownfield network or even as an alien wavelength over a third-party line system providing simple scalable bandwidth with rapid ROI. Compatible with Ekinops 10G aggregation modules, service providers can use it to deliver low speed services over high-speed links allowing them to maintain their revenue base and migrate services over time. Ekinops PM 100HDF01 is currently generally available and has already received considerable interest from several new and existing customers. Price Target Changed • Sep 10

EKINOPS S.A. Announces Availability of New Cfp2-Based 400G Transport Solution EKINOPS S.A. announces the availability of its new PM_400FR05-C2A pluggable module for the Ekinops360 WDM optical transport system. This new line card is the first coherent module from Ekinops based on 400G pluggable line interfaces, offering lower cost, lower power coherent solutions than what is offered by high-performance embedded optics. Since their debut in 2021, pluggable 400G transceivers have been quickly adapted for use in communications networks. Though initially designed for short reach data center connectivity, newer versions with higher optical launch powers are now being deployed in broader applications including metro and regional service provider transport networks. According to market research firm Cignal AI, these transceivers will represent more than 20% of all 100G+ telecom bandwidth deployed in 2022, growing to 30% by 2024. The PM_400FR05-C2A provides multiple client options capable of supporting either 100GbE or OTU4 as well as 400GbE connectivity. The line interface is programmable from 100G to 400G. As a standards-based solution, the PM_400FR05-C2A is fully interoperable with other third-party compliant interfaces making it easy and inexpensive for service providers to interconnect switch/router ports. While most pluggable 400G optics are limited to point-to-point connectivity, the PM_400FR05-C2A is also deployable on meshed optical networks with multi-point connectivity, a key differentiator that significantly expands the scope of potential applications. Another differentiator is the availability of an optional Ekinops proprietary enhanced performance mode that extends the reach of the line output more than 20% compared to standardized modes of performance. Advanced transmission technology developed by Ekinops provides a cleaner transmission signal that can eliminate the need for additional amplifiers and regeneration points to further lower overall network cost. The PM_400FR05-C2A is already attracting customer interest. It is currently in lab trials with general availability beginning in the first quarter of 2023. Tillkännagivande • Jan 12
