PARIS -- Neo Telecoms, an international service provider specializing in high-bandwidth telecom services, has chosen Ekinops to provide infrastructure and customer premises equipment for their metro Ethernet service delivery.

Ekinops, a leader in optical transport, will provide the equipment that will enable Neo Telecoms to connect its 15 data centers and to deliver high bandwidth Ethernet services to its end customers. Neo Telecoms will take advantage of Ekinops’ Multi-Protocol, Multi-Rate ADM capabilities to deliver Ethernet services cost-effectively. The Ekinops solution allows delivery of any mix of services over optical transport with a single wavelength and fewer line cards than traditional transport systems. The flexibility of the Ekinops Multi-Protocol, Multi-Rate ADM solution allows Neo to deploy Ethernet services today and other service types like uncompressed video and Fibre Channel in the future on the same wavelength, using the same line cards.

“For four months, we conducted a meticulous selection of the different solutions available on the market,” declared Didier Soucheyre, CEO of Neo Telecoms. “The Ekinops 360 platform was truly open, flexible and innovative at the service level, and enabled a rapid implementation. We required a multiprotocol platform that supports data, Fibre Channel, and video, and the Ekinops 360 does that effectively.”
