Orange Deploys Ekinops for Long-Haul 100G

PARIS -- Ekinops, a leading supplier of next-generation optical network equipment for high-speed telecommunications networks, has been selected by Orange to supply 100G solutions for its very high capacity international long haul networks.

In order to meet the needs of telecommunications operators faced with the explosion of often unpredictable data traffic, Ekinops has developed a long haul 100G solution that increases the capacity of existing optical networks. This solution, based on the Ekinops 360 platform, will be deployed by Orange starting in the second half of 2016, on segments of its terrestrial high-speed broadband network, which represents 18,000 km of optical fiber in France and internationally (Europe, USA, and Singapore).

By facilitating the deployment and increasing the capacity of the major international routes, this technology will enable Orange to better serve its subsidiaries and corporate clients worldwide, as well as customers in the wholesale market.
