PARIS, June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- EKINOPS
(Euronext Paris: EKI) (FR0011466069), a leading provider of open
and fully interoperable Layer 1, 2 and 3 solutions to network
operators, has enabled Ceská Telekomunikacní Infrastruktura (CETIN)
owner of the largest telecommunications network in the Czech
republic, to extend the market for high speed business
connectivity, by introducing access equipment that both accelerates
and extends the reach of Ethernet services delivered over existing
copper plant.
In an industry first, CETIN can now offer business grade
standardized and high-speed Ethernet over VDSL2 as a wholesale
service to any service provider. A unique combination of
features explains CETIN's choice for Ekinops access equipment.
One of the key features is the device's ability to utilize the
combination of two copper pairs to maintain greater bandwidth on
longer loops than non-bonded VDSL2. This broadens the
addressable market for Ethernet over VDSL2 (since the service can
now support businesses that are further away from the DSLAM).
By offering Ethernet to service providers, there is no longer
the need for time consuming and complex testing and certification
procedures of DSL access equipment.
CETIN selected the OneAccess OneOS6 based ONE521 access device
because it supports advanced Layer 2 Carrier Ethernet features. The
device is also software upgradable to support an extensive Layer 3
feature set as well as a session border controller.
The chosen platform referenced as the "ONE521 AV2d Gb5T/b" with
bonded VDSL is based on the latest Broadcom's BCM63138 chipset
offering support for ADSL2+, VDSL2 up to Profile 35b and bonded VDSL2 annex b, also known as VDSL
over ISDN.
"This is a win for everyone," comments Frank Dedobbeleer, VP Group Sales EMEA &
APAC, Ekinops. "Our technology enables CETIN to wholesale an
Ethernet over VDSL2 service that goes faster and further than ever
before. This will enable local carriers to deliver fiber-like
connectivity to business customers at a fraction of the
conventional cost. This is another great example of how Ekinops'
innovation in network access devices doesn't just solve problems
for operators, it creates real business opportunities."
"We have always been impressed with Ekinops' ability to deliver
smart technical solutions to real-world problems," comments
Vladimír Fabini, Head of Development of Access Network
Technologies, Ceská Telekomunikacní Infrastruktura. "The launch of
our wholesale Ethernet over VDSL2 package will enable our service
provider customers to broaden the market for high-speed SME
business connectivity and deliver real business benefits to
companies right across our country."
The ONE521 is part of a new iteration of the OneAccess branded
access platforms to run on OneOS6, the firm's flexible and
virtualization-ready operating system. The combination of next
generation fiber and VDSL technologies and OneOS6 allows operators
to retain maximum flexibility and choice over how they deliver
these high-speed services and network functions to their
customers.
