PARIS, June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ekinops (Euronext
Paris: EKI) (FR0011466069), a leading supplier of optical
transport equipment and router solutions, today announces that
TurkNet, Turkey's leading gigabit
internet service provider (ISP), has chosen Ekinops' FlexRate
optical transport solutions to significantly upgrade its core
network, which provides businesses and individuals with uncapped
high-speed broadband services across the country's key cities.
"Providing a reliable, high-speed internet service with great
customer satisfaction has always been our top priority," comments
Mustafa Uçar, Chief Network Manager at TurkNet. "The Ekinops
solution enables us to stay well ahead of rising traffic demands
and supports our continued growth in number of users. It also
enhances our datacenter interconnect services which we offer across
major Turkish data centers. Ekinops' sales and technical teams have
worked tirelessly, managing to install the required equipment at
the initially targeted PoPs (Points of Presence) and data centers
in the midst of the Covid19 crisis."
Over the past four years, thanks to its single cost package for
high-speed, high-quality broadband services, TurkNet has achieved
significant growth in both customer volumes and bandwidth
consumption. To enable it to continue offering exceptional and
unrestricted connectivity, Turkey's next-generation ISP is deploying
Ekinops' carrier-grade 400G DWDM (dense wavelength-division
multiplexing) equipment across its core transport network. TurkNet
has chosen the PM 400FRS04-SF, a pluggable FlexRate multireach
muxponder to meet stringent technical requirements delivering
redundant dual and diverse link connectivity at 400 Gbps. The
resulting flexible network architecture gives TurkNet the ability
to handle unprecedented, dynamic increases in capacity up to 16
Tbps.
"Turkey's communications
infrastructure has evolved rapidly in recent years and TurkNet has
set the standard in high-speed broadband," adds Frank Dedobbeleer, VP Group Sales EMEA &
APAC, at Ekinops. "This implementation is a great example of how
Ekinops can help ISPs to dramatically increase their fiber network
capacity without incurring huge costs and service disruption. We're
delighted with the impact we have made on TurkNet's business and
will continue to support them as their business grows."
The first deployment of the Ekinops 400G equipment solution for
TurkNet was managed successfully in April of this year in
Istanbul, where traffic loads on
the metropolitan network are both acute and increasing
continuously. Further points of presence will be installed later in
2020 as TurkNet continues to upgrade its core network in major
Turkish cities.
