Ekinops (Euronext Paris - FR0011466069 – EKI) says that Fujitsu will integrate the Ekinops ETSc OTN compact switch platform into the Fujitsu 1FINITY open optical networking portfolio. Within the Fujitsu 1FINITY ecosystem, the Fujitsu Virtuora multi-layer, multi-vendor control and orchestration software platform will provide automated network control of the Ekinops platform
Ekinops introduced the ETSc earlier this month (see “Ekinops unveils compact Ekinops360 ETSc OTN platform”). The OTN compact platform is designed to support delivery of metro and metro-access services from 1GbE to 200G in an open networking environment.
"Fujitsu's partnership with Ekinops is part of our continuous strategy to create an industry-leading, open networking ecosystem for service providers worldwide," said Paul Havala, head of the optical business unit at Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. "We are proud to offer our customers new solutions that comply with our high performance, quality and reliability standards."
"The combination of our high-performance OTN products integrated with Virtuora is a best-in-class next-generation solution. North American service providers now have a flexible, scalable, future-proof system using state-of-the-art technology for operation and management," added Kevin Antill, group VP heading North America at Ekinops.
Fujitsu will be at OFC 2022 next week in San Diego at Booth 5325.
