Traditional optical transport networks often mean separate systems for line transport, amplification, and wavelength routing, each with its own footprint, power draw, and upgrade cycle. Ekinops Telco Standard Platform consolidates transponders, muxponders, amplifiers, and ROADMs into a single chassis, avoiding the forklift hardware replacements that come with most transport platform generations.
FlexRate™ is Ekinops’ programmable coherent optics technology. Instead of a fixed speed per card, it dynamically adjusts the modulation format and error correction to deliver the best possible speed, from 100G to 800G per wavelength, for the specific distance and fiber conditions of your link.
Yes. The same chassis and card architecture cover metro, regional, long-haul, and submarine applications, so a network built for metro today can extend to longer routes later using the same platform family rather than a different one.
Yes. An offline simulation tool built into the management suite pulls real configuration and performance data from your live network to model the impact of a change, such as adding new wavelengths, and calculate the right parameters before anything is deployed, without disrupting live traffic.
Often, yes, through Alien Wavelength support. Ekinops coherent channels can be injected directly onto many existing third-party optical line systems, adding capacity without replacing your existing filtering or routing infrastructure.
Yes. It shares the same Celestis NMS management suite and card architecture as Ekinops other optical platforms, including the compact modular platform built for data center, so you can manage a mixed deployment from one console.
Yes. Celestis NMS connects to the optical nodes via SNMP and exposes an open Northbound Interface (NBI) supporting REST/JSON and SNMPv2c/SNMPv3 APIs, so you can integrate optical alarms and provisioning workflows into your own orchestrators or existing operations and billing platforms, rather than being limited to Celestis NMS as a standalone tool.
