The on-going digital network transformation keeps pushing bandwidth needs up between headquarters, data centers, and remote sites. Enterprises use a large number of on-demand services based on cloud technologies, so access to the network becomes a critical element of business productivity and business continuity. At the same time, each branch tends to connect through a different access type: fiber (FTTO/FTTH), xDSL, 4G/5G, private MPLS, or direct internet access, depending on what’s available locally. The result is often a bunch of different boxes in every branch: a WAN router, a 4G backup unit, a firewall. Ekinops approach consolidates all of this onto a single platform per site, with a clear demarcation point and measurable SLA between the operator and the enterprise, so you get one network to operate instead of three devices to maintain.
Connecting dozens or hundreds of branch offices raises three questions most multi-site organizations and service providers face early on:
Find your answer to common questions on Ekinops Efficient multi-sites network connectivity solution.
Yes. The OneAccess router range runs on the carrier-grade OneOS6 operating system, with routing, voice (eSBC), firewall, and mobile backup running as integrated services on hardware sized for the task, with redundant power options on demarcation platforms. Automatic failover to 4G/5G in under 3 seconds protects service continuity even if the primary link goes down.
No. The EAD demarcation devices embed Link-OAM, CFM-OAM, and ITU-T Y.1731 Quality-OAM natively, continuously measuring latency, jitter, and packet loss without impacting live traffic. At turn-up, automated RFC 2544 / ITU-T Y.1564 activation tests generate a certified record of the link’s performance.
The Ekinops branded branch office routers come in a small and compact form factor. They are power-efficient with an excellent performance/consumption ratio, and all fan-less for a longer lifetime — the Ekinops branch office routers deliver 1 Gbps of bandwidth with intense business services for less than 20 Watts of power consumption.
No. The multi-service router range integrates traditional voice interfaces (FXS, FXO, ISDN BRI/PRI) alongside a built-in Session Border Controller, converting transparently between your existing PBX and the operator’s SIP trunk, so you can migrate your network access to IP while keeping your current telephony in place.
Yes, through Zero-Touch Provisioning via OneManage. Devices connect to OneManage automatically on first power-up over TR-069 or NETCONF, download their software image and configuration profile, and become operational without any on-site intervention.
