1&1 Versatel запустила в Германии сеть нового поколения на оборудовании Ekinops

EKINOPS, a leading provider of optical networking, connectivity and SASE cybersecurity solutions for telecommunications operators and enterprises, announced that 1&1 Versatel GmbH, the Düsseldorf-based German B2B telecommunications provider with nationwide fiber reach, has begun rolling out the Ekinops connectivity portfolio. At the heart of the collaboration are modern customer premises equipment (CPE) devices, such as routers, which bundle multiple services into a central platform. For customers, this means fewer devices on site, lower operational effort and significantly easier integration of new services. The new generation of devices offers maximum flexibility in connectivity: in addition to fiber, DSL or mobile connectivity can also be implemented. As a European manufacturer, Ekinops meets the highest requirements for data protection and data sovereignty. Modern, high-performance encryption standards ensure that sensitive corporate data is reliably protected. The new CPE models also stand out for their significantly improved energy efficiency. Compared with the solutions used to date at Versatel, they require around 35 percent less energy on average. This not only helps reduce operating costs, but also supports the sustainability goals of 1&1 Versatel and its customers. They also enable connections of up to 10 Gbit/s as well as the flexible use of high-speed services such as secure voice services, internet, Ethernet connections and virtual private networks. Martin Fischer, CTO of 1&1 Versatel Thanks to Ekinops’ CPE solutions tailored to our requirements, we are systematically developing our service offering while at the same time achieving sustainable cost savings. Reducing the number of CPE models we use gives us additional flexibility, simplifies management across the entire device lifecycle and improves the customer experience. Frank Dedobbeleer, Chief Revenue Officer, EMEA & APAC, Ekinops 1&1 Versatel’s ambition to simplify operations while expanding a modern managed services offering is exactly the kind of transformation Ekinops solutions are designed to address. By relying on one vendor for Layer 2 and Layer 3 requirements, with multiple functions delivered through a single device and unified software, 1&1 Versatel can accelerate service rollout, reduce complexity and create a scalable foundation for fiber-, DSL- and 5G-enabled enterprise connectivity.
