Business Wire
Ekinops (Euronext Paris - FR0011466069 – EKI), a leading
supplier of next-generation optical network equipment, has
partnered with Orange Ivory Coast, the number one
telecommunications operator in Ivory Coast, for the rollout of a
100 gigabits per second solution.
Orange Ivory Coast has nearly 12 million customers. To meet the
sustained growth in data traffic demand in the West African nation,
Orange Ivory Coast decided to extend the transmission capacity of
its network along the country’s main strategic routes. To do so,
Orange Ivory Coast is deploying the innovative 100G solution from
Ekinops.
Over the past few months, Orange Ivory Coast and Ekinops carried
out intensive field tests. The results of these tests were
particularly positive and enabled teams at Orange Ivory Coast to
assess the performance and innovative nature of the Ekinops
solution. This solution allows for transmission capacity to be
increased from 10G to 100G very easily and without changing the
network’s existing infrastructure.
The Ekinops 100G solution also guarantees Orange Ivory Coast
perfect interoperability with existing equipment in its network.
The efficient and quick to implement solution will meet the
capacity needs for Orange Ivory Coast and improve service quality
for its customers.
Xavier Billy, Vice-President of Strategic Accounts at Ekinops,
said, “We are proud to be able to meet the challenges of increased
capacity for Orange Ivory Coast with our innovative 100G
application. This strategic collaboration will not only give Orange
Ivory Coast increased flexibility by massively increasing the
bandwidth of its national network, it will also serve its
cross-border requirements with neighboring countries, a major
challenge across West Africa.”
