TELUS Chooses Ekinops to Deliver Virtualized Access Network Functions

Ekinops, a supplier of optical transport and enterprise connectivity solutions, announces it has been selected by TELUS to deploy network function virtualization (NFV) and next-generation software-defined network (SDN) capabilities to enhance its network.

TELUS chose the OneAccess-branded ONE2501, which delivers a “one-box-fits-all” approach. The ONE2501 is based on OneOS6, the modular software solution enabling a range of built-in software services that can be activated remotely and on-demand, equipping TELUS with a SD-WAN-ready, carrier-grade and multi-service business data router. The compact and power-efficient design of the ONE2501 also reduces TELUS’ environmental footprint in the delivery of its enterprise services.
