Business focus and product domains
Ekinops’ activities center on telecommunications solutions for telecom operators and enterprises. The company repeatedly describes itself as a supplier of:
- Optical transport solutions for high-speed, high-capacity networks. Its EKINOPS360 optical portfolio is used for metro, regional, and long-distance networks, and supports WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and OTN (optical transport network) architectures.
- Access and branch routing solutions for enterprise connectivity, based on its OneAccess product line and OneOS6 middleware. These include Layer 2 and Layer 3 access network functions and Ethernet access devices.
- Software and virtualization-enabled managed services, including SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networking), SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), SSE (Secure Service Edge) and edge computing platforms.
The company highlights three complementary product and service sets in its portfolio:
- EKINOPS360 – optical transport solutions for high-capacity point-to-point, ring and mesh networks, with coherent 200G, 400G and 800G capabilities referenced in customer deployments and product launches.
- OneAccess – access network solutions with physical and virtualized deployment options, including devices such as the OneOS6-based 1651 10G Ethernet Access Device for mobile backhaul and enterprise connectivity.
- Compose – software management tools and services that support software-defined networking, including SD-WAN Xpress and SixSq edge-to-cloud solutions.
Customers and use cases
Press releases show Ekinops’ technology being adopted by telecom operators and service providers for various use cases:
- Optical transport upgrades: MuniNet, a publicly owned fiber network operator in Western Kentucky, selected Ekinops’ 400G coherent optical transport technology from the EKINOPS360 portfolio to increase capacity on existing fiber, support 5G backhaul, high-speed broadband and cloud services, and prepare for 800G.
- Mobile backhaul and Ethernet access: Stratus Networks in Illinois uses the Ekinops360 optical transport system and the OneOS6-based 1651 10G Ethernet Access Device to deliver wholesale Ethernet services and mobile backhaul connectivity, with integrated wire-speed service activation testing.
- Managed SD-WAN for enterprises: Orange Business launched its SD-WAN Essentials offer based on Ekinops SD-WAN Xpress technology, a co-managed solution aimed at providing application-level routing, performance, and security while limiting devices and energy consumption.
- Unified communications integration: Ekinops’ enterprise SBC (Session Border Controller) solution within OneOS6 has been certified for Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, enabling businesses to connect traditional telecom services with Microsoft Teams for calling while keeping their telecom provider of choice.
- Edge computing and marketplaces: SixSq, an Ekinops entity, operates Nuvla.io, a B2B digital platform and marketplace for containerized edge applications and device management, including an App Vendor Programme to help vendors monetize edge applications.
Revenue mix and strategic evolution
Recent financial communications emphasize the growing role of Software & Services within Ekinops’ business. The company reports that this segment accounted for a rising share of revenue over recent years and includes SD-WAN and other software-based offerings. In 2025, Software & Services revenue is reported as growing significantly and representing a quarter of total revenue, with a notable recurring component measured through Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
Ekinops also reports two main product lines in its financial breakdown:
- Access solutions – equipment and solutions sold largely to telecom operators, with performance influenced by major customers in France and other regions.
- Optical Transport – coherent optical transport equipment used in North America, Europe and other regions, with demand linked to operators’ investment cycles and network consolidation.
The company describes its Bridge strategic plan as focusing on fast-growing market segments for both Access and Optical Transport. Bridge aims to position Ekinops as a supplier of integrated telecommunications solutions combining equipment, software and services, and to increase the share of revenue from Software & Services and recurring contracts over the medium term.
Geographic footprint and markets
Ekinops’ press releases present it as a global organization with business in France, the rest of Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and other regions. Revenue is reported across these regions, with France as a key domestic market and North America and Europe (excluding France) as major international markets. The company notes that it serves service providers and operators and that international sales represent a significant portion of its activity.
Sustainability and corporate responsibility
Ekinops has communicated several sustainability and ESG-related initiatives:
- Signing the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), committing to the ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
- Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, including a double materiality assessment and identification of key environmental and social topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption of products, and quality of life at work.
