EKINOPS announced that the NFV software suite of its subsidiary, OneAccess, has enabled Kapsch CarrierCom (KCC) to create an open, multi-vendor virtualization solution for Telco operators and large enterprises.
Kapsch CarrierCom, a Kapsch Group company, is a leading global producer, supplier and systems integrator of end-to-end telecommunications solutions for public and railway operators, urban transport organizations and companies seeking real-time asset management solutions.
By utilizing OneAccess’ virtualization environment, OneAccess has helped Kapsch to architect a branch office virtualized networking solution powered by its Open Virtualization Platform(OVP), which lays the foundation for hosting, chaining and managing OneAccess’ Virtual Network Functions(VNFs), together with those of third parties.
KCC is adopting a customized approach to universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) in order to meet all of its customers’ varying requirements, ensuring full end-to-end integration and delivery. KCC integrated OneAccess OneManageand Design Studiosolution with a third-party orchestration solution and the OneAccess OVP middleware in its white-box.
This enables Kapsch to offer Telco operators and large enterprises a scalable, future-proof and fully open uCPE solution that can support a variety of different customer-defined deployment models, from a ‘thin uCPE’ to one hosted in a datacenter.
Kapsch evaluated four competing solutions before selecting OneAccess as its partner. After a successful Proof of Concept with a major service provider in 2017, the partnership is now engaged in its first live project.

OneAccess Design Studio enabled us to visually architect the full solution quickly and easily, and create the necessary Network Service Description. Its OVP platform sits on our own white-box and we’re using it to power OneAccess’ vRouter VNF.
Didier Bredy, CEO, OneAccess Networks
Kapsch’s uCPE networking system delivers virtualized branch office networking functions that help Telco operators, communication service providers and enterprises reduce networking costs, improve performance, and deliver new, revenue-generating services, optimized to each customer.
