TurkNet, Turkey’s leading gigabit internet service provider (ISP), has chosen Ekinops’ FlexRate optical transport solutions to significantly upgrade its core network.

Headquartered in Lannion, France, Ekinops ia a leading supplier of optical transport equipment and router solutions.

To enable it to continue offering exceptional and unrestricted connectivity, TurkNet is deploying Ekinops’ carrier-grade 400G DWDM (dense wavelength-division multiplexing) equipment across its core transport network. TurkNet has chosen the PM 400FRS04-SF, a pluggable FlexRate multireach muxponder to meet stringent technical requirements delivering redundant dual and diverse link connectivity at 400 Gbps. The resulting flexible network architecture gives TurkNet the ability to handle unprecedented, dynamic increases in capacity up to 16 Tbps.

 

The first deployment of the Ekinops 400G equipment solution for TurkNet was managed successfully in April of this year in Istanbul, where traffic loads on the metropolitan network are both acute and increasing continuously. Further PoPs will be installed later in 2020 as TurkNet continues to upgrade its core network in major Turkish cities.

Mustafa Ucar, Chief Network Manager, TurkNet
The Ekinops solution enables us to stay well ahead of rising traffic demands and supports our continued growth in number of users. It also enhances our data center interconnect services which we offer across major Turkish data centers.

Frank Dedobbeleer, VP Group Sales EMEA & APAC, Ekinops
This implementation is a great example of how Ekinops can help ISPs to dramatically increase their fiber network capacity without incurring huge costs and service disruption.
