Ekinops and PacketFront Partner to Empower Service Provider Networks with a Competitive European Alternative
EKINOPS (Euronext Paris – FR0011466069 – EKI), a leading European provider of optical networking, connectivity, and SASE cybersecurity solutions for telecommunications operators and enterprises, and PacketFront Software solutions AB today announced a partnership designed to help service providers modernize and automate their networks through a commercially competitive, European-based alternative to traditional incumbent networking stacks.
As service providers, particularly in Europe, are increasingly reshaping vendor strategies in response to delivery constraints, cost pressure and heightened awareness of geopolitical vendor risk, Ekinops and PacketFront are aligning strengths to address the demand for greater dual-vendor resilience, lower operational risk, faster deployment and improved automation maturity.
Objective of the partnership is for Ekinops to provide the physical network edge, while PacketFront BECS adds orchestration, automation and service management. Ekinops platforms are certified by Packetfront Software to work seamlessly with BECS.
“The partnership is positioned around a low-disruption adoption model with clear Return on Investment. This combination can help service providers reduce engineering effort, improve provisioning times, and manage mixed estates more efficiently.” Says Frank Dedobbeleer, Chief Revenue Officer EMEA & APAC at Ekinops.
“We are delighted to enter into this partnership. By combining Ekinops extensive product portfolio and deep expertise with PacketFront’s cutting-edge BECS OSS platform, we will bring a powerful European offering to the market. Together, we look forward to helping operators and enterprises build more efficient, flexible and future-ready networks.” says Timo Kuusela, VP Sales at PacketFront.
The partnership will initially focus on the UK and Northern Europe and was highlighted at the PacketFront Connected Conference in Stockholm, Sweden, this June. It was also showcased at the Connected Britain trade show in London, UK, on 9–10 September.
