EKINOPS launches Channel Partner Program in EMEA and APAC

Ekinops is seeking to expand partnerships across Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia to serve carrier service providers, as well as corporate enterprises. By joining forces with Ekinops, channel partners will have access to the entire Ekinops portfolio of open and fully interoperable transport and access solutions. Because of the size, flexibility and vendor agnostic nature of its products, Ekinops removes vendor lock-in and empowers its partners to create their own competitive and profitable services to meet increasing demand for seamless, open networks.

Ekinops already counts several of the world’s largest communication service providers, over-the-top (OTT) managed service providers, cable MSOs, data center providers and mobile service providers as customers. The ECPP marks the next stage in Ekinops’ continued growth strategy.

“The ECPP offers more than a traditional channel program,” comments Frank Dedobbeleer, Group Sales Vice-President EMEA & APAC at Ekinops. “We’re not simply looking for resellers but true value-add partners who want to take the disruptive path and provide an alternative to the incumbents. Ekinops offers the ideal WAN Edge technologies and optical transport solutions to support a channel that is looking to differentiate in the market. Unlike larger vendors, Ekinops’ range of affordable solutions are completely flexible to end-customer needs and adaptable to local requirements.

“For Access partners, our software-based networks functions bring the incomparable benefits of being available in both pCPE and uCPE formats. This will allow our partners to present future-proof solutions to their customers. Partners reselling our optical transport solution will have access to a wide range of services to deliver the planning, building, operation and support of optical networks.

“At their core, our solutions provide quality and ease of integration, without vendor lock-in.”
