Ekinops Industry Leading Technologies

Our market unique Transport on-a-Chip Technology is core to all of our products. Ekinops has reduced all of the electronics on a transport system into a single chip.

This :

• Adds ease of manufacturing (the only thing that distinguishes line cards is firmware) which reduces time to market,
• Reduces our footprint and power consumption,
• Makes our product much more cost effective than others on the market.

In addition, the T-Chip® is fully programmable and field upgradeable helping us help our customers protect their investment.

Our "WaveBonding®" technology has helped us bring the market the first affordable 40G technology and will help us do the same for 100G. Ekinops uses WaveBonding® technology to tightly bond multiple lower rate wavelengths to produce a higher rate transmission in the spectrum generally expected to contain only one wavelength (50GHz and 100GHz). Using this technology, Ekinops has been able to deliver a 40G technology to market that has virtually the same performance as 10G at less than 4 times the cost of 10G.

In addition the core technologies above, Ekinops has numerous technologies that help make optical networks more affordable while remaining scalable. For instance, read more about our cost effective and scalable ROADM technology on this site. Also, ask us about our scalable amplifier technology !

Our Dynamic FEC technology provides industry leading gain/distance to our networks without the need for more expensive amplifiers. DynaFEC® is a forward error correction technology that uses software algorithms to eliminate errors in transmission allowing Ekinops to push networks further.

The Ekinops DynaFEC® technology provides 10dB worth of gain which is the highest in the industry.

DynaMUX® is Ekinops' industry leading multiplexing technology. DynaMUX® allows us to multiplex any mix of protocols over a single wavelength and over any protocol on that wavelength. Few systems can do this but those that do typically use OTN (G.709) for line transmission when multiplexing more than one protocol type over a single wavelength.

Why introduce yet another protocol to your network just to provide transparency and multiplexing flexibility ? It is just something else to manage ! If your network is Ethernet for instance and all you want to do is pick up a few legacy SONET/SDH services, why not transport them over Ethernet without having to use circuit emulation giving you only one protocol in your network to manage but still giving you the resiliency and reliability of SONET/SDH for the SONET/SDH services you are carrying.

Ekinops is proud to offer you one of the only ROADM technologies on the market that is both scalable and affordable offering both 40 and 80 channel plans today.
