By: Ekinops Ekinops announced today that its Ekinops 360 DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) For the live demonstration, Ekinops and b<>com worked together to design and develop an interface layer between the SDN controller and the Ekinops 360 platform's network management protocols. The interoperability assessment was done on a mesh network consisting of several Ekinops 360 Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) nodes. To perform this live demonstration, 100 gigabit per second wavelength routes were created via the ONOS controller and automatically routed within the mesh network. "The interoperability experiment was extremely successful," "These solutions, whether 100G or higher, are readily managed through our management software, enabling NFV (network functions virtualization) "The evolution of 5G networks requires more flexibility and autonomy in their operation. It is based on SDN and NFV concepts. The interface layer developed with Ekinops fully meets those promises," said Michel Corriou, Director of Domain Networks & Security at b<>com. About b<>com With its innovations, the Institute of Research and Technology (IRT) b<>com is taking part in the European digital transformation. Its 200 researchers develop tools, products, and services that make everyday life easier. They focus on two fields of research: Hypermedia (ultra-high definition images, 3D sound, smart content, virtual and augmented reality) and more agile ultra-high speed networks (cloud, cybersecurity, ultra-high speed mobile, network resilience, Internet of Things). Of the many fields of application for these technologies, e-health has allowed b<>com to participate in the digital revolution going on in medicine. Founded through a public/private partnership, the IRT gathers the best experts from industry and academia at its campus in Rennes, and at its sites in Lannion and Brest. Since its creation in 2012, the IRT has grown 30% a year. www.b-com.com About Ekinops Ekinops is a leading supplier of next generation optical transport equipment for telecommunications service providers.
