Ekinops Opens New North American Headquarters
Ekinops,
a leading supplier of next-generation optical network equipment, will
move into its new North American corporate headquarters in Maryland in
June.
The new facility will be home to Ekinops (News - Alert) Corp., the wholly-owned North
American subsidiary of France-based Ekinops SA. It will serve not only
as a company headquarters, but also as a complete customer support
office, housing administrative and support employees. Ekinops support
personnel will conduct customer training at the site, with a full
product integration lab for staging prior to shipping, to streamline
training and to demonstrate product capabilities for customers.
In addition, this facility will serve as a logistical center for current
and new customers across the U.S. and Canada. While Ekinops sells its
advanced optical networking products globally, its sales are increasing
faster in North America than in other regions. Its customers here
include service providers, from very large and national to regional
carriers, as well as data center operators.
In the lab, Ekinops will be able to demonstrate all of its products and
solutions, such as its flagship product, the 360 Dynamic Multi-Reach
Transport System, along with 100G and 200G coherent technology, its
recently introduced wireless fronthaul module and its Celestis Pilot
Network Management System.
"The opening of this new office is in response to our rapid growth in
North America and confirms the long-term commitment that Ekinops is
making in the region," said Kevin Antill, Vice President for North
America.
"What is most important about this new facility is that it allows us to
focus on support for our customers. With our team there, along with the
fully functioning lab, customer training center, and warehouse depot, we
can fill all our customers' needs from one primary location."
Antill added that the ability to provide customers the training they
need on Ekinops hardware and software, and to validate network models on
live equipment, will accelerate their move from the design phase to
implementation so they can deploy new services to their customers more
quickly.
