- Ekinops S.A. is a telecommunications equipment company specializing in network connectivity solutions for telecom operators and enterprises worldwide. The company offers three core product and service categories: EKINOPS360, OneAccess, and Compose. EKINOPS360 provides optical transport solutions for metro, regional, and long-distance networks, including Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technologies for high-capacity point-to-point, ring, and optical mesh architectures, as well as Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities for bandwidth optimization and multi-service aggregation. OneAccess supplies a broad range of physical and virtualized Layer 2 and Layer 3 access network functions with diverse deployment options. Compose is a software platform that enables service automation and orchestration for virtualized network functions.
Ekinops operates primarily in the telecommunications industry focusing on network infrastructure, software-driven connectivity, and managed services targeted at telecom service providers and enterprise markets. The company is headquartered in Lannion, Brittany, France, and has a global operational footprint serving international clients.
In recent developments, Ekinops advanced its strategic Bridge plan by acquiring Olfeo, a cybersecurity software provider, to enhance its security offering and position itself strongly in the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) market with a European sovereign solution. This acquisition, finalized in mid-2025, aligns with Ekinops' goal to accelerate growth in high-demand segments such as cybersecurity and data center interconnection starting in 2026. The deal was fully financed through Ekinops' own funds and a syndicated credit line. Ekinops aims to grow software and services revenue significantly, targeting over 30% of annual revenue from these areas by 2028, including more than 50% as Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). The company reported continued investments in product development and strategic expansions to meet evolving market needs and strengthen its competitive position globally.
Founded in 2005, Ekinops emphasizes innovation through programmable, scalable solutions that facilitate fast, flexible, and cost-efficient deployment of network services. Its evolving portfolio and recent acquisition highlight its focus on integrating advanced cybersecurity measures and expanding software capabilities alongside its established optical and access network products.
