Ekinops: C700HC

Combining the features of traditional WDM transport systems with data center interconnection (DCI)-specific platforms, Ekinops’ C700HC is a new class of hybrid optical transport equipment that can operate in both service provider central offices and data centers. The C700HC provides a common platform across both environments, with the same hardware, software, operating system, and management tools, delivering a unified transport solution that eliminates the boundaries between disparate applications. With its “evergreen” design, it can easily transition across technology eras—10G, 100G, 800G—and even support multiple eras simultaneously, accommodating higher line rates and new technologies. With its modular architecture, an Ekinops360 chassis can be configured and reconfigured to match the service profile as needed, and as opportunities arise. 

Judge’s comment: "A very versatile platform with up to 800 Gbps wavelengths.”
