1&1 Versatel taps Ekinops for streamlined B2B network services

German telecommunications provider 1&1 Versatel has initiated a nationwide rollout of Ekinops connectivity hardware, aiming to simplify its managed services portfolio. By consolidating multiple functions into single customer premises equipment units, the Düsseldorf-based operator intends to reduce on-site device clutter while accelerating the deployment of high-speed enterprise offerings.

The new hardware replaces a fragmented fleet of devices with a unified platform capable of handling fiber, DSL, and mobile connections. These routers support speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s, facilitating secure voice services, Ethernet, and virtual private networks. Beyond technical throughput, the equipment marks a shift toward operational efficiency, as the new models consume approximately 35 percent less energy than the solutions they replace, aligning with 1&1 Versatel’s sustainability targets.

Martin Fischer, CTO of 1&1 Versatel, noted that reducing the variety of models in use simplifies management across the device lifecycle and improves the end-user experience. Frank Dedobbeleer, Chief Revenue Officer for Ekinops in EMEA & APAC, emphasized that utilizing a single vendor for Layer 2 and Layer 3 requirements allows the operator to lower complexity while building a scalable foundation for 5G-enabled enterprise connectivity.
