Ekinops accelerates virtualization of network services in Belgium by integrating Proximus Wholesale solutions

PARIS, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ekinops (Euronext Paris – FR0011466069 – EKI), a leading provider of optical networks, connectivity and SASE cybersecurity solutions for telecommunications operators and enterprises, announces the launch in Belgium of a new generation of network solutions, Network-as-a-Service (NaaS). This initiative notably relies on the high‑bandwidth, proven infrastructure of Proximus Wholesale (wholesale telecom services market), enabling local operators to deliver digital services that are more agile, faster to deploy and fully software‑driven.

At the heart of this collaboration is ONE (Open Network Ecosystem), the new strategic product portfolio from Proximus Wholesale. ONE combines Proximus’ reliable, high‑performance national connectivity with Ekinops’ advanced software technologies, including universal customer premises equipment (uCPE), the virtualization solution layer OneOS6‑LIM, and the OneManage management and monitoring system dedicated to automated service orchestration and lifecycle management.

This ecosystem allows partners to activate services remotely through a secure marketplace of virtual network functions (VNFs), covering routing, security, SD‑WAN and voice solutions. By replacing dedicated hardware appliances with virtualized solutions hosted on a single uCPE, wholesale partners gain agility, reduce delivery lead times and simplify the entire service lifecycle.
