Ekinops begins a connectivity rollout with Germany's 1&1 Versatel

Ekinops announced on 7 September 2026 that 1&1 Versatel has begun rolling out its connectivity portfolio.

Deployment scope

The German business-telecom provider will use customer-premises equipment combining multiple functions in a common platform.

The equipment supports fibre, DSL and mobile connectivity, including connections of up to 10Gbit/s, alongside internet, Ethernet, secure voice and virtual-private-network services.

The release says the new models use around 35% less energy on average than Versatel's previous solutions. That comparison is specific to the stated replacement base, rather than a universal efficiency claim.

Commercial significance

This is a rollout with a named operator, providing more concrete adoption evidence than a product demonstration alone.

The customer aims to simplify its equipment portfolio, lifecycle management and introduction of new services. For Ekinops, the opportunity is equipment and associated software adoption across the customer's network.

No order value, committed unit count, contract duration or earnings upgrade was disclosed. The next evidence is rollout scale, follow-on orders and the revenue and margin contribution recognised by Ekinops.
