Ekinops Posts Three-Year Revenue High on Strong Optical Demand
Ekinops reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of €30.6 million, marking its highest quarterly performance in three years. The French optical network provider achieved an 11% sequential increase, driven by robust activity in France and North America and the integration of recent cybersecurity acquisitions.
The company’s growth trajectory reflects three consecutive quarters of improvement, with a 6% rise compared to the same period in 2025. Optical Networks proved to be the primary engine for this momentum, surging 41% sequentially. While the Connectivity and SASE segment saw a 5% dip following a strong start to the year, the group’s software and services division maintained a 6% growth rate, with Annual Recurring Revenue reaching €15.9 million by the end of June.
Strategic expansion remains a focal point, highlighted by a new 10-year framework agreement with Belgian operator Proximus. Under the NEURON project, Ekinops will deploy high-speed 800 Gbit/s optical infrastructure across 600 sites, with initial rollouts slated for the second half of 2026. CEO Lionel Chmilewsky confirmed the company remains on track to meet its full-year growth targets, bolstered by expected deployments of new DCI and SASE solutions toward the end of the year.
