PARIS, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ekinops (Euronext Paris – FR0011466069 – EKI), a leading enterprise secured connectivity specialist, and O2 Telefónica announce the launch of a co-developed 5G mobile fixed line extension solution to provide high speed 5G connectivity to enterprise customers even in difficult coverage locations.
O2 Telefónica, a leading provider of broadband, landline and mobile telecommunications in Germany will be able to extend its “high-performance connection for every workplace” solution to customers who require connectivity deep inside buildings, allowing to address complex or near impossible installations. It is aimed at businesses that need to connect new locations to the internet without major expansion projects and want to use fixed-network connectivity where failure is not an option. The promise is to make sure outdoor coverage matches indoor coverage and deployment is achieved in record time.
The new MRU-5G (MRU- Managed Remote Unit), a centrally manageable outdoor 5G unit, has been co-developed by Ekinops and O2 Telefónica. Coupled with the Ekinops enterprise routers, powered by the OneOS6 software, it can deliver gigabit services with 5G backup.
Main benefits of this new solution:
- Can be deployed up to 100m away from the data room, with zero dB (decibel) loss and full throughput
- Fastest deployment of fixed wireless access thanks to flexible installation options, reducing the need for complex civil works.
- Efficient methodology and tools to install the 5G antenna at the best possible location
using a dedicated installer application. - Fastest service activation thanks to template-based configuration and powerful CLI, enabling highly industrialized processes,
- Nearly 10 times existing performance compared to conventional outdoor antennas
- Enterprise-class transparent networking, supports full VLAN isolation, highly secured, ready for large offices with many concurrent users
- Fully supervised and managed remotely
- Fully integrated in the product portfolio of the business customer brand of O2 Telefónica – O2 Business’ management and provisioning systems, with perfect visibility for customer service assurance.
Nils Joachim, Director B2B Products & Technology of O2 Telefónica says: “The jointly developed 5G solution marks a major step forward in our mission to deliver seamless, high‑performance connectivity to every enterprise site. It allows us to overcome structural barriers, accelerate service delivery, and ensure reliable broadband where fixed access alone cannot deliver. This is a game changer for businesses that depend on always‑on connectivity.”

The solution is extremely simple to install which means it reduces drastically on-site interventions and overall deployment time.” comments Sylvain Quartier, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at Ekinops.
