To cope with increasing network traffic and customer bandwidth demands, Syntigo (B-Telecom) has built a 10Gb optical network to interconnect seven key locations across Brussels.


Syntigo is a subsidiary of The Belgium Railway Group, which not only operates the densest railway network in Europe but also owns a fibre optic network that covers more than 3,800km.

Syntigo is responsible for commercialising the overcapacity of this core network, but increasing usage of bandwidth-hungry applications and an expanding customer base were placing significant demands on the existing infrastructure.

Working with Imtech Telecom, Syntigo built a future proof, 10Gb network, connecting seven strategic data centres throughout the Brussels region.

As Syntigo’s key partner, Imtech Telecom implemented Density Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology from SEE Telecom, a Waterloo - Belgium based optical products manufacturer. The system integrator also managed the design, calibration, testing services and field maintenance to ensure the successful roll-out of the network.
