The Network
History Construction started Loop 1 live Loop 2 live 3200 km National networks in Belgium and France National networks in UK and Germany km Extensions to Switserland and Italy km
Facts & Figures Pan European Backbone Network (Ulysses) more than km of fibre in 13 countries connecting 16 major metropolitan networks with redundant connections to US (Gemini)
Facts & Figures (2) Terrestrial fibres up to 196 fibres per cable Armoured undersea cables Duct sharing / Fibre lease / Capacity lease
The Technology Fibre-only network SDH tech. for fast protection DWDM tech. for high capacity 32 x 10 Gbps on a single fibre
SDH STM-1 STM-4 STM-16 STM-1 STM-4 STM Gbps ring 4-fibre protection ADM
