Fast and reliable access to the Internet and to research networks

Do you want to give your organisation access to the Internet and to the Belgian and international research networks? Then a Belnet network connection is the solution for you. The Belnet network is an extremely powerful hybrid network with an IP layer and an optical layer. The optical layer links the network's 21 Points of Presence (PoP).

The connectivity that Belnet offers, to the Internet as well as to the research networks, has high bandwidth. Belnet only makes this connectivity available to specific target groups. The type of connection offered depends on the target group to which your organisation belongs. You will find an overview on our rate cards.

You will need an access circuit for you connection to the Belnet network. The access circuit arrives at an access port (router) of a Point of Presence. The access circuit is always a 'transparent Ethernet' type. The standard connection is based on IPv4 technology. On request we can activate this connection with IPv4 as well as with IPv6. Of course you can also choose for an extra connection based on IPv6 only.
