Network
OTEGLOBE operates 2 wide area networks that form the south-eastern European Internet backbone: GWEN (Greek Western European Network) and TBN (Trans Balkan Network) as well as an IP MPLS network.
GWEN is a private multi-gigabit network based on DWDM/SDH connecting Greece to major European backbone services via Italy. It is composed of 4 rings (Greek inner ring, undersea ring, Italian ring and West-European ring).
TBN forms a land-based backbone network linking Greece to the west-European backbones via Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic to the main backbone centres in Germany and the United Kingdom. The TBN is used standalone or as a backup service to GWEN.
