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.

IP MPLS Network. Based on Multi-Services Platform (MSP), a private, international IP MPLS network, as well as on numerous peering/interconnect agreements with other global carriers, OTEGLOBE offers a variety of transport and connectivity services available internationally at 14 business centers.

OTEGLOBE is a member and landing party of the Asia Africa Europe-1 (AAE-1) submarine cable.
