Belnet Information

By developing secure, reliable and innovative network infrastructures and associated services with and for our communities, Belnet, as a national research network, helps build tomorrow's education, research and government. Belnet's mission is to operate a high-performance network for universities, colleges, research centres and government departments. The Belnet network is also the gateway to other research networks worldwide and is therefore an engine for (inter)national cooperation in education and research. In addition, our network is a crucial building block for the federal government's digital services. As their IT partner, we contribute to an efficient use of available resources by maximising synergies and economies of scale. Belnet is constantly working on a service offering tailored to the specific needs of its communities. We develop and manage solutions and platforms that support them in the areas of trust & security, cloud, mobility and open science. Collaboration, co-creation and innovation are the driving forces behind everything we do. Because of its neutral position and expertise, Belnet also manages the Belgian internet node BNIX, which makes local internet traffic faster and more efficient.
