Imtech Telecom, a technical services provider that specialises in the design, build and maintenance of next generation networks, has facilitated the IP level for GÉANT2, the pan-European research and education network. As a result, IP connectivity speeds of 10Gbits/s are now guaranteed across parts of the GÉANT2 backbone network, enabling over 30mn researchers and students to collaborate on a global scale and benefit from user-focused services such as mobility and roaming. Commissioned by DANTE, the research networking organisation that manages the GÉANT2 project, Imtech has installed IP equipment in 8 Points of Presence (PoPs) around Europe. This has enabled DANTE to interconnect 15 of Europe's National Research and Education Networks across the GÉANT2 core optical transmission network. Imtech's team of skilled engineers, which operates across Europe, implemented Juniper high-end multi-service core routers, Optical Distribution Frames and Out of Band facilities in all 8 PoP sites.
