Balkan expansion: RETN incorporates new long-haul DWDM route Budapest – Belgrade - Sofia

International network service provider RETN continues its expansion in the Balkan region, strengthening its backbone network with a new long-haul DWDM route that connects Budapest, Belgrade, and Sofia. The new fibre route, which spans a total distance of 932km and uses the latest generation of Infinera FlexILS line system, extends RETN’s layer 1 capacity services to customers in the region and provides them with access to the wider RETN DWDM network as well as greatly increased capacity for the RETN IP/MPLS network. 


In addition to building the new route, RETN has also upgraded its IP/MPLS equipment at Belgrade and Sofia with Juniper’s MX10008k, reflecting RETN’s view on the importance and bandwidth requirements in these cities. The upgrade results in quicker delivery times for IP/MPLS services and bandwidths ranging from 1G to N*100G.


Olena Lutsenko, Director at RETN Black Sea Region: “We are proud to announce that Belgrade and Sofia-based customers can now enjoy full suite of RETN services. The new route Budapest – Belgrade – Sofia allows RETN to provide existing and new customers with any capacity they might need. The new route provides long-distance circuits, connecting Sofia to any OnNet location with delivery within days.” 


The completion of the new DWDM route marks another step in RETN’s strategic expansion across the Balkan, with even more investments to come in 2023.
