BFOR Project

Published: 17.03.2008

In March 2008 Neterra completed the construction and put into exploitation the Bulgarian section of the project Balkan Fiber Optic Ring (BFOR). The project, that started in December 2004, was the first "green" investment in the field of telecommunications in Bulgaria, specially designed to serve the international transit market between Europe and Asia.

The purpose of the project is to build a new telecommunication infrastructure on the Balkans peninsula, that is managed from a single place and offers reliable services to international operators, using transit traffic through the Balkans.

In its Bulgarian section the cable system crosses directly between the cities of Russe and Svilengrad, using the shortest possible route. It connects three borders of Bulgaria - Romania to the north and Turkey and Greece to the south. 

Neterra offers one-stop-shopping of telecommunication services between Europe and Asia, that include SDH services (n x 64Kbps up to STM-16) and Carrier class Ethernet (up to n x 10Gbps).
