At Arcadiz, we believe that strong networks are the backbone of a reliable digital society. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Smals has selected us as a partner for the delivery of optical networks to build connectivity between and within their data centers, under the framework agreement “BB 001.019 2023”.

This project includes the design, delivery, installation, and 24/7 maintenance of active and passive DCI equipment to interconnect LAN and SAN networks, as well as cost-effective white-label transceivers—essential building blocks for a future-proof fiber infrastructure. As a specialized player in optical network solutions, we use our expertise to support Smals in their mission: providing efficient, secure, and high-performance connectivity for social and government services in Belgium.

This award is a great recognition of our many years of experience and our ongoing commitment to combining technological innovation with reliability and flexibility. We look forward to working with Smals and supporting them in their strategic digital ambitions.

Our CTO, Marc Vandeputte, adds:  “Today, we provide many public institutions with encrypted, low-latency and high-availability data center connectivity solutions through various agreements. This overarching framework agreement, which allows broader use by public institutions through the ‘central purchasing’ clause, enables us to further strengthen our position.”
