The coronavirus crisis is having a major impact on the way universities and colleges are working.

The university approached Belnet to implement this service quickly.

This month, BNIX (Belgian National Internet eXchange) celebrates its 25th anniversary. BNIX was set up in 1995 by Belnet and started at the time - as the Internet was slowly emerging - with six participants and one Point of Presence. 25 years later, 58 participants are connected to the platform and BNIX has three Points of Presence (Interxion in Zaventem, LCL in Diegem and CenturyLink in Evere).

To this end, it entered into a partnership with Fortinet, one of the market leaders in the field of security.
