BelWü stands for Baden-Württembergs extended LAN or Landeshochschulnetz Baden-Württemberg (English: Academic Network of the Federal State of Baden-Wuerttemberg) and is the network of the academic institutions in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. As part of BelWü the 9 universities, over 25 universities of applied science and the 8 locations of the dual studies universities and other scientific institutions.[1] are connected to each other through an optical network (DWDM)[2] to each other. Smaller organisations like schools, libraries and other public organisations are either connected via DSL/cable or directly using optical fiber (Ethernet).
Connections to Internet exchange points like DE-CIX (in Frankfurt) and other regional exchanges are realized through either 100 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. In addition to that there are other commercial upstream providers like Telia Company[3]. The autonomous system number of BelWue is 553[4]
BelWü has been founded because at the time the network of the DFN-association on a federal level had not been established in the southwest federal state of Baden-Württemberg.[5]
