About Optima Networks
Optima Networks was founded end of 1999 by Benoit Bergers, in order to build distribution of high-end technology products of what now is known as the company MRV, in Belgium.
These products, and the technological developments they were the result of, required such a specialized knowledge and experience, that none of the distributors at that moment were able to deliver. Quite rapidly the range of products of MRV was extended with AXIS CD-towers and Allied Telesis switches and media convertors, to grow ultimately to the product portfolio Optima offers today.
Optima Networks also invested in personnel, and is proud to service the market with collaborators with a proven service-record in the Value Added Distribution
