Fire Brigade Ensures Secure and Reliable Intra-Team Emergency  
Communications by Leveraging Multilink and IP Routing  
The Service Départemental d'Incendie et de Secours Belfort, or SDIS90 Belfort, is one of 100  
fire brigades throughout France, and is responsible for protecting the Belfort area's citizens and  
businesses from every type of fire danger. Belfort is a highly industrialized area, widely known  
as a magnet for major metal-works and electronics-related manufacturing, drawing companies  
such as Peugeot-Citroën and General Electric. To ensure secure and reliable communication, in  
the face of life-threatening situations, SDIS90 Belfort’s information technology department was  
looking for a highly scalable, flexible networking solution to interconnect their central command  
center and three remote locations around the territory.

At a Glance  
Mission Critical Communications Demand Higher Flexibility  
Organization:  
SDIS90 Belfort’s geographically distributed firefighting teams needed a high-performance,  
secure communications infrastructure to connect their central command site to three remote  
locations. Colonel Jean Demange, technical director of the Belfort Territory fire brigade, contacted  
systems integrator Black Box France for their advice and expertise to provide a practical solution  
that met the need for security, future growth, and high performance.  
SDIS90 Belfort is one of  
100 fire brigades located  
throughout France  
Location:  
Belfort Territory, France  
Various remote locations  
After discussing the unique deployment requirements with Black Box France, it was determined  
that three high-speed 6xE1connections between the four locations would be the best solution.  
However, with SDIS90 Belfort’s highly sensitive transmissions in mind, it became apparent that  
the wide area networks (WAN) equipment required to connect all locations would have to be  
highly scalable, reliable, and sustain the highest security standards.  
Situation:  
Emergency communica-  
tions network required a  
scalable, flexible, and high-  
performing router solution  
Solution Used:  
5840 Multiport Router  
"In assessing the needs of the fire brigade in Belfort, we quickly understood that we required a  
solution that combined a high amount of flexibility with bandwidth scalability," said Jean-Luc La  
Paglia, sales director Black Box France. “Furthermore, we were looking for a solution that would  
allow our customer’s four sites to easily collaborate and share information and, at the same time  
ensure ease of configuration, management and security."  
Main Benefits:  
Scalability to handle network  
growth  
Enhanced network reliability  
and performance through  
load sharing and load  
balancing  
Solution: Integrated Multilink, Routing and IP Probe Functions  
Decreased total cost of  
ownership  
Quick Eagle Networks, a provider of intelligent WAN access solutions, was called upon by Black  
Box France to provide a solution that could ensure reliable and secure transmissions between  
the four sites in a highly efficient manner.
