Intelligent-network management software developer OPNET Technologies Inc. (Quote) of Bethesda, Md., said it has fully acquired WDM NetDesign B.V.B.A., a Belgium-based software company with expertise in optical network design.
The new entity, called OPNET Technologies B.V.B.A., is based in Ghent, Belgium. The Belgium team will initially focus on further development and sales of OPNET's new WDM Guru product, as well as continued research and development of optical network design algorithms to be used in OPNET's products, including Netbiz and SP Guru.
WDM NetDesign B.V.B.A. was formed in August 2001 by OPNET and Comsof, two leaders in their respective fields. Comsof, a Belgium-based software company specializing in optical network design, transferred the development team and all intellectual property for its commercial software products to WDM NetDesign.
Today's announcement further expands OPNET's international presence to include direct offices in the United States, the UK, Australia, France, and now Belgium.
