Strabag subsidiary 43 Efkon will deliver, install, operate and maintain the enforcement software and system technology for the satellite tolling of Belgian’s primary road network for a period of twelve years.

The sky-ways consortium, comprising Strabag and satellite tolling provider 7157 T-Systems will operate the concession on a contractually specified availability basis. Belgian telecommunications company Belgacom will supply telecommunications and data centre services.
