RETN and DTEL-IX together have implemented their first 100GbE Remote-IX connection

Published Date

“DTEX-IX is the biggest IXP in Ukraine and initially we connected as a regular member.  A couple of years ago we signed a partnership agreement and became an official DTEL-IX reseller, allowing us to provide RETN Remote IX services connecting clients to DTEL-IX. We believe that with such joint projects we contribute to the development of local connectivity while enabling our international and Ukrainian clients and DTEL-IX’s members to benefit from peering in Eastern Europe,” – said Elena Lutsenko, Managing Director RETN LLC in Ukraine.

According to Matthias Hartmann, co-founder of DTEL-IX, connectivity on this scale is exceptional in Ukraine:

“In several years’ time 100GE connections will become common in the region. This co-operation between RETN and DTEL-IX is certainly good for our companies, improving connectivity for DTEL-IX's members and RETN’s international customers. It is a major statement that both RETN and DTEL-IX are committed to development of the local market and to the partnership.”
