DTEL-IX expands international cooperation

RETN and DTEL-IX have signed an agreement allowing RETN to offer peering services at DTEL-IX over RETN's cross-border network. RETN's worldwide customer base now has the opportunity to improve their connectivity by taking advantage of remote connection to the leading neutral IX platform in Ukraine. The partnership is particularly interesting for providers in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States who wish to interact directly with Ukrainian telecom players while minimising their costs.
DTEL-IX has joined RETN's existing remote peering partners: AMS-IX, DE-CIX, LINX, MSK-IX, Netnod. Increased partnerships with significant International traffic exchange points, allows RETN to strengthen its global presence and expands the scope of RETN Remote IX service.
"Our partnership with DTEL-IX allows our international customers to enjoy all the benefits of peering at a distance in Eastern Europe from any RETN PoP. The service enables RETN's customers to develop their networks through interactions with multiple members of DTEL-IX without having a physical presence at the DTEL-IX platform in Ukraine. Customers also benefit with access to the wide range of RETN services available after connecting to RETN's network, which has extensive coverage in Eastern Europe", said Tony O'Sullivan, Director at RETN Ltd.
