ATLASEDGE PARTNERS WITH AFR-IX TELECOM TO BOOST CONNECTIVITY FOR BARCELONA CUSTOMERS
AtlasEdge, a leading European data centre provider, has announced the signing of an agreement with AFR-IX Telecom, an infrastructure and licensed telecommunication operator, to provide a new Point of Presence( POP) that will connect AtlasEdge’ s Barcelona BCN001 ° data centre with the AFR-IX Telecom-owned Barcelona Cable Landing Station( CLS).
Connected to multiple international submarine cables, the Barcelona CLS serves as a key hub between the Mediterranean basin and the Atlantic. Integration with the hub via this new POP will see BCN001 ° become a critical node in the connectivity ecosystem.
The partnership will provide high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity, crucial for data-intensive applications and services, and significantly enhance the resilience and redundancy of AtlasEdge’ s network, ensuring continuous service even in case of route failures.
