RETN has confirmed a strategic partnership with JPNAP, one of Japan’s leading high-capacity Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), becoming an official reseller of JPNAP services.
The agreement marks a significant step in RETN’s broader expansion of its Remote IX offering across Asia – unlocking streamlined access to JPNAP’s extensive network for RETN customers and enabling direct peering with key Japanese and international networks.
As demand for Japanese content and services grows globally, international telecom companies are increasingly looking to enter the Japanese market – without having to invest in infrastructure locally.
JPNAP’s strategic location and high concentration of network operators make it a critical interconnection point for Asia. RETN’s Remote IX services will open the key Asian markets, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea, connecting customers to JPNAP and enabling them to capitalise on Japan’s digital economy. At the same time, Japanese networks benefit from RETN’s extensive Eurasian infrastructure, creating a two-way bridge between Japan and the rest of the world.
William Manzione, Product Manager, RETN, said: “The APAC region is a key growth market for our customers, with Japan playing a major role in that opportunity. Partnering with JPNAP allows us to deliver superior connectivity and provide a cost-effective gateway to the Japanese market.”
Hidekazu Yokouchi, Vice President, JPNAP, said: added, “RETN’s global network and expertise in delivering connectivity solutions make them an ideal partner to help us connect more networks to JPNAP.”
