RETN, a leading independent global network service provider, has expanded its presence in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a new PoP at Neterra\u2019s SDC \u2013 Sofia Data Center, further strengthening its network footprint in Southeast Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansion also marks the addition of Neterra as a new RETN IP Transit customer. Neterra is now connected to RETN\u2019s international backbone, gaining access to RETN\u2019s extensive network across Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new PoP adds further capacity and connectivity options in Sofia, one of the Balkans\u2019 key interconnection hubs, supporting carriers, service providers, content providers and enterprises with scalable IP Transit and diverse routes to major European and Eurasian markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Neterra, the connection adds another international route to its upstream mix, expanding its options for carrying traffic to and from Europe and Asia. Neterra\u2019s customers \u2013 carriers, ISPs, content providers and enterprises across Southeast Europe \u2013 benefit from greater route diversity and added resilience, with traffic able to reach major markets over multiple independent paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the addition of SDC, RETN now operates eight on-net PoPs in Sofia, reinforcing the city\u2019s role within its regional network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSofia is an important connectivity hub for Southeast Europe and expanding our PoP footprint here strengthens our ability to serve customers across the region,\u201d said Betina Pavlova, Commercial Director at RETN. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to welcome Neterra as a new IP Transit customer and to connect them to RETN\u2019s international backbone. This expansion further strengthens our network in Southeast Europe and the connectivity options available to customers across the region and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRoute diversity is what keeps a network dependable,\u201d said Dean Belev, Senior Product Manager, Connectivity and NetIX at Neterra. \u201cAdding RETN as an upstream provider gives us another independent path to Europe and Asia, and that translates directly into more resilient connectivity for our customers across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
