AqabaIX powered by de-cix

With strategic partnership with Aqaba Digital Hub, we are introducing our first Internet Exchange on the shores of the Red Sea: AqabaIX powered by DE-CIX.

AqabaIX already connects more than a dozen networks and has over 100 Gbps of peak traffic. The platform will be upgraded to the DE-CIX Apollon interconnection infrastructure and will be operated by DE-CIX.

The interconnection platform serves as an alternate corridor for data flows between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and as a hub for regional connectivity.
