GNM has taken significant strides in expanding its network infrastructure by setting up a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Budapest. This strategic move leverages its proprietary DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system, aiming to enhance network reliability by improving redundancy and optimizing traffic flow. Consequently, this operational upgrade reduces potential failure points, ensuring a more resilient connection across networks.
Alongside these advancements, the Budapest PoP offers interconnection services like GNM-IX and IP Transit. It enables direct connections to numerous networks and opens up access to Tier-1 connectivity providers. The flexible port options, ranging from 10G to 400G, cater to varying bandwidth demands, offering customized solutions.
In Alex Surkoff’s words, Business Development Director at GNM: “The launch of our Budapest PoP marks an important milestone in GNM’s expansion strategy. This new PoP not only enhances connectivity in Central Europe but also supports local telecom providers by delivering cost-efficient and scalable solutions.”
The Budapest PoP’s integration into GNM’s European backbone network strengthens connections with hubs in Bratislava and Sofia. Hungarian telecommunications providers benefit greatly from improved European content access and international networks, thereby decreasing reliance on third-party transit providers. Simultaneously, it facilitates seamless integration with global content providers, cloud platforms, and international carriers. By ensuring stable traffic flows and reducing latency, the PoP offers efficient data exchange and enhanced service quality for end-users.
Looking ahead, GNM plans to further expand its backbone network with new PoPs across Central Europe. This effort will bolster network coverage, supporting businesses and telecom operators with a robust digital infrastructure.
