Djibouti Telecom, the international carrier with the strongest presence in both the Horn and the East of Africa has joined DE-CIX, the world’s leading Internet Exchange operator, to peer its IP traffic through DE-CIX’s Internet Exchange in Marseille and the Dubai based UAE-IX powered by DE-CIX.
“The main two reasons to peer with any Internet exchange are quality, reducing latency and the cost of IP transit,” stated Mohamed Ahmed, Director of International Business at Djibouti Telecom. “Joining DE-CIX will provide Djibouti Telecom with the opportunity to improve its customer’s experience, especially with the presence of Akamai, Google, Microsoft and other global ISPs and CDNs at DE-CIX,” he added.
