Manama-IX Internet exchange opens for business: Batelco

Batelco announced that its Manama-IX (mn-ix), the carrier-neutral internet traffic exchange platform, located in Bahrain, is ready to welcome businesses to interconnect with local, regional and global networks.

The launch plan of Manama-IX (mn-ix) was announced earlier this year, following the signing of a partnership agreement between Batelco and AMSIX, the world’s leading Internet Exchange. Manama-IX, located in Global Zone, the neutral transit zone, serves as a neutral Internet traffic exchange platform interconnecting global carriers, local and international operators and both content and cloud providers.

Batelco Chief Global Business Officer Adel Al-Daylami said: “The introduction of Manama-IX is in line with Batelco’s strategy to support Bahrain’s vision for the Kingdom as a key digital hub in the region.” “The platform is now open for business and we have been delighted with the response so far with a number of leading industry players already on board,” Al-Daylami added.
