Extreme IXP has expanded its points of presence (PoPs) across Bangalore city with immediate effect. Extreme IXP has deployed three PoPs in Electronic City, two in Whitefield and one in Basavanagudi within Bangalore city to ensure an enhanced port utilisation to almost 3Tbps and throughput to almost 1.5Tbps. The launch of these six new PoPs is a step forward in Extreme IXP’s commitment to creating the right infrastructure, capabilities, and support to render superior and seamless user experience despite traffic spikes.
The six locations in Bangalore are CtrlS HS DC01 – Electronic City, Netmagic DC02 – Electronic City, Nxtra Data – Whitefield, Sify – ITPL, Whitefield, STT1 – Whitefield and Micronova – Basavangudi.
Commenting on the expansion, Raunak Maheshwari, executive director, Extreme IXP, said, “Extreme is committed to transforming wireline broadband for which one of the requirements is the development of internet exchange point (IXP) and peering ecosystem in India. Extreme IXP – Bangalore is another milestone in this direction. With six PoPs across Bangalore, we will be able to support affordable and faster internet capabilities to the internet service providers (ISPs) in the city, ensuring easy and quick access to reliable internet to the citizens.”
In order to meet the escalating connectivity demands and growing data consumption across all verticals, these newly added PoPs will act as a facilitator for local ISPs to extend faster and more affordable internet service to customers while also bridging the gaps in the internet infrastructure that are presently widening the digital divide in India.
Extreme IXP has now increased its geographical presence and leadership position in the market with a total of 36 PoPs in six cities across India, thereby strengthening its already existing leadership position in the Indian internet ecosystem. In addition to its functional base in Bangalore, Extreme IXP is also present at multiple locations in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata with a long-term objective to cover the entire length and breadth of the country, thereby localising content access for everyone.
