“The TRANSKZ network is definitely a success”, said Dmitry Samarin, CEO at RETN.
“As a result of the geographical development of our network we can now offer our partners and customers improved connectivity and resilience to the Far East. Thanks to the partnership with Transtelecom, RETN has surpassed the existing routes on the market.”

In less than 10 years RETN has established itself as a major player on an international level and raised the attention of well-known carriers, operators and companies all over the globe, the comapny said. The TRANSKZ network is one of the most important and valuable projects completed by RETN.
The TRANSKZ network allows for transport of traffic from sub-1Gbps to n x 10Gbps between Europe and east Asia linking three of the world’s biggest financial centres, London, Frankfurt and Hong Kong.
