The North African network operator is now able to access and directly exchange traffic with other networks and in-demand content providers at DE-CIX Palermo.
“Through peering at DE-CIX Palermo, we are significantly reducing our IP transit and network costs and gain more control over our routing,” said Hatem Mestiri, CTO of Ooredoo Tunisie.
“On top, we are enhancing the end-user experience for our customers. We have chosen DE-CIX as we value the company’s long term knowledge in peering and interconnection services and their high level service support.” DE-CIX was named the best internet exchange at the 2016 Global Carrier Awards.
