Arelion (formerly known as Telia Carrier) has opened a new cloud and managed services point of presence (PoP) in Belgrade, Serbia.
The new PoP, located at CETIN’s carrier-neutral data centre, will provide high-speed IP transit, cloud connect and internet exchange (IX) services for content providers and enterprises across the metropolitan area.
The PoP will give customers improved access to local and international backbone IP services (including the Arelion AS1299 network), providing greater choice over where to house their apps and content, whilst also increasing the resilience available for running mission critical services.
According to Serbian government figures, 10% of the country’s GDP comes from the ICT sector, with 3,355 firms involved in the market in Q1 2022.
“The Arelion PoP will support this expanding sector and its customers by bringing international markets and cloud providers closer to Serbia through additional routes and new levels of performance,” said the carrier.
