The launch plan of Manama-IX (mn-ix) was announced earlier this year, following the signing of a partnership agreement between Batelco and AMS-IX, the world’s leading Internet exchange.

MANAMA: Manama-IX (mn-ix), the carrier neutral Internet traffic exchange platform located in Bahrain, is now ready to accept global networks through its integrated platform.

Manama-IX serves as a neutral Internet traffic exchange platform interconnecting global carriers, local and international operators and both content and cloud providers.

The new platform will contribute towards the development and enhancement of Internet services across the region localising and retaining regional traffic and ultimately enhancing user experience.

Batelco chief global business officer Adel Al Daylami said: “The introduction of Manama-IX is in line with Batelco’s strategy to support the vision to make the kingdom 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. Our goal is to develop Manama-IX into a leading Internet hub in the Mena region and ultimately into a global digital gateway,” he added.
