Esther Garcés, CEO of Islalink
Having MIX as a partner is essential for the IONIAN project: MIX in Milan is the most important interconnection point, which brings together Italian and foreign carriers, OTTs and providers. Activating a PoP at MIX for IONIAN is a natural step to provide our services to the market. Furthermore, MIX’s strong experience in colocation and service provision gives us a lot of confidence to face such a demanding undertaking. We are very confident that IONIAN will bring variety and quality of service to networks that want to interconnect between Italy and Greece and beyond.
