DE-CIX Istanbul Internet exchange expands to TurkNet data center

DE-CIX Istanbul will extend its setup to the TurkNet data center in Gayrettepe. With the additional TurkNet site, DE-CIX Istanbul will be available at five enabled sites in Istanbul and at more than 20 access points in Ankara, Bursa and Izmir. TurkNet is the leading telecom operator in Turkey and will also connect its network to DE-CIX Istanbul to improve the quality of its Internet traffic.

“As a member of the Turkish Network Alliance Platform, we established our strategy based on redundancy and ever-increasing quality. After launching direct exchanges with Facebook and Google in previous months, the agreement with DE-CIX represents another crucial step toward achieving our strategy. By carrying our Internet traffic to DE-CIX’s Internet exchange point in Istanbul, we will continue to increase our traffic quality. We plan to strengthen our network with similar collaborations in the near future,” says Cem Çelebiler, General Manager of TurkNet.
