Genesi Networks’ Post

ESpanix opens a POP in #Barcelona. The Barcelona Cable Landing Station (CLS), owned by AFR-IX telecom, and ESpanix announce their agreement that allows companies in the Catalan capital to access all ESpanix services, in particular ESpanix neutral Node. Following the launch of the ESpanix Reach service last April, which gives access to ESpanix from the main European data centers, this agreement extends the presence of the neutral node to the city of Barcelona. The new access point is attractive for Catalan operators and companies as it reduces the transport cost between #Madrid and Barcelona. Companies that are already connected to ESpanix in Madrid from Catalonia can now connect from the CLS facilities. In the same way, CLS customers can directly access the largest concentration of networks in the country without worrying about the link to Madrid. This new POP is part of ESpanix's growth strategy, which reinforces its position as the largest digital hub in Southern Europe and increasingly represents the most effective tool for minimizing the cost and latency of the networks that make up the Internet. #interconnection #Spain #Catalonia

This is just amazing! ESpanix has a new POP, hosted at the Barcelona Cable Landing Station. The expansion of ESpanix outside the metro area of Madrid has been in the air for quite some time now, and it took a Cable Landing Station to make it... well, land. 😅 I expect existing ESpanix members from Barcelona to connect there as well. They can keep their existing ports in Madrid for increased redundancy and capacity or drop them to cut costs. Either cases are positive for them. 😁 I'm curious to see how the networks will use their Barcelona ports: will they peer with other local networks only? Will they prefer to peer with Madrid only? Or both? ESpanix traffic matrix will grow anyways. Now, the big question: who's next? Will ESpanix open more POPs and where? Stay tuned for more!

👉 Faroe Islands introduce 5G network ===================> Faroese telecommunication is accelerating: on 15 April 2024 the 5G network will be launched in the Faroe Islands. According to Faroese, this will be one of the best networks of its kind in the world, covering the entire archipelago and the surrounding waters. This is also great news for tourists, for whom a new tele-packet is provided. The investment is the result of a collaboration between the main Faroese telecom operator Føroya Tele Samtakið (Faroese Telecom Group) and one of the pioneers of 5G technology - the Swedish company Ericsson. The islanders entrusted the execution of the new network to Ericsson not only because of its technological competence, but also the planned further joint business activities. The new 5G installation will also be used by a second Faroese telecom – #Nema. Access to the transmitters owned by Føroya Tele has been secured through an appropriate agreement. The coverage and capacity for both operators will be the same, while the subject of competition will be 5G-based services. Tourists will also benefit from the opportunities offered by the new network. Føroya Tele has prepared a 📱 Starter Kit - a mobile package including 7 GB of data and DKK 50 for calls and SMS with top-up. The cost: DKK 197. The Starter Kit can be purchased at Føroya Tele shops (Vágar Airport, Tórshavn, Hoyvík, Klaksvík, Saltangará, Tvøroyri). High-speed and reliable Internet will be especially useful when trekking in the mountains or during adventure at sea. Besides, based on the 5G network, the first tourism products are being developed. One of these is the free audio guide, based on QR codes, being implemented by Visit Suðuroy - a tourism organisation from the southernmost island of the archipelago.

Japan has and continues to play a leadership role in clean/climatetech. From the early days of PV (solar), electrification of transport to Hydrogen 1.0, Japanese corporates with supportive policy have played a global leadership role in these emerging decarb sectors. The country's leadership continues. Prime Minister Kishida's Startup Development plan and his recent visit to NC State in Raleigh represent a focus to strengthen ties between the Japanese-US startup ecosystems. Japanese global shipping and industrial corporates have formed CVCs and are investing in alternative fuel technology to decarb deep sea shipping. And Japan was also likely the first nation to include seaweed in their national carbon emission calculation.
