GlobalNet, a backbone Internet Service Provider, has established a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Vienna, marking its first entry into Austria. The PoP is located at the Digital Realty VE2 data center (Louis-Häfliger-Gasse 10, Building 1, 1210). This strategic expansion aligns with the company’s goal of achieving comprehensive coverage throughout the region.
The Vienna PoP will provide a range of connectivity and capacity solutions, including IP Transit, DATAIX Internet Exchange, DWDM, and Wavelength services. The new PoP is fully integrated into GlobalNet’s existing fiber optic backbone, connected to the major internet hub Equinix FR5 in Frankfurt via ROADM nodes in Stuttgart and Munich. This route is built on advanced DWDM technology, offering scalable capacity from 10G to 400G.
“The establishment of our presence in Austria marks a pivotal milestone in our global strategy to expand our DWDM network and connectivity services across Europe. This unique hub positions us to attract and manage diverse traffic flows throughout the region,” said Alex Surkoff, Business Development Director at GlobalNet. “By launching a presence in Austria, we are now positioned to serve a broader range of customers in Central and Southern Europe, as well as the Balkans. The Vienna PoP is a crucial addition to our network, enabling us to extend our services to new markets, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary.”
