GNM-IX, the Dutch Internet Exchange and backbone operator, has announced the launch of a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Bucharest, Romania, located in NXDATA-1, the country’s leading carrier-neutral data centre and digital gateway to Southeast Europe.
This milestone marks GNM’s first presence in Romania, expanding the company’s distributed interconnection platform into one of Europe’s most mature and fast-growing network ecosystems.
The new Bucharest site provides access to GNM’s core connectivity services – Internet Exchange (GNM-IX), VLAN-based interconnections, and global IP Transit. This enables Romanian operators and content networks to exchange traffic locally and optimise international routes through GNM’s multi-terabit platform, reducing latency and transit costs while improving overall network resilience.
For existing GNM members, the new PoP strengthens connectivity across Southeast Europe, creating additional redundancy and more efficient routing options toward the Balkans, Central Europe, and beyond.
“Our goal is to make high-performance connectivity available wherever networks grow,” said Alex Surkoff, Business Development Director at GNM. “Expanding to Bucharest enhances our distributed architecture and gives both local and international operators new ways to interconnect – staying local in traffic exchange while remaining part of the global Internet fabric.”
With more than 10 Tbps of aggregated traffic and 650+ connected networks, GNM-IX continues to strengthen its position among Europe’s most connected and resilient interconnection platforms – driving the Internet, from backbone to peering.
