     Worldwide Internet: UAE-IX forms new bridge between Europe and Asia

    October 1, 2012 marks the start of UAE-IX, an Internet exchange in Dubai,

United Arab Emirates (UAE). DE-CIX, the world's largest Internet Exchange,

based in Frankfurt, Germany, has provided know-how and support for the hub's

operation. UAE-IX is a neutral Internet traffic exchange platform that

interconnects global networks and, above all, network operators and content

providers in the GCC region. The UAE-IX is built on a fully redundant switching

platform located in a neutral secure datacenter in Dubai. The new Internet

Exchange will reduce latency times by up to 80 per cent and costs by up to 70

per cent for GCC providers. Moreover, UAE-IX will improve IP network resilience

and robustness and will also help provide reliable connectivity within the GCC.
