AMS-IX, together with HGC Global Communications Limited (HGC) and International Gateway Company Limited (IGC), celebrated the launch of a major new Internet Exchange in the capital of Thailand.
Under the terms of the partnership, HGC will serve as a commercial partner and marketing arm for AMS-IX Bangkok, while IGC provides IX infrastructure, network, and operation in Bangkok. AMS-IX, with their expertise on peering and network monitoring, will give technical support and has operational management of the exchange.
Bangkok is strategically located at the heart of Southeast Asia which makes it ideal as an international hub for exchanging Internet traffic and a perfect location as a gateway to the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). It is one of the prime locations where Internet companies exchange Internet traffic besides Singapore and Hong Kong. Nearly 250 million eyeballs in Southeast Asia can now enjoy an uplifted online experience.
