With the relentless rise of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, keeping networks safe is a never-ending challenge, hence you may have seen the launch of <strong>our new DDoS mitigation platform</strong> earlier last year. However, RETN has a powerful, old friend - <strong>Flowspec</strong>, a protocol with a colourful 20-year history that’s still defending (and surprising) people with its capabilities. This advanced BGP protocol offers unparalleled control over network traffic.</p><h3>Flowspec: The Protocol That Took Its Time</h3><p>Despite being around for nearly two decades, Flowspec is far from the industry default for network security. In fact, many Internet Service Providers (<strong>ISPs</strong>) still haven’t invited Flowspec to the cybersecurity party. Some vendors have only recently added support for Flowspec, leaving ISPs playing catch-up on upgrades. Lucky for RETN, we’ve been a step ahead - thanks to <a href=\"https://www.juniper.net/gb/en.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Juniper Networks</a>, our routers were ready for Flowspec from day one. We’ve been able to protect our network (and our clients’ nerves) from UDP flood attacks without waiting around for the competition to catch on.</p><h3>Early Bugs and Blackholes: Flowspec’s Growing Pains</h3><p>When Flowspec first appeared, there were more than a few bugs. One particularly memorable story from an ISP (not RETN, thankfully!) involved a misconfigured rule that accidentally blocked all TCP packets port 443 - essentially blackholing secure web traffic across their network. While it wasn’t a full-scale <strong>BGP leak disaster</strong>, it was an epic reminder that with great power comes great responsibility. Today, with careful configuration and thoughtful rule design, Flowspec has become the bouncer at our firewall’s door, keeping the malicious traffic at bay and bolstering our <strong>cyber defence</strong>.</p><h3>Smarter Filtering at the Edge of the Network</h3><p>Unlike traditional <strong>BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)</strong>, which just handles routes, Flowspec goes deeper. It uses TCP and UDP headers along with other packet details to create precise traffic filtering rules. This makes it a champion at managing <strong>DDoS protection</strong> for attacks like UDP floods - a common DDoS attack type where servers are bombarded with fragmented traffic, forcing them to reassemble packets. With Flowspec, RETN intercepts and discards suspicious traffic before it even reaches our firewalls, acting as a kind of preemptive bouncer and saving our firewalls from a flood of needless processing. This is a core part of our <strong>proactive network security strategy</strong>.</p><h3>Beyond Standard: RETN’s Custom Flowspec Validator</h3><p>The standard Flowspec validation rules had their limits, so RETN took matters into its own hands. We developed a custom validator that enforces Flowspec’s checks, making sure that each rule is rigorously vetted before being applied. Think of it as our home-grown \"hacker\" tweak, optimising Flowspec to fit the unique needs of our network. This custom approach ensures that even if the RFC standards don’t catch a mismatch, our validator does.</p><h3>The Battle Strategy: Clever Rule Ordering and Traffic Management</h3><p>Deploying Flowspec isn’t just about turning it on, rules should be carefully planned; moreover, like in traditional firewall rules, order also matters, meaning that Flowspec filters act in a strategic sequence. Therefore, you can send instructions to RETN’s border routers to match packets with SYN flag first, then drop packets with particular lengths, and so on. It’s like a network defence “choose-your-own-adventure” game, but for packets - flows have to fight their way through a series of cleverly ordered filters, ensuring that threats are neutralised efficiently. This approach is key to our <strong>resilient network connectivity</strong>.</p><h3>Scalable Defence, Distributed Filtering</h3><p>One of the biggest advantages of Flowspec is its scalability. Every router in the network can participate in cleaning, which eliminates the capacity limitation related to firewall devices or scrubbing servers. You can configure/import rules on a single router, but then it will be distributed across the whole network and optionally beyond. So, the whole network turns out to be an actor in <strong>traffic mitigation</strong>, not only dedicated devices. If necessary, the updated rule can be distributed the same way, which is much easier than the orchestration of a bunch of firewalls.</p><h3>Open-Source Power </h3><p>There are a lot of various tools related to traffic data collection, analysis and threats detection. Some of them are proprietary and expensive, but there are also some open-source solutions.</p><p>Since Flowspec is an RFC-standardised feature that works on standard BGP protocol, it allows very smooth and easy integration to various systems. And these monitoring tools get capability not only to look but also to perform some actions based on their observations. </p><h3>The Evolution of Flowspec and Support for IPv6</h3><p>Initially, Flowspec was limited to IPv4, but today it’s fully compatible with IPv6 - future-proofing our security strategy as the internet expands. Combined with network automation and advanced routing protocols, RETN’s Flowspec implementation is ready to handle both today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. For us, IPv6 support is essential, especially as more customers require this level of readiness in a secure, scalable internet experience.</p><h3>Monitoring the Battle: Keeping Tabs on Flowspec’s Impact</h3><p>To keep our network safe, we rely on robust network monitoring tools like <a href=\"https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1157\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">SNMP</a> and <a href=\"https://www.zabbix.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Zabbix</a> to track Flowspec’s real-time impact on traffic. When a threat emerges, Flowspec intercepts it at the edge, feeding data back to our monitoring systems. This comprehensive oversight ensures that every filtered packet and discarded UDP flood is accounted for, allowing us to constantly refine and improve our approach to internet security.</p><h3>The Bottom Line: Flowspec is RETN’s Edge in Cybersecurity</h3><p>As cyber threats continue to evolve, Flowspec remains one of RETN’s most essential tools for BGP-based traffic management and automated DDoS protection. It’s a protocol that’s taken its time to catch on, but it’s proving its worth as a critical asset for network security. From keeping our routers safe to filtering floods before they reach our firewalls, Flowspec is not just a tool - it’s a strategic part of our approach to resilient connectivity.</p><p>In the ever-changing world of internet security, RETN’s adoption of Flowspec stands out as a bold move to defend against attacks while optimising traffic flow for a seamless customer experience. And as the threats grow, so does our commitment to deploying innovative, powerful solutions to protect our network and yours.</p><p><br></p><p>Explore the full <a href=\"https://retn.net/products/ddos-protection\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>portfolio of RETN DDoS protection services</u></a>.</p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":"RETN uses Flowspec for advanced network security and DDoS mitigation.

That was the message our CEO, Tony O’Sullivan, kicked off with at the CCT2025 event in Dublin - setting the stage for a lively panel on digital transformation in telecoms. Tony reminded us that progress doesn’t come from just upgrading systems; it comes from rethinking how we work. With the right mindset, technology becomes a catalyst for transformation, not just a digital version of old processes.</p><p>“We aim to automate 80 to 90% of the routine tasks, freeing our engineers to focus on the 10 to 20% of unique customer cases - delivering exceptional service”, Tony said.</p><p>He also pointed out a big industry shift thanks to cloud computing: customers now expect flexibility. “It’s not so much about cutting costs. It’s about offering choices - alternatives to the traditional 36-month contracts; true flexibility. We’re building our services around that.”</p><p>Above all, as another speaker put it: “Telecoms need to think more like tech companies - embracing innovation while keeping infrastructure and connectivity rock-solid.”</p><p>Thanks to the CCT team and fellow panelists for an inspiring conversation.</p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":""},{"slug":"Sustainable_Telecomunications_RETN","date":1749772800,"event_date":1749772800,"title":"RETN: Leading the Way in Sustainable Telecommunications","type":"new","tags":[{"id":3,"name":"Network"},{"id":5,"name":"Partnerships"},{"id":16,"name":"ESG"}],"description":"<p>﻿At RETN, we are committed to creating a sustainable future in the telecommunications industry.

Imagine a team member already stressed from a sleepless night inadvertently clicking a malicious link during a moment of distraction. Despite robust training and heightened awareness, human error remains a significant vulnerability—one that hackers are all too eager to exploit.</p><p>This phenomenon illustrates the fundamental challenge in cybersecurity: the intersection of technology and human behaviour. Acknowledging this reality, organisations are increasingly turning to advanced AI solutions to bolster their defences. However, a crucial question remains: how many systems do we need to feel secure? The unfortunate truth is that no amount of technology can guarantee absolute safety. Cyber threats evolve rapidly, and the configurations of security systems can be complex, leading to oversights that leave organisations vulnerable.</p><p>Consider the cautionary tale of a major Australian pension fund that lost millions due to a seemingly minor oversight: a single service deactivated by their cloud provider led to catastrophic failures. Despite having a robust system in place, the organisation faced significant losses due to a lack of contingency planning for such scenarios. This incident underscores the importance of maintaining common sense in cybersecurity practices. While having robust systems is essential, they cannot replace a culture of vigilance and proactive measures within organisations.</p><p><strong>The Role of Common Sense in Cybersecurity</strong></p><p>Common sense dictates that, while advanced security measures are vital, they must be complemented by an organisational culture that prioritises cybersecurity at every level. Regular audits, testing, and drills are crucial. Often, it is simple backdoors or overlooked configurations that lead to breaches. The key is not merely having systems in place but also ensuring they are effectively monitored and managed.</p><p>Additionally, there is a notable trend of organisations relying heavily on well-known providers for their cybersecurity solutions. While these providers often offer advanced technology, it's essential to remember that no system is infallible. Ransomware attacks can occur irrespective of the provider’s reputation. Organisations must prioritise their internal processes and readiness over blind faith in external suppliers. Adopting a \"zero trust\" philosophy can significantly mitigate risk, ensuring that every aspect of the system is scrutinised, regardless of the source.</p><p><strong>The Human Element: Training and Awareness</strong></p><p>The human element in cybersecurity cannot be ignored. Training staff to recognise threats, encouraging regular password updates, and fostering an environment where cybersecurity is viewed as a shared responsibility are essential steps for building a robust security culture. For instance, organisations should educate employees on the importance of creating complex passwords that are unique to each platform and require regular updates. Just as businesses have evolved to meet new demands, so too must their cybersecurity strategies incorporate continual education and adaptive policies.</p><p>Moreover, employees should be empowered to voice concerns when they spot potential vulnerabilities. This fosters a culture of transparency and vigilance. Encouraging staff to report suspicious activities without fear of reprimand can lead to quicker identification of threats and ultimately enhance overall security.</p><p><strong>Integrating Technology and Human Resources</strong></p><p>As we navigate the complexities of cybersecurity, it becomes clear that a balanced approach is necessary. It is not just about implementing cutting-edge technology; it is equally about investing in the human resources that will ensure these systems are utilised effectively. This includes hiring or training personnel with a strong understanding of cybersecurity protocols and creating a team-oriented environment where everyone plays a role in maintaining security.</p><p>For organisations, this means viewing cybersecurity as a continuous process rather than a one-time fix. Regular training sessions, simulated attacks, and updated protocols should be integral components of an organisation's cybersecurity strategy. Moreover, having a dedicated team (usually called SOC – Security Operations Centre) focused on monitoring and responding to threats can help identify potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited.</p><p><strong>The Future of Cybersecurity: A Collaborative Effort</strong></p><p>The future of cybersecurity lies in collaboration—both internally within organisations and externally with partners and suppliers. Companies should develop partnerships with cybersecurity experts who can provide valuable insights and resources. Engaging with industry peers can also offer a broader perspective on emerging threats and best practices for defence.</p><p>When we are speaking about cyber security on the network level, RETN believes that the responsibility should increasingly lie with the network operator, as the first line of support and protection for end users. For example, our new DDoS mitigation solution, is an essential commodity we offer to all wholesale and enterprise businesses – it is no longer a luxury or a nice to have, it’s an absolute necessity to protect your business and continuous operations. </p><p>Additionally, organisations must commit to fostering a culture of awareness and adaptability. This includes staying informed about the latest trends in cybersecurity and ensuring that staff are equipped to respond effectively to threats. Providing access to resources, such as webinars and white papers on cybersecurity best practices, can empower employees to take an active role in safeguarding their organisation.</p><p>In conclusion, navigating the complexities of cybersecurity requires a holistic approach that integrates technology, human behaviour, and organisational culture. It is essential to build a security posture that combines advanced technology with the fundamental principles of common sense and vigilance. By prioritising training, fostering a culture of transparency, and embracing continuous improvement, organisations can better protect themselves against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. As we move forward, let’s commit to creating a secure environment where both technology and the human element work in harmony to safeguard our digital assets.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Summary of Cybersecurity discussion</strong></p><ol><li><strong>Human Error &amp; Vulnerabilities</strong>: Despite advanced education and training, human error remains a critical factor in security breaches. Hackers exploit distractions or minor oversights, like in the case of an Australian fund losing access to $135 billion due to a misconfiguration in Google Cloud.</li><li><strong>False Sense of Security</strong>: Relying on multiple security systems doesn't guarantee foolproof protection. Even major service providers and biggest software vendors have faced data losses or outages due to overlooked vulnerabilities. </li><li><strong>Common Sense Measures &amp; Backups</strong>: Simple operational missteps, such as missed backups or ignored logs, can lead to massive disruptions. Automated processes like <strong>SIEM</strong> and <strong>EDR</strong> should be complemented by constant oversight to catch issues before they escalate.</li><li><strong>Vendor Trust Issues</strong>: Companies may buy costly, unnecessary solutions pushed by vendors without fully understanding their actual needs. <strong>Zero Trust</strong> models and verification should be applied to every system and supplier to mitigate such risks.</li><li><strong>Process Failures and Testing</strong>: Time pressures often cause companies to skip thorough testing of updates and hardware, leading to vulnerabilities. This results in expensive failures that could have been prevented with more rigorous testing protocols.</li><li><strong>Zero Trust Model</strong>: Implementing a <strong>Zero Trust</strong> approach ensures that no entity, even within the organisation, is fully trusted. This reduces risks from internal errors or external threats.</li><li><strong>Incidents Involving Trusted Solutions</strong>: Even global security providers like <strong>CrowdStrike</strong> have faced significant system failures, proving that even certified and popular solutions are not immune to flaws.</li><li><strong>Tailored Industry Solutions</strong>: Different industries, such as <strong>banking</strong> or <strong>fintech</strong>, face distinct security challenges. Banks are heavily regulated with standardised approaches, while overlooked devices like printers or various CPEs can serve as vulnerable network entry points.</li></ol><p>For details on how our solutions can protect your business, schedule a call with Filip here: <a href=\"https://calendly.com/filip_rau/30min\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://calendly.com/filip_rau/30min</a></p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":""},{"slug":"RETN_and_CRATIS_Enhance_Connectivity_to_Croatia","date":1729728000,"event_date":1729728000,"title":"RETN and CRATIS Enhance Connectivity to Croatia’s Newest Data Centre","type":"new","tags":[{"id":3,"name":"Network"},{"id":4,"name":"Company news"},{"id":5,"name":"Partnerships"}],"description":"<p>RETN and CRATIS, Croatian ICT solutions provider, are proud to announce the commissioning of a new Point of Presence in Croatia's newest state-of-the-art data centre, DC North, located in&nbsp;Varaždin.</p>","picture":{"id":2666,"name":"Croatia_News_Post_800x455_v1","original_name":"Croatia_News_Post_800x455_v1.png","mime":"image/png","extension":"png","size":116570,"sort":0,"path":"news/","description":null,"alt":null,"hash":null,"disk":"public","user_id":2,"group":null,"document_name":null,"is_published":1,"file_lang":null,"is_storage":0,"created_at":"2024-10-24T12:37:17.000000Z","updated_at":"2024-10-24T12:37:17.000000Z","url":"https://retn.net/storage/news/Croatia_News_Post_800x455_v1.png","relativeUrl":"/storage/news/Croatia_News_Post_800x455_v1.png"},"more_title":"RETN and CRATIS Enhance Connectivity to Croatia’s Newest Data Centre","more_description":"<p><strong style=\"color: black;\">Varaždin, Croatia and London</strong><span style=\"color: black;\">&nbsp;–&nbsp;</span><strong style=\"color: black;\">October 24</strong><span style=\"color: black;\">&nbsp;–&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://bit.ly/4cR6quI\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: rgb(5, 99, 193);\">RETN</a><span style=\"color: black;\">, the leading independent global network services provider, and CRATIS, Croatian ICT solutions provider, are proud to announce the commissioning of a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Croatia's newest state-of-the-art data centre, DC North, located in&nbsp;Varaždin.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: black;\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: black;\">DC North, situated approximately 100 kilometres north of Zagreb, is currently Croatia’s only Tier 3 certified facility by the&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://uptimeinstitute.com/tiers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: rgb(5, 99, 193);\">U.S. Uptime Institute</a><span style=\"color: black;\">.

To address the need for diversified and resilient network infrastructure, RETN can now provide high-capacity to Warsaw offering customers this enhanced flexibility and reliability.

This effort is designed to mitigate the financial and operational barriers associated with IPv6 transition, thereby accelerating global adoption rates.</p><p><br></p><h2>The Urgent Need for IPv6 Rapid Adoption</h2><p><br></p><p>The internet is facing a critical juncture with the depletion of IPv4 addresses, making the transition to IPv6 beneficial, essential for the continued growth and sustainability of online services and long overdue, the protocol having been ratified by the IETF in 1995. IPv6 addresses the limitations of its predecessor by providing a vastly expanded address space, enhanced security features, and improved efficiency in routing and network auto-configuration. These advancements are crucial for supporting the burgeoning number of devices connecting to the internet, the expansion of IoT (Internet of Things), and the development of new, innovative online services.</p><p><br></p><h2>Addressing IPv6 Adoption Challenges</h2><p><br></p><p>Economic and innovation drivers are significant motivators for IPv6 adoption, with national infrastructures that embrace IPv6 poised to better support economic opportunities and innovation in critical areas such as IoT and smart infrastructure. However, the transition requires concerted efforts to expand the base of IPv6 users and address the perceived lack of immediate need due to temporary workarounds like Network Address Translation (NAT).</p><p><br></p><p>RETN reports a 40% IPv6 adoption rate among its customer base, closely aligning with Google's observation of 41.72% among its users as of February 19th, 2024, according to Google's IPv6 adoption statistics (<a href=\"https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: rgb(23, 27, 29);\">https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption</a>).</p><p><br></p><h2>Strategic Approaches to IPv6 Adoption</h2><p><br></p><p>Adopting IPv6 involves strategic considerations, including addressing private and public interoperability with IPv6 networks. Organisations are driven by various factors, including regulatory mandates and the need to cater to IPv6-only clients, particularly in the mobile and IoT sectors. RETN is poised to support these strategic needs by facilitating IPv6 adoption through its innovative matching initiative.</p><p><br></p><p>Despite the clear advantages of IPv6, such as enhanced efficiency, security, and performance, the transition to date has been slower than anticipated. RETN's initiative aims to alleviate these concerns by providing a cost-effective pathway to IPv6 adoption.</p><p><br></p><h2>Joining Hands for the Good of the Internet</h2><p><br></p><p>“RETN recognises the importance of IPv6 in ensuring the internet remains unrestricted, accessible, and capable of supporting future technological innovations. By offering IPv6 transit free of charge alongside IPv4 purchases, RETN is not only easing the transition for customers but also contributing to the global effort to adopt IPv6. This initiative reflects RETN's dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions and our commitment to the long-term success and resilience of the internet.” Tony O’Sullivan, CEO of RETN.</p><p><br></p><p>RETN invites businesses, content providers, and network operators to join this initiative and take a pivotal step towards adopting IPv6. By reducing the barriers to IPv6 adoption, RETN is not only facilitating its customers' growth but also contributing to the global effort towards a more robust, secure, and scalable internet.</p><p><br></p><p>For more information on how to participate in RETN's IPv6 adoption initiative, please email <a href=\"mailto:market@retn.net\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: rgb(23, 27, 29);\">market@retn.net</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>About RETN</strong></p><p><br></p><p>RETN is one of the fastest growing independent Eurasian network services providers, with unique resources to connect Europe and Asia.

The service provider takes an engineering-focused, customer-driven approach as it delivers high-quality IP transit, peering, Ethernet VPN, collocation, and cloud connect services over its 132,000-kilometre network. RETN’s in-country expertise helps customers overcome cultural difficulties as they enter new territories and regions.</p><p>“Customers appreciate our expertise and flexibility,” says Manzione. “We work with them to understand their business and help them achieve their goals.”</p><p>To support customers’ growing need for high-performance, resilient connectivity, RETN wanted to upgrade its pan-European network with the next generation of 400G routers.</p><p><br></p><h1>A seamless way to expand</h1><p><br></p><p>RETN has relied on Juniper for its Eurasian backbone for almost 20 years. Based on proven reliability and flexibility, as well as the team’s operational expertise with Juniper platforms, RETN chose the Juniper MX10008 for its next-generation transport network and Juniper ACX Cloud Metro Routers for modernising its metro networks.</p><p>“We don’t have a strict separation between our core and metro networks,” explains Aleksei Serdiuk, project manager at RETN. \"The majority of our network functions as the core, enabling us to directly link customers to the backbone, ensuring exceptional performance and resilience. We offer all customers direct access to core routers, and performance-wise, leveraging the right gear enhances the excellence of this architecture.\"</p><p>RETN’s Eurasian network is extensively interconnected to maximise capacity and resiliency, and the Juniper MX10008 delivers the performance, 100GbE and 400GbE interface density, and versatility that RETN wanted—as well as the investment protection it needed. The MX10008 router, which scales to 76 Tbps in 13 RU (rack units) now and is 800GbE-ready, provides ample capacity for future needs.</p><p>The network upgrade is always seamless. “With the latest change we replaced the core routers with only two hours of downtime,” says Serdiuk.</p><p>Demand for collocation services is also growing, and RETN uses the Juniper QFX5220 Switch and the Juniper QFX5120 Switch for its data center IP fabric. The QFX5220 is ideal for large, dense, and fast data center fabrics and metro networks, with 10GbE to 400GbE interfaces. RETN uses the QFX5120, which supports 1GbE to 100GbE interfaces, for access.</p><p>RETN is deploying Juniper ACX Cloud Metro routers as it expands into more cities and regions. The high-bandwidth, low-latency ACX7100 delivers 4.8 Tbps throughput for aggregation in a compact, energy-efficient footprint. The company uses the ACX710 for access. “We started in London, and next we plan to use the ACX Cloud Metro routers to connect our metro networks in the Baltics,” says Manzione.</p><p><br></p><h1>High capacity with a global reach</h1><p><br></p><p>Service providers and enterprises can rely on RETN for fast, reliable connectivity in western Europe as well as in fast-growing eastern European markets. RETN’s network, with a total 36.8 Tbps capacity and highly diverse routes, supports the delivery of high-performance, highly available services. With the upgrade of its European network, RETN can directly connect customers at speeds from 100 Gbps to 400 Gbps.</p><p>An all-Juniper network supports agile service delivery. RETN’s operations and engineering teams have extensive experience with Juniper solutions, which is essential to the company’s commitment to highly expert, personalised customer support.</p><p>“We don’t have a traditional helpdesk with support tiers,” explains Serdiuk. “Customers communicate with an experienced technical person right away. A team of qualified RETN engineers constantly monitors the network and take preventive measures to ensure continuing service availability.

Based in Budapest and with extensive experience in the telecom industry, Janos shares valuable insights into network trends and innovations:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>“As a seasoned participant in the region, covering Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Czech Republic and its ever-evolving landscape of network connectivity, I’m keen to share two prominent trends shaping the industry, which I’ve witnessed in recent months.”</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Trend 1: The Rising Need for Network Security Post-Pandemic&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With the onset of the COVID pandemic, business networks have experienced an alarming surge in cyber-attacks. As companies rapidly adapted to remote work, digital communication, and heavy reliance on digital infrastructure - cybercriminals saw new avenues to exploit vulnerabilities. In response, the demand for robust network security solutions has soared. Customers are looking beyond traditional IP services and seeking comprehensive solutions that can shield their networks from sophisticated threats.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Across the CEE region, telecoms companies have been closely monitoring these developments and understanding the changing needs of their customers. While traditional security measures suffice for some, a growing number of businesses are seeking comprehensive and tailored solutions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The rising demand for more robust defence mechanisms has paved the way for our proprietary IP Guard solutions. These go beyond standard IP services and offer packaged solutions that combine DDoS protection with IP transit, and we see increased appetite from customers looking to safeguard their networks proactively. For instance, sophisticated technologies like Flowspec enable customers to detect and stop attacks within the upstream network (RETN) before they reach the customer’s infrastructure. This proactive approach not only mitigates the impact of attacks but can also empower customers with additional peace of mind.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bottom-line, these advancements reflect a broader shift in the industry's mindset. Instead of relying solely on homemade solutions, we are seeing customers now keen to explore cutting-edge security options to safeguard their networks effectively.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Trend 2: Embracing 400G Technology</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Large companies in the CEE telecom market are increasingly exploring and testing 400G solutions to meet the growing demand for faster and more future-proof network infrastructures.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The potential of 400G technology extends beyond immediate efficiency gains and cost savings. Forward-thinking businesses are looking ahead, envisioning the future landscape and aiming to maintain competitive advantage. Evaluating their approach and equipment, they are exploring how to future-proof their businesses for the next three to five years. RETN is embracing this consultative approach, working with customers and technical teams, to understand their unique requirements and challenges, and align with long-term goals. An excellent example is our work with BIX to provide a 400Gbps wavelength service to meet the rising demands of cross-border data exchange (you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https://retn.net/cases-testimonials/RETN_supports_BIX's_expansion_with_400Gbps_wavelength_service\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: var(--color-blue); background-color: transparent;\">read more about that here</a>). This collaborative process enables customers to make informed decisions that will have a lasting impact on their businesses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By staying informed about emerging trends, engaging in collaborative discussions, and leveraging the expertise of seasoned telecoms partners, businesses across the CEE region can navigate the evolving landscape with confidence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have any questions or would like to contribute to the conversation, I encourage you to get in touch.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Warm regards,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Janos Matula</p><p>Director of Wholesale Business, Central and Eastern Europe, RETN</p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":"We spoke to Janos Matula, one of RETN’s leading experts in Central and Eastern European Wholesale Telecommunications.

If so, it's crucial not to forget about quality in your digital foundations. Expensive, slow, unreliable, or inflexible and you’ll be put at risk. These are all words that customers use when it comes to dealing with the suppliers that underpin their digital transformation strategies. RETN was formed to solve these problems and our success has come from eliminating them.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">In this piece, we interview three experts with substantial experience in high-bandwidth connectivity. They provide insights into what you should anticipate when engaging with a data network partner, ensuring a seamless progression on your transformation journey.</strong></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">Amy Bajer, Managing Director Poland&nbsp;and Central &amp; Eastern Europe, RETN:</strong></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">Looking beyond specific providers, industry trends are pushing for continual development and modernisation. Innovations like 400G technology and expansion into the most strategic Points of Presence (PoPs) are becoming industry standards. This reflects the growing demand for faster, more efficient network infrastructures that can support the digital transformation journey of organisations.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">Considering the global landscape, interconnections with various regions are paramount. Providers should offer strong links to regions that matter to your business, be it Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, or elsewhere. High cybersecurity standards are non-negotiable in today's threat environment, so ensure that your chosen provider prioritises security.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">The importance of selecting the right network connectivity partner cannot be overstated. Efficiency, agility, and responsiveness in your digital foundations are the keys to mitigating risks and supporting your organisation's growth. Whether you choose RETN or another provider, these considerations should guide your decision-making process.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">In conclusion, the selection of a network connectivity provider is a critical decision that impacts the very foundation of your digital infrastructure. Whether you choose RETN or another provider, these considerations - quality, local expertise, international reach, budget management, and security - should guide your decision-making process, ensuring that your digital foundations are efficient, agile, and responsive to your business needs.</span></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">Dariusz&nbsp;Antczak, Commercial Director&nbsp;Poland&nbsp;and Central &amp; Eastern Europe, RETN:</strong></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">For companies in Poland and beyond, leveraging an international provider is fundamental. This is particularly vital when it comes to internet access. Ensuring that your data doesn't traverse multiple networks between the source and destination is essential. The efficiency of this data path can be a key measure of your Network Service Provider's (NSP) performance. Selecting an international provider with a strong, well-connected network can significantly impact your data's journey and the quality of your connectivity.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">In my experience, it's crucial to assess a provider's approach to customers. Whether you're evaluating RETN or any other provider, consider factors such as their adaptability and the breadth of services offered. A provider with a range of services, from IP transit to colocation and cloud solutions, can cater to your evolving needs.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">Local infrastructure also matters. Providers with their infrastructure in key locations offer quicker, more agile services. A customised approach, tailored to your unique requirements, ensures that you're not boxed into standardised solutions. Furthermore, in today's dynamic business landscape, budget considerations are paramount. Seek a partner that can assist you not only in cost optimisation but also in fortifying your security measures. A provider that understands the importance of balancing budgetary constraints with robust security can help you navigate these challenges effectively.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">William Manzione, Product Manager, RETN:</strong></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">When selecting a network connectivity provider, the primary focus should always be on quality. It's vital not to overlook the quality of the digital foundations you're building. The efficiency, agility, and responsiveness of these foundations are critical to mitigating risks effectively. In my experience prioritising cost alone and opting for the cheapest provider can often lead to dissatisfaction, resulting in the need to cancel contracts and return to the market. It's crucial to ensure that your chosen provider has a reputation for availability and robust support, mitigating the risks associated with subpar service. Even more important is the ability of a network service provider to adjust to your rapidly growing needs in bandwidth or protection services or downsizing those if needed; flexibility and agility are crucial and we understand that better than any other operator on the market. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">One key consideration is the provider's network coverage. Look for a provider with a robust network that spans regions relevant to your operations. A network with a substantial share of traffic running through their own infrastructure provides greater control and security. Additionally, a widespread presence with numerous Points of Presence (PoPs) ensures reliability and redundancy.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(33, 33, 33);\">Consider a provider's local presence and expertise - having individuals who understand local processes is invaluable. These experts can navigate regional nuances, facilitating the smooth delivery of equipment and infrastructure deployment. For instance, at RETN, we understand the importance of local support and have dedicated procurement and logistics teams in place to streamline these critical processes. We replicate this model in various countries where we operate, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our clients.</span></p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":"Three experts, with substantial experience in high-bandwidth connectivity, provide insights into what you should anticipate when engaging with a data network partner, ensuring a seamless progression on your transformation journey."},{"slug":"RETN_Strengthens_Asian_Connectivity_with_Third_Hong_Kong_Singapore_Subsea_Route","date":1702252800,"event_date":1702252800,"title":"RETN Strengthens Asian Connectivity","type":"new","tags":[{"id":3,"name":"Network"},{"id":4,"name":"Company news"},{"id":5,"name":"Partnerships"}],"description":"<p>RETN, the international network service provider with unique capabilities to connect Europe and Asia, announces the deployment of its latest link connecting Hong Kong to Singapore via the APG subsea cable.</p>","picture":{"id":2336,"name":"New Hong Kong Singapore Route","original_name":"New Hong Kong Singapore Route.png","mime":"image/png","extension":"png","size":535181,"sort":0,"path":"news/","description":null,"alt":null,"hash":null,"disk":"public","user_id":2,"group":null,"document_name":null,"is_published":1,"file_lang":null,"is_storage":0,"created_at":"2023-12-11T10:38:53.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-12-11T10:38:53.000000Z","url":"https://retn.net/storage/news/New Hong Kong Singapore Route.png","relativeUrl":null},"more_title":"RETN Strengthens Asian Connectivity: Third Hong Kong-Singapore Subsea Route","more_description":"<p><strong style=\"color: black;\"><em>Hong Kong, London, Singapore - December 11, 2023</em></strong><em style=\"color: black;\"> - </em><a href=\"https://es.prsts.de/c/c1A/bRVx/kh3FyhMbPbGTQu5odA9beQ/AB3/s3z/F/0ff43d1a\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: rgb(97, 77, 255);\">RETN</a><span style=\"color: black;\">, the international network service provider with unique capabilities to connect Europe and Asia, announces the deployment of its latest link connecting Hong Kong to Singapore via the APG subsea cable.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=\"color: black;\">This marks a pivotal step in RETN's Asian connectivity, where customer centricity and the importance of redundancy and reliability play the central role.

Today <span style=\"color: black;\">the international network service provider RETN </span>introduces Last Mile over IP (LMoIP): an in-house solution, aiming to offer a simple and efficient option for customers that want to improve their network operations and infrastructure, without compromising scalability for future. LMoIP is introduced at Capacity Europe, the leading European telecoms conference. </p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t&nbsp;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\tWith RETN LMoIP customers have the option to leverage their existing Internet Access to interconnect with RETN Network Platform. Made possible by the installation of the RETN uCPE, this small hardware device is user installable and instantly provides access to the RETN network platform from the customer premises simply and securely. Customers can increase resiliency with backup options such as LTE/4G solutions, to provide assured business continuity.</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t&nbsp;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\tLMoIP main features:</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t· Zero Touch Configuration: service installation is simplified with no need of engineers on site. RETN will deliver the uCPE with simple instructions and, once connected to the transport(s) method, the device will download safely the service configuration;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t· Fast switchover on an Active/Backup topology: with this configuration, the failover is assured within seconds to allow business continuity;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t<span style=\"color: black;\">· IPv6 Support: full support on dual stack for IPv4 and IPv6;</span></p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t· Security: IP-Sec encryption ensures the safety of your data end-to-end;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t· Firewall Functions: stateful firewall functions are available on the uCPE.</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">&nbsp;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\tCustomers coming from a traditional, physical interconnection based solely on MPLS, will have experienced many limitations, like long delivery time, poor or non-existent flexibility for upgrades, lack of redundancy options amongst others. Most of these limitations happen due to local access circuits having multiple suppliers involved on a single: even if the customer is purchasing from, what seems to be a single provider, often there are two or more carriers involved. </p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t&nbsp;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\tLMoIP avoids these limitations. Resiliency and business continuity are assured when combined with additional services, such as LTE/4G or a traditional physical access service. LMoIP services can be installed in a matter of 1-2 working days with large cost savings over traditional physical access services, all the while providing full-service control and visibility. Last but not least LMoIP offers an easy way to connect to the extensive reach and connectivity of the RETN Network. </p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">“The RETN team has invested heavily in this solution, we’ve been improving features, updated solutions according to the changing market needs and now are happy to launch it and after a year of field testing with some very happy customers, we are delighted to launch the product for general availability this week. This product provides a game changing way for new and existing enterprise customers to gain access to the superior RETN network service and support we are renowned for.” – commented Tony O’Sullivan, the CEO. “RETN’s extensive network coverage all over Europe and Asia and it’s control of underlying DWDM and IP/MPLS infrastructure allows RETN to achieve one of the fastest customer service delivery schedules in the market whilst ensuring the backbone network is constantly upgraded to accommodate&nbsp;\tincreasing customer demand. Connected to the most important Internet Exchanges and Cloud Providers, RETN offers one of the most comprehensive connectivity solutions and constantly expands its product development to keep the pace of technology evolution and market drive. Now clients can enjoy benefits of our network by connecting to it with LMoIP”.</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t&nbsp;</p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t<span style=\"color: black;\">&nbsp;</span></p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t<strong style=\"color: black;\">About RETN</strong></p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t<span style=\"color: black;\">&nbsp;</span></p><p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\t<span style=\"color: black;\">RETN is one of the fastest growing independent Eurasian providers of IP transit and enterprise communications services, with unique resources to connect Europe and Asia.

First client for RETN’s IP transit services in the maincubes facility is a German managed services provider (MSP) from the Frankfurt area, <a href=\"https://efero.de/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">efero GmbH</a>.</p><p> </p><p>RETN operates its own end-to-end Eurasian network. With more than 300 network Points-of-Presence (PoPs) and 15 offices located across Europe, Russia and CIS markets, RETN has approximately 73,000KM of lit fiber available for the delivery of IP transit, Wavelengths, Ethernet/VPN, DDoS protection and other network connectivity services.</p><p> </p><p>As a European data center developer/operator, maincubes has its two large-scale facilities located at the Internet hubs of Frankfurt, Germany (maincubes FRA01) and Amsterdam, the Netherlands (maincubes AMS01). A third maincubes data center, maincubes FRA02, is currently planned for. The company equips its data centers with the highest redundancy features including 2N power setups and N+1 cooling designs, allowing them to uniquely offer 100% uptime SLAs. The RETN network PoP now deployed in the maincubes Frankfurt FRA01 data center adds to these redundancy attributes by establishing new, low-latency network routes into Eastern Europe, Russia and Asia while further enhancing network-path redundancy in these territories.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Eastern Europe – Poland and Russia</strong></p><p> </p><p>The first client for RETN’s newly created network PoP in the maincubes Frankfurt FRA01 data center is efero, a managed services provider (MSP) from Germany based in the Frankfurt region. The company already had a presence in maincubes FRA01 but needed stable IP transit services to Eastern Europe. “The network access to this region delivered by RETN meets and exceeds our expectations. It came with high-level switching capacity being delivered on schedule,” says Esra Fernau &nbsp;Managing Director at efero. “The uncomplicated personal approach and clear communication from both RETN and maincubes greatly supported us in meeting our network deployment goals. The experienced engineering professionals at the maincubes FRA01 data center were also of considerable help to us. In addition, we really appreciate the good price/performance ratio offered by RETN and maincubes.”</p><p> </p><p>As a technology-driven company with clients ranging from SMBs to enterprises, efero offers a wide portfolio of managed services including cloud, CRM/ERP integration, IT security, virtual voice solutions, and more. To learn more about efero GmbH, visit <a href=\"https://efero.de\">https://efero.de</a>.</p><p> </p><p>“Located at the Internet hub of Frankfurt, our FRA01 data center offers an extensive choice of networks while we’re continuously adding new network providers based on evolving customer demand,” says Antje Tauchmann, Head of Marketing at maincubes. “As a colocation provider, we’re able to offer highly secured network interconnection and hybrid cloud enabling services to MSPs and CSPs like efero. We’re also very flexible. The moment efero asked us for enhanced network access into countries like Poland and Russia, we didn’t hesitate to facilitate them and recommended RETN to accommodate their network needs. RETN has a remarkably extensive network coverage in Eastern Europe, and with the launch of their TRANSKZ terrestrial cable system in 2019, RETN became the only network provider able to deliver IP transit services through a fully owned, high-capacity and redundant terrestrial network from Western Europe all the way to the Kazakhstan/China border.”</p><p> </p><p>“Frankfurt is one of the main Internet hubs in the world and hence important to RETN. We are constantly looking into ways to extend our metro network there to support growing customer needs. Establishing a new RETN PoP at maincubes FRA01 was a logical choice for us, as maincubes is one of the most redundant, secured, high-tech and energy-efficient facilities with experienced engineers in the Frankfurt area,” says Mario Kohl, Managing Director at RETN GmbH. “This data center is not only home to MSPs like efero but also to DAX-listed companies from different industries, such as automotive, finance, manufacturing. These are companies requiring global connectivity with high interest in direct connections to hard-to-reach and developing markets, where RETN can be of service. We are unique in covering the CIS countries and Russia and providing redundant network paths between Europe and Asia, offering the same level of stability, support and quality of services in all territories our network crosses. Partnership with maincubes enables us to fulfil the needs of the customers in improved connectivity in the Frankfurt area as well as across the world in a most cost-effective and efficient way.”</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">###</p><p> </p><p><strong>About&nbsp;RETN</strong></p><p> </p><p>RETN&nbsp;is one of the fastest growing independent European providers of IP Transit and network services, now with a unique capability to connect Europe and Asia.

The extension of transit routes running through the territory of Belarus has become one of the key strategic pillars to achieve this goal,” states Vladimir Taran, Director of Business Development at RETN. “The Republic of Belarus is beneficially located in Eastern Europe, which allows us to build the shortest transit paths for international traffic transport from Asia to Europe and in the opposite direction. Our new DWDM route is one of the key segments of the “Central Way” on the <a href=\"/slider/transkz-the-retn-eurasian-way/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TRANSKZ network</a> linking all major locations in Europe to Central and East Asia across a single network.”</p><p> </p><p>Andrey Soborov, Acting Director at RETN in Belarus comments: “Due to the agreements achieved with our partner, RUE “Beltelecom”, the new transit route enables n x 100 Gbps high bandwidth connectivity for transport of European and Asian traffic between Russia and Eastern Europe. The network segment is built using Infinera’s DWDM equipment and allows to transfer a large amount of data with a minimal delay. LTD from Moscow to Minsk is 9.99 ms, and from Moscow to Frankfurt (via Berlin) – 32.3 ms”.</p><p> </p><p>Sergey Turomsha, Deputy Director General of Commercial Affairs at RUE “Beltelecom”, comments: “International cooperation is one of the most important areas of our company’s business development. We are delighted to have successfully launched the fiber-optic route – the project that shows the advantage of the Republic of Belarus as a transit country between East and West. We are glad to have this competed in cooperation with RETN, one of the leading European providers, well-established in the international connectivity market.”</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">###</p><p> </p><p><strong>About Beltelecom</strong></p><p> </p><p>The Republican Unitary Enterprise&nbsp;Beltelecom is the leading telecommunication company with a long history, the personnel of which provides and develops communication technologies important for the state, society, private and corporate customers.

The new terrestrial solution connecting Europe and Asia provides the first true alternative to existing subsea cable systems. Enhanced with the latest-generation equipment, the high-performance network supports three diverse paths of similar lengths from Europe to the border of China via Kazakhstan in partnership with Transtelecom JSC, and offers low-latency and high-capacity services linking all major locations in commercial and financial hubs between Europe and Asia.</p><p> </p><p>RETN is one of the fastest-growing independent European providers of Internet transit and connectivity services. It is the only provider that operates its own end-to-end Eurasian network of unique geographical coverage. Stretching between North America and Asia, the RETN network offers differentiated terrestrial connectivity between major markets: Western Europe, Central Eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States countries, Russia, and Kazakhstan, running onward to the Chinese border.</p><p> </p><p>The speed and flexibility of deployment and monitoring provided by Infinera are key factors in facilitating exceptional long-haul network performance. The ease of deploying network services with Infinera’s ICE4-based platform enables RETN to quickly deliver reliable, high-speed, low-latency 100G services to meet the ever-increasing demands of global enterprises, as well as international carriers, internet service providers, and content providers.</p><p> </p><p>The TRANSKZ network stretches across a diverse terrain of more than 15,000 kilometers and interconnects critical markets which are currently underserved territories across the route. Working closely with Infinera, RETN completed the final 4,000 kilometers of the main route in Kazakhstan and deployed services on the long-distance network in less than 30 days, accelerating time to revenue.</p><p> </p><p>“Our network segment from Kazakhstan to the border of China, which we upgraded earlier in 2019 to complete the TRANSKZ network, experiences harsh weather conditions. We also anticipated other potential issues we’ve had to face working in these challenging territories. So, we needed to find the right solution, combined with the technical expertise of RETN engineers, the local partner, and the vendor, to ensure RETN received superior network performance,” said Tony O’Sullivan, COO at RETN. “The Infinera team provided us with the best solution to meet our needs while working closely with our team throughout the entire network deployment. Many years of cooperation have proven Infinera’s solutions to be highly reliable and operate successfully through harsh environmental conditions along very long routes.”</p><p> </p><p>“We are delighted to support RETN with the upgrade of TRANSKZ as they continue to find innovative ways for their customers to meet growing volumes of data coming to and from Europe, China, and beyond,” said Bob Jandro, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales at Infinera. “With Infinera’s portfolio, network service providers like RETN are set up for success with solutions that are reliable, agile, and scalable to support the bandwidth increases that customers demand.”</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">###</p><p> </p><p><strong>About Infinera</strong></p><p> </p><p>Infinera is a global supplier of innovative networking solutions that enable carriers, cloud operators, governments, and enterprises to scale network bandwidth, accelerate service innovation, and automate network operations.

Over the last 12 months we have added additional PoPs in Seoul, Hong Kong and Singapore. The new PoPs in Taipei and Tokyo open up new markets, enhancing connectivity in general, provide more termination points for existing customers and allow new customers to experience RETN services first hand. There is a lot more to be announced about our plans for network and business development in Asia and Asia Pacific in 2019.

RETN expects the strategic location of Datacenter.com AMS1 as well as its enterprise-grade and cloud-ready amenities to be an attractive colocation environment for international enterprises, cloud service providers (CSPs), and online gaming providers alike.</em></p><p> </p><p>With extensive network coverage in Europe including CEE countries, CIS countries and Russia, RETN has expanded its international network across Asia and North America during the last couple of years. As part of continued commitment to the expansion of its operations in Europe, RETN opened its regional Benelux offices in Amsterdam in 2017. The plans announced today to establish a new PoP in Datacenter.com’s Amsterdam AMS1 colocation facility provides RETN with expanded connectivity options in the Amsterdam market and beyond.</p><p> </p><p>“Amsterdam is most important to RETN,” said <strong>Tony O’Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at RETN, based in Hong Kong</strong>. “The Dutch capital is one of the largest Internet hubs in the world, attracting companies from a wide variety of business sectors who wish to increase their connectivity in a stable, business friendly regulatory environment. RETN is present in all major data centers in Amsterdam. This cooperation with Datacenter.com is a logical step, as it is strategically located at one of the best-connected areas in Europe in the Amsterdam Southeast business district and is distinguished by its unique and highly energy-efficient architecture. I have no doubt their facility will attract customers that will appreciate RETN’s unique capabilities to connect the West with the East. Likewise, RETN’s customers expect industry leading facilities such as Datacenter.com AMS1 to be on-net. We are extremely excited about the addition of this data center to our network.”</p><p> </p><p>Part of a planned targeted global roll-out of large-scale colocation data centers, Datacenter.com’s Amsterdam facility features a unique Indirect Adiabatic Cooling setup with a calculated energy-efficient pPUE figure of 1.04 – recently awarded with a Datacloud Europe 2018 nomination. Cloud-ready features include large cabinets (54U, 11kW+), as well as month-to-month flexible contracts. The modular cooling infrastructure in this facility is located directly under the cabinets with hot aisle setup, under the raised floor with a height of 4.7 meters.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Connectivity Datacenter.com AMS1</strong></p><p> </p><p>The announcement of RETN planning to deploy a network PoP in this 54,000 sq. ft. Amsterdam AMS1 colocation facility adds to Datacenter.com’s ability to meet high redundancy and high volume bandwidth needs set by cloud providers, enterprises, online gaming providers, and other customers with demanding network requirements.</p><p> </p><p>“The RETN PoP will significantly expand our global connectivity ecosystem and network services offerings in Amsterdam, especially when it comes to our reach into Eastern Europe and Russia,” said <strong>Jochem Steman, CEO of Datacenter.com</strong>. “RETN has a heavy network coverage and data center footprint in these areas while they also have an extensive metro fiber network, with all major Eastern European and Western European cities being connected.”</p><p> </p><p>With the launch of the TRANSKZ cable system in 2016, RETN started to provide connectivity into Asia (Hong Kong) across its own network. “Our network coverage is unique in the worldwide market,” added <strong>Mr. O’Sullivan.</strong> “RETN is the only European provider to deliver a fully owned high-speed terrestrial connectivity solution between Amsterdam and the Kazakhstan/China border, a solution that’s fully protected. For Datacenter.com customers it means that RETN can deliver them reliable, low latency IP Transit, Layer 1 and Layer 2 services from Amsterdam to Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, and beyond in Asia.”</p><p> </p><p><em>The announcement follows the news that Datacenter.com’s AMS1 data center got nominated by Datacloud Europe under the ‘Excellence in Data Centre Architecture and Design’ award category.

The new IP-route is running on Juniper equipment and enables us to deliver IP-transit and MPLS/VPN services to a wide range of international customers.

The addition of RETN’s PoPs in Marseille and Madrid will mean our community of customers in those cities will now benefit from RETN’s international network, and in particular their extensive reach into Eastern Europe and Russia,” said Mike Hollands, Director of Market Development &amp; Strategy, Interxion.</p><p> </p><p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\">###</p><p> </p><p class=\"p1\"><strong>About RETN</strong></p><p> </p><p class=\"p1\">RETN is an international network service provider offering a range of services across its own fibre-optic network to carriers, ISPs, large enterprises, CDNs, governmental organisations, Hosting and Cloud Providers.

Where the Swiss military built one if it’s primary control and command centres, data and systems now find the ultimate in security and stability. Alongside physical security DELTALIS benefits from 100% renewable energy produced in local Hydro-Electric generation facilities and has 700 cubic metres of mountain water for primary cooling. This provides an environmentally friendly location that is also able to scale to the increasing demand for power density in Datacentres.</p><p> </p><p>The DELTALIS proposition is further enhanced with a multilayer security concept (including full EMP protection), full redundancy and strong IP and IX connectivity from international carriers. In its 10.000 m2 facility, DELTALIS provides the highest degree of flexibility and scalability in Datacentre services, from rack space in open colocation areas to hundreds of square meters of space in dedicated suites.

The three recently announced PoPs in Bucharest, Belgrade and Sofia are interlinked and directly connected to the PoPs in Budapest and Vienna by 10G routes forming a ring. The new routes enable direct connection of the three largest countries on the Balkan peninsula with the rest of Europe where RETN operates.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Andy Bills, Executive Vice President Sales &amp; Marketing at RETN, the network extension to the Balkan region is one of the company’s main investments in 2016: “RETN has already built up a significant presence in the eastern part of Europe, primarily due to its unique geographical coverage in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. This year we are focusing on further expansion of RETN’s network in Eastern Europe”, said Andy Bills. “With regards to the Balkans, we believe that RETN will make a considerable contribution to the development of the wholesale market in the region, and we count on our sustainable growth there. The network development is intended to support the needs of customers in Southeast Europe who require &nbsp;high quality and reliable connectivity with the whole of Europe, and vice versa. RETN will offer the same service portfolio and level of support in the Balkans as across the rest of its network – IP transit, connectivity services and remote peering to major IX’s. We will stick to the same standard of service provision, staying as flexible, fast and reliable as we are for our customers in other regions.”</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>If you wish to learn more about any recent developments or services across the RETN network, meet the RETN team at Capacity conferences in the coming months: Capacity Balkans, ITW and Capacity CEE 2016.

The optical fiber is laid by SJSC “Latvia State Radio and Television Centre” (LVRTC). This section may truly be considered as one of the most important links in consolidation of telecommunications infrastructures of the Baltic countries that RETN’s backbone network is crossing. Due to the completion of this section, in January 2015 the international backbone operator RETN put into operation a trans-Baltic route stretching from Finland to Poland and passing through the cities of the Baltic states (Tallinn-Riga-Kaunas). The launched route utilises the latest Infinera WDM equipment based on 500G super-channel technology and has a bandwidth of 8 Tbps.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">“Cooperation with LVRTC made a noticeable contribution to the realization of the trans-Baltic route project which provided direct path for traffic between northern and southern Europe. The work done by LVRTC is an essential step in the informational fusion of the Baltic countries. Exploitation of this route for Internet traffic and data transmission will expand economic and cultural possibilities of the Baltic region,” stated Leonid Shuralev, Director of RETN Baltic. “We’d also like to stress innovative methods in LVRTC’s work. During our cooperation all the agreements between RETN Baltic and LVRTC were signed distantly with the help of digital electronic signature.”</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">„LVRTC began working on the development of the optical backbone network already more than five years ago, yet the actual construction works started only in 2013. The principal goals of the project were and still are to build an available and open infrastructure for data transmission in Latvia for electronic communication service providers and to connect the towers owned by LVRTC with an optical cable thus providing a long-term use of the investment made before by LVRTC. Another goal of the optical backbone network was to expand the range of services provided by the company to local and international operators. The RETN network is one of the widest networks in the Baltic region and even in the world which is owned and directly managed by a single operator. It extends from Asia to the USA and has a powerful coverage in the Eastern- and Western Europe. The connection of the optical Riga–Valga channel to the RETN network is a significant stage in creating a secure and fast connectivity between the Baltics and the global Internet. The cooperation of LVRTC and RETN shows the importance of an open and available transit data transmission backbone network through Latvia for international operators to provide the integration of the Baltic countries in the modern informational space so that customers can contact any European and Asian country without difficulties,” emphasized Jānis Bokta, the Chairman of the LVRTC Board.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">###</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>About LVRTC</em></strong></p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LVRTC is the leading service provider of infrastructure for electronic communications, providing quality and secure telecommunication solutions to the most significant operators of mobile, internet, and telecommunications, as well as to state institutions.

This is the first time RETN has connected the European part of Russia with the main traffic exchange points of Europe with two diverse routes, across Scandinavia and across the Ukraine. Having spent about 40 Million Euro over four years, RETN has built not only the most powerful cross-border data transmission infrastructure in Russia, but also one of the longest and highest capacity DWDM rings in Europe.</p><p> </p><p><br></p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The RETN optical network follows a route connecting: Moscow – Saint-Petersburg – Helsinki – Stockholm – Copenhagen – Hamburg – Amsterdam – Frankfurt – Munich – Vienna –Bratislava – Budapest – Uzhgorod – Lvov – Kiev – Kharkov – Belgorod – Voronezh – Lipetsk – Tula – Moscow with a branch to London. The RETN DWDM optical network enables transmission of large volumes of data traffic today and is scalable to support the constant increase of data traffic. The total length of the RETN optical network includes 4,000 km in Russia and 8,000 km in the countries of Northern, Eastern, Central and Western Europe.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total capacity of the RETN network, which has become the leading link for Russian and world telecommunications networks, between Russia and Europe is 1200 Gbps in the current configuration including two independent routes of 400 Gbps each across Finland and one route of 400 Gbps across the Ukraine. The network is built on the basis of DWDM equipment produced by Infinera (USA) and consists of 126 hubs. The same equipment is used for the optical networks of many leading international core network operators. In Russia and the Ukraine, RETN was the first to certify and deploy Infinera’s high-performance equipment for DWDM networks.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The RETN network is a core infrastructure, providing transit of Internet traffic for many Russian and international leaders of the Internet industry. More than 1200 line operators and telehouses of the USA, Europe and the CIS are connected to the network. The IP network of RETN is among the leading networks of the world in terms of connectivity and in terms of the number of points of traffic exchange. The RETN network has become the most important cross-border thoroughfare of&nbsp; Russian Internet. Currently about 15% of Russian Internet traffic passes through the RETN network.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CEO of&nbsp; RETN, Dmitry Samarin, stated: “Termination of the&nbsp;construction of our pan-European DWDM ring is an important, though intermediate, stage of RETN’s development. The next plans include the construction of a second ring to backup the network’s separate parts. Secondly, it is necessary to expand continuously the geography and reach of the network, which means that further DWDM branches will be constructed in Russia, the Ukraine and Europe. Thirdly, the RETN backbone infrastructure will be constantly upgraded for increase of its throughput capacity. We suppose that in the near future the current rate of traffic growth on our network of more than 300% annually will continue”.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About RETN</strong></p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The RETN telecommunications data transmission network was founded in 2002.

Internet traffic soared an estimated 56% in 2007 worldwide, and is expected to further increase at around the same rate in 2008 and 2009. Growth is even faster in the RETN IP network, where traffic nearly triples every year.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a way to proactively anticipate traffic growth, the core of the RETN IP trunk network has been switched to Juniper MX routers. The IP network core currently uses 6 Juniper MX routers: in Moscow, St.-Petersburg, Stockholm, Amsterdam, New York and Ashburn (Washington DC).</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Juniper MX960 is the most powerful industrial platform around, capable of switching and routing IP traffic flows at speeds as high as 960 Gbps. In addition to providing extremely powerful switching and routing facilities, the MX series supports high-speed interfaces for a variety of services, including high-speed transmission, VPN services, and inter-network communication with huge volumes of traffic. Juniper MX cuts the relative costs, but improves earnings from the use of the platform, minimizing the cost of services without any&nbsp;detriment to quality. RETN has been able to leverage this as a competitive advantage in the inter-operator marketplace.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The base topology in RETN are multiple rings. As routing facilities are upgraded, so&nbsp;are inter-nodal channels: their throughput band has been brought up to 20 Gbps. There will be 12 Juniper MX routers in the network by the end of 2008. New nodes are about to be launched in Europe and North America before year-end. The inter-nodal links in the core of the RETN IP network will soon be upgraded to 40 Gbps. RETN upgrades and expansion will not overlook Russia and Ukraine, where traffic is now behind Europe or North America, but growing much faster.</p><p> </p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At key destinations, RETN’s DWDM network is now capable of carrying traffic at a rate of 100 Gbps, but&nbsp;can be further upgraded to 4х10х10 Gbps. RETN’s policy is to upgrade its DWDM network proactively so as to remain an aggressive player in the inter-operator broadband market. RETN has chosen Infinera optic systems as its line management DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) solution. While slashing networks rollout time, Infinera cuts the costs of upgrades, which are unavoidable, and minimizes service delivery.</p><p> \t</p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":""},{"slug":"a-new-node-has-gone-into-commercial-operation-in-paris-telehouse-boulevard-voltaire-75011-paris-with-a-throughput-capacity-of-8-d1-8510-gbs","date":1213488000,"event_date":1213498800,"title":"New node in Paris","type":"new","tags":[{"id":3,"name":"Network"}],"description":"A new node has gone into commercial operation in Paris (Telehouse, Boulevard Voltaire, 75011 Paris) with a throughput capacity of 8х10 Gbps.","picture":null,"more_title":"New node in Paris","more_description":"<p>  \t\t</p><p>A new node&nbsp;has gone&nbsp;into commercial operation in Paris (Telehouse, Boulevard Voltaire, 75011 Paris) with a throughput capacity of 8х10 Gbps.</p><p> \t</p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":""},{"slug":"retn-has-upgraded-its-linx-london-internet-exchange-hookup-from-2-gbs-to-10-gbs","date":1212105600,"event_date":1212116400,"title":"LINX hookup upgrade","type":"new","tags":[{"id":3,"name":"Network"}],"description":"RETN has upgraded its LINX (London Internet eXchange) hookup from 2 Gbps to 10 Gbps.","picture":null,"more_title":"LINX hookup upgrade","more_description":"<p>  \t\t</p><p>RETN has upgraded its LINX (London Internet eXchange) hookup from 2 Gbps to 10 Gbps.</p><p> \t</p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":""},{"slug":"retn-selects-infinera-for-russian-optical-network-upgrade-press-release","date":1206921600,"event_date":1206932400,"title":"RUSSIAN OPTICAL NETWORK UPGRADE WITH INFINERA","type":"new","tags":[{"id":3,"name":"Network"}],"description":"RETN, a leading Russian wholesale telecom carrier, has  chosen the Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN) Digital Optical Networking system for the modernization..","picture":null,"more_title":"RUSSIAN OPTICAL NETWORK UPGRADE WITH INFINERA","more_description":"<p>  \t\t</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">RETN, a leading Russian wholesale telecom carrier, has&nbsp; chosen the Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN) Digital Optical Networking system for the&nbsp;modernization and upgrade of its national backbone network, and for the construction of a new Pan-European transmission ring.

They include ISPs and content delivery service providers (CDSPs) from the UK, mainland Europe, the USA and the Far East.</p><p> </p><p>RETN is also offering other Russian ISPs the opportunity to use its network to obtain a secure ‘virtual’ presence at the LINX exchange under an innovative ‘LINX from Anywhere’ service.</p><p> </p><p>LINX sales and marketing manager Vanessa Evans said: “RETN has been expanding its network and building traffic volumes rapidly over recent months. Membership of LINX is a logical strategic development that gives the company a massive expansion in its global connections and the ability to exchange traffic much more efficiently.”</p><p> </p><p>Olga Sherstneva from RETN added: “Joining LINX is a further stage in ReTN’s strategy to be an active and innovative company that provides high quality services at competitive prices across the full range of voice, data, Internet and other telecommunication services.”</p><p> </p><p>Earlier this year (January 2004) ReTN opened a second discrete route between Moscow and London, providing total carrying capacity of 1,244 megabytes per second (Mbs) and providing onward connections to New York.</p><p> </p><p>LINX membership now gives RETN access to more than 50 per cent of world Internet routes.</p><p> </p><p>LINX, a mutual not-for-profit organisation, maintains high capacity Internet switches where commercial competitors can exchange Internet data, known as ‘peering’, thus reducing costs and transmission times. LINX is Europe’s largest Internet exchange with peak volumes now approaching 40 gigabits per second. It handles around 90 per cent of all UK Internet traffic.</p><p> </p><p>LINX from Anywhere, launched in November 2003, allows smaller ISPs to have a secure ‘virtual’ presence on the LINX exchange without investing in the hardware and manpower costs of maintaining their own Internet switch in London. The service is available via the networks of existing LINX members in 40 northern hemisphere countries.

Rather than abstract theory, his talk focused on practical steps network teams can take today to reduce customer impact when a cable fault happens.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Key takeaways</p><ul><li><strong>Use diverse physical routes.</strong>&nbsp;Relying on a single subsea system - or on cables that share the same physical route - creates single points of failure. Szabi urged operators to combine geographically separated subsea systems with alternative landings and terrestrial paths.</li><li><strong>Be ready to re-engineer routes quickly.</strong>&nbsp;Good telemetry and pre-agreed playbooks for BGP changes, prefix rehoming and capacity shifts let teams respond fast rather than scrambling.</li><li><strong>Improve cross-industry coordination.</strong>&nbsp;Faster information-sharing between carriers, cable operators, IXPs and vendors shortens repair windows and helps operators make better real-time decisions.</li><li><strong>Invest in better monitoring and peering intelligence.</strong>&nbsp;Early warning from subsea telemetry plus smarter peering strategies gives operators more practical options for rebalancing traffic and protecting SLAs.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why it matters:</p><p><br></p><p>RONOG gathers regional operators who sit at key interconnection points between Europe and Asia - the very places where routing choices translate immediately into customer experience. Szabi’s talk linked global subsea incidents to the everyday routing and peering decisions that network engineers make, and made the case that resilience is built from both long-haul planning and quick, well-practised operational responses.&nbsp;</p>","more_pictures":[],"link":"","meta_description":""}]}}},"__N_SSG":true}
