RETN sets up new PoPs in Seoul to expand its global network footprint

Hong Kong, 10 January 2018 – International network service provider RETN announced the launch of two new PoPs in Seoul, one of the leading business and financial hubs of East Asia.

A Korean presence further expands RETN’s global network footprint in Asia where RETN has PoPs deployed in Hong Kong and Tokyo and a well-established operational office – RETN Hong Kong. By building out the global network infrastructure, while scaling and improving the network throughout Europe and Russia, RETN provides a geographically unique one-stop shop connectivity solution designed to meet each customer’s individual request.

The 2 new PoPs, located in Dogok IDC and Gasan Data Center, are directly interconnected to RETN’s IP/MPLS backbone via Hong Kong and Japan using Juniper MX series equipment.

“With the launch of our TRANSKZ route in 2016, we started to provide connectivity to Asia (Hong Kong) across our own network. Further network development in the West focused upon the needs of our Asian clients supports our growing role as the European Network of Choice for international companies based in Asian countries or customers with business interests in the region,” said Tony O’Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer at RETN, based in Hong Kong. “Our new PoPs in Seoul are up and running now, and by the end of February we expect to announce further extensive achievements about our network development in the region, providing RETN services to a vastly increased geographical base,” – concluded Tony O’Sullivan.
