RETN Expands Middle East Connectivity

Dubai and London – July 31 RETN, the leading independent global network services provider, is pleased to announce the opening of its new Point of Presence (PoP) in Dubai, marking the company’s first significant expansion into the Middle East. This strategic move further strengthens RETN's network, enhancing connectivity between Europe and Asia.


The Dubai Point of Presence, situated in Dubai Production City’s Equinix DX1, is connected via subsea cables to Marseille and via a terrestrial route to Istanbul. Utilising a terrestrial connection enhances network diversity and stability by mitigating the common challenges associated with relying solely on subsea connections, such as multiple fiber cuts and prolonged repair times.


This development is a direct response to the increasing demand from enterprise customers seeking highly reliable, low latency, and secure connections between their operations in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.


Tony O’Sullivan, CEO of RETN, said, “Dubai's strategic location and investment in state-of-the-art infrastructure make it an ideal hub for RETN to enhance global connectivity. With diverse routes and a thriving business ecosystem, our new PoP in Dubai ensures seamless, reliable connectivity solutions for enterprises bridging Europe, Asia, and beyond.”
