Grid Telecom and Lamda Hellix announce the addition of a central, protected point of presence (POP) of Grid Telecom at the Carrier-Neutral Data Center Campus of Lamda Hellix.
Grid Telecom, as a subsidiary of IPTO, is responsible for an extended 3000 km long fiber-optic network throughout Greece. Fiber optic cables are installed along high voltage pylons, ensuring a high level of service availability. At the same time, cross-border and submarine fiber-optic networks are constantly being expanded through IPTO’s interconnections, inside and outside the country. Grid Telecom provides dark fiber services to telecom providers, offering them the opportunity to deploy their own fully protected network through diverse routes, whereas soon it will make available capacity services (10 to 100 Gbps) via the state-of-the-art DWDM network it is developing.
Lamda Hellix, as one of the largest neutral data center providers in SE Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, guarantees the smooth and uninterrupted operation of Grid Telecom’s central hub providing full and free access to the extended ecosystem of national and international providers hosted at its Tier III & LEED Gold certified Data Center Campus. Through this cooperation, the rich ecosystem of customers and providers of Lamda Hellix acquires direct access to one of the largest fiber-optic networks in Greece, with additional wide range quality options.
George Psyrris, Managing Director of Grid Telecom, commented: “The new Point of Presence of Grid Telecom at the Lamda Hellix Data Center Campus is of strategic importance for the company, not only because it is a safe and reliable environment for the expansion of our services but also due to the potential synergies that may arise from this cooperation. The high-standards of Grid Telecom and Lamda Hellix services lay the foundations for achieving our common strategic goal of attracting major international telecom providers.”
Alexandros Bechrakis, Chief Commercial & Technology Officer of Lamda Hellix, stated: “GRID Telecom is changing the telecommunications landscape in Greece, during a period when our country is attracting a lot of interest from large international telecom providers, cloud and CDN network providers, and the anticipated significant increase in domestic telecom needs due to technological developments such as the Cloud, 5G and NGA. Lamda Hellix, thanks to this strategic partnership, further enhances the interconnection services it offers, by making the Athens Data Center Campus the major digital interconnection hub in the broader region”.
