Manama-IX now offers Private Network Interconnects

Private Network Interconnects (PNIs) are direct private point-to-point connections between networks, allowing them to exchange traffic separate from the public Internet. Customers choose for a PNI when they have allocated specific services or requirements to these connections. Moreover, the private nature of the connections can offer an extra layer of security.

With more than 400GE of peak traffic and twenty connected networks, Manama-IX is a leading Internet Exchange in the Middle East region and a hub for Internet traffic. The exchange was launched by Batelco in 2019 with the help of AMS-IX, offering public peering for Internet customers in the Global Zone region. Since the launch, AMS-IX and Batelco have worked to extend the service offerings of the exchange.
