European-based carriers Exponential-e, Hibernia Atlantic and Tinet have signed up to take part in the Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange platform, bringing to nine the total number of participants.
The platform is a development program to define enhanced solutions for the exchange of data traffic between carriers providing Ethernet services.
This will establish a platform for multi-provider carrier Ethernet interconnection that meets Metro Ethernet Forum standards.
