Partnership expands to 39 sites across the US and Europe
Telia Carrier announced that it has added a new Point of Presence (PoP) at Digital Realty’s campus in Richardson, TX in order to provide a broader reach within Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL, a first of its kind global data center platform for scaling digital businesses for customers throughout the US and into Europe. The recent addition in Richardson is the latest in a six-month expansion with Digital Realty data centers with PoPs established in Los Angeles, CA and Chicago, IL. These sites provide customers more options to directly connect to Telia Carrier’s number one Internet backbone (AS1299), reducing the need to backhaul traffic, and improve latency.
