TINet’s traffic surges as it joins Arbinet’s data on thexchange

Cagliari, 26th June 2006 - Tiscali International Network (TINet) is now a key Tier-1 IP Transit seller on Arbinet’s data on thexchangeSM in London.

TINet has recorded a three-fold rise in traffic sold on thexchange since Arbinet migrated TINet onto its intelligent data trading platform in March 2006. Prior to that TINet was a top seller in network statistics for European transit on Band-X’s IP exchange, which Arbinet acquired in September 2004.

Paolo Gambini, Marketing and Business Development director at TINet commented, “ We are delighted to be one of Arbinet’s key selling Members. Arbinet’s platform helps us reach a larger number of potential customers with a strong value proposition. Since buyers on thexchange select suppliers based on reliability, performance and price data, measured from actual performance, our success is daily confirmation of TINet’s high standard of quality and sound business model.”

Paul Brown, Arbinet Vice President Sales for data on thexchange, remarked, “ TINet's unique IP routes have enhanced the value of our SelectIP and PrimeIP services, which enable buying Members to directly peer with TINet's ASN or buy full transit for managed multihoming via thexchange, respectively. TINET's wide Internet reachability and regional eyeball routes also add value to Arbinet's OptimizedIP service, which delivers optimized routing for our buyers' traffic based on each seller’s route performance.”

TINet also boasts 10 Gig Ethernet capabilities to support its customers’ ever growing needs for high volume IP transit, as only a handful of carriers are able to offer this facility all over their network footprint. TINet’s network is able to run IPv4, IPv6, MPLS and VoIP over the same infrastructure making it truly a multiservice network.
