A gateway to Europe, a gateway to the world

Portugal has been highlighted as a destination of opportunity for business investment, education, lifestyle, and leisure. Reported growth rates in these segments together with a favorable fiscal investment and regulatory environment all seem to support this. With European countries racing to advance their digital footprint, a closer look into Portugal’s digital infrastructure development reveals a country positioned to become a new global interconnection hub for Internet data flows.

The study “Portugal: A Global Interconnection Hub, a Gateway to Europe, a Gateway to the World” identifies key elements common to prominent and thriving interconnection hubs, providing a benchmark for evaluating Portugal’s role in current and future international and intercontinental Internet data flows.

The interplay of diversifying routes and peering markets

The global interconnection environment is in the midst of dynamic growth phase. A new breed of cable builders is spearheading a surge in submarine cable deployments, and peering ecosystems around the world are reaching recordbreaking traffic levels.

The length of new submarine cable deployed in 2017 was unmatched in any year since the end of the previous market boom in 2001, with more than 74,000 kilometers of fiber laid. The pace of subsea cable development
could accelerate even further over the next three years, with as many as 74 systems totaling more than 300,000 kilometers in length and worth an estimated $8.8 billion tentatively slated to launch across all major subsea routes.

What is driving all this development? Are fundamental shifts taking place in how networks are deployed? More specifically, can we see a correlation between the development of new routes and where networks are ultimately going to peer?

DE-CIX has commissioned TeleGeography to assess the correlations between the growing subsea cable market and the global market for network interconnection. We will do so by delving into several topics: determining the core drivers of subsea supply and demand, exploring the route priorities of the new cable builders, determining which nodes are growing as interconnection markets, and evaluating cases of specific markets to see if subsea network and interconnection market development go hand-in-hand. In so doing, we hope to provide a clearer sense of the critical synergy shared by the subsea cable and peering markets, while exploring the complexity inherent in determining exactly how strongly these markets correlate.

Singapore is undisputedly the network hub of Southeast Asia. That is not likely to change anytime soon. But changes are brewing in the region. International operators are injecting fresh network investment into new locations, setting the stage to distribute new aggregation points across the region.

DE-CIX has commissioned TeleGeography to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the Southeast Asian market, scrutinizing Singapore’s role as the market hub and analyzing frontier markets in the region to see where new, increasingly localized interconnection ecosystems could flourish. Our new white paper “New interconnection markets in Southeast Asia” will specifically look at the potential for new connectivity ecosystems in five of the region’s metropolitan areas: Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Manila, and Hanoi.
