Integration with European and Global Networks
Part of GNM’s European backbone, the Budapest PoP offers low-latency connections to hubs in Bratislava and Sofia, improving access for Hungarian telecom companies to European content and global networks while reducing reliance on third-party transit providers. It also facilitates integration with cloud platforms, content providers, and international carriers, ensuring stable traffic flows and superior data exchange.
Looking ahead, GNM plans to expand its backbone and establish new PoPs in Central Europe to strengthen network coverage and provide businesses with digital infrastructure.
