Presence at IXcellerate Moscow One makes our network even more attractive and available to our clients,” says Ilya Nikishin, CTO RETN.
 
“Combining RETN’s pan-European cross-border optic network with IXcellerate Moscow One’s reliable infrastructure, allows both of our clients to be better served,” commentsGuy Willner, CEO of IXcellerate.
