Network PoP in Focus: Bucharest

The city is home to very large enterprises and some of the biggest publishers the game industry has to offer, which gives rise to low-latency network needs. Bucharest also has a large presence of gamers, with the use of popular free-to-play (F2P) and first-person shooter (FPS) titles particularly large scale in the region.

Bucharest’s southeastern location in Europe has been victim to the lack of connectivity options in the past. Most network operators relied on a high-latency route that doubles back to Frankfurt to reach neighboring countries, greatly increasing the distance through which data had to travel.
