Manama, Bahrain: Batelco has announced that Manama-IX (mn-ix), the carrier neutral internet traffic exchange platform, located in the Kingdom of Bahrain, is ready to welcome businesses who wish to avail of the opportunity to interconnect with local, regional and global networks through its integrated platform.

The launch plan of Manama-IX (mn-ix) was announced earlier this year, following the signing of a partnership agreement between Batelco and AMS-IX, the world’s leading Internet Exchange.

“The platform is now open for business and we have been delighted with the response so far with a number of leading industry players already on board.
