Why Istanbul
Terrestrial routes between Europe and the Middle East converge on Istanbul, so packets that would otherwise detour through Frankfurt can turn here instead. This is an edge site in a partner facility, chosen for position rather than capacity.
How Istanbul is connected
DE-CIX Istanbul anchors carrier-neutral peering in the city, and the domestic market is large enough that local eyeball networks are reachable without leaving the country. Mediterranean subsea systems land on Turkey's southern coast and backhaul north, while terrestrial fibre runs west into the Balkans and east towards the Caucasus.
What IST1 is good at
- 01Reaching Turkish eyeball networks directly
- 02Europe to Middle East transit hops
- 03Regional edge for Caucasus routing
