[Stockholm, Sweden, June 28, 2019] During the ISP Summit Pan-Europe 2019 held in Stockholm, Sweden, the Slovak telecommunications company Energotel and Huawei jointly announced in-depth cooperation to build premium international leased line networks.
Service cloudification has been driving growth. It is estimated by Telegeography that the pan-European international traffic will exceed 4000T by 2022. The pan-European international traffic growth rate of content providers (mainly OTT and cloud service providers) is expected to exceed 50% annually, and the European region is the international area with the heaviest traffic. Cloud service providers and Internet companies are investing heavily in global data centers, driving traffic growth between pan-European DCIs. At the same time, Europe is becoming more deeply integrated, and political, economic, and tourism information exchanges are increasingly frequent. This is driving a traffic increase in cross-border mobile roaming settlements. Slovakia is a country in Central Europe, As the central gateway connecting Eastern Europe and Western Europe, Slovakia transmits high volumes of international traffic.
