CDNetworks to Double its Investment in Middle East Infra

CDNetworks, the APAC-leading network to deliver edge as a service, has announced a strategic initiative that will double its 2024 infrastructure investment in the Middle East to drive digital transformation.

This initiative will significantly expand Points of Presence (PoPs), double bandwidth capacity, and add anti-DDoS scrubbing centers, enhancing the digital landscape. The announcement coincides with CDNetworks' debut at the GISEC 2024, highlighting its commitment to the region's digital progress.

Embracing the Middle East with Ambitious Expansion

As the Middle East emerges as an innovation hub within the global digital landscape, CDNetworks has collaborated with over 30 prominent ISPs in the region, including key players like Etisalat, STC, and Ooredoo, and established over 50 PoPs across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other strategically located countries.

In 2024, to support organizations to penetrate the Middle Eastern market more effectively, CDNetworks plans to add 30 PoPs for 100% network coverage, ensuring comprehensive connectivity.

"Delivering unparalleled network performance in the region is the cornerstone of this initiative," stated Antony Li, CDNetworks' Global Head of Infrastructure. "Our aim is to establish a benchmark resource network in the Middle East, enhancing digital infrastructure resilience and scalability to support businesses in effectively navigating Middle Eastern markets."
