GNX new PoP on e& Fujairah’s Campus adds new diverse routes for customers, connecting the Middle East with APAC, Europe, and the Americas
Amsterdam and Dubai, February 2026 – Global connectivity provider, GNX, has expanded into the e& Carrier & Wholesale (C&WS) ecosystem , the international wholesale arm of the global technology group e&, with a new Point of Presence (PoP) at e&’s SmartHub Fujairah campus in the UAE.
The Middle East continues to see rapid digital acceleration, driven by large-scale investments in AI infrastructure, hyperscale cloud platforms, and enterprise digital transformation. As international businesses expand into and across the region, demand for resilient, low-latency, and globally integrated connectivity is increasing sharply. e&’s SmartHub Fujairah plays a critical role in meeting this demand.
Strategically located at one of the region’s key subsea cable landing stations, the Fujairah Campus serves as a major digital gateway between Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond. With GNX now on-site, international enterprises and service providers will gain direct access to high-performance, carrier-neutral infrastructure, enabling more diverse routing options, improved resilience, and cost-effective global connectivity across multiple continents. This expansion in international traffic and interconnection is accelerating demand for strategically located, carrier-neutral hubs such as e&’s SmartHub Fujairah.
“We are excited to be joining up with e& Carrier & Wholesale (C&WS) as one of their connectivity partners in the region,” says Rutger Bevaart, CEO at GNX. “It strengthens performance and reliability for our existing customers with operations in the Middle East, while creating additional capacity to support the rapidly growing demand for global connectivity services driven by AI, cloud, and enterprise expansion.”
By tapping directly into e&’s SmartHub Fujairah, GNX is deepening its integration with e&’s infrastructure ecosystem. The new PoP enables closer proximity to subsea cable systems, faster international interconnection, and seamless integration with GNX’s global backbone spanning Europe, APAC, and the Americas. At the same time, it strengthens its portfolio with international, carrier-neutral connectivity, cross-connect services, and IP transit solutions — all delivered through GNX’s automated platform and supported by a team of global internet and network experts.
