Why Egypt?

The Opportunity

The Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region offers a unique growth opportunity for Internet-based businesses. With a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of over $2.4 trillion, the MENA region has a population of over 376 million people. According to Madar Research, the combined Arab GDP grew more than 23 percent during 2005, pushing per capita growth to record highs.

MEIX Specifications

In February, 2006, GPX announced its first IX hub—the GPX Middle East Internet eXchange (MEIX).

Unlike other Telco and ISP owned interconnect businesses within the region, GPX does not resell network transport or hosting services so customers can freely choose best-in-class partners for optimal price, performance and service.

GPX Egypt Licenses

GPX receives much support and cooperation from the Egyptian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA). GPX has been granted a unique license to build and operate a world class data center and internet exchange point.
