GNX Establishes Presence at UAE’s SmartHub Fujairah to Boost Global Connectivity
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.
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. 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.”
