Unrivaled Reach in the SAARC Region
GTZHost provides deep routing capabilities via Bharti Airtel, a global telecommunications titan and the dominant network operator across the Indian subcontinent. Airtel’s massive AS9498 backbone connects a rapidly expanding digital population, backed by significant investments in both domestic terrestrial fiber and international submarine cables (such as i2i and MENA).
Establishing a physical cross-connect to Airtel inside our data centers empowers hyperscalers, OTT streaming platforms, and financial institutions to deliver content directly to over a billion potential end-users without the latency associated with international internet exchange bottlenecks.
Why this structure is better for routing
Direct integration bypasses third-party transit providers, ensuring content reaches Indian residential and mobile networks instantaneously.
AS9498 Localized Peering
Eliminates trombone routing for traffic terminating in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
Massive Edge Density
Unprecedented access to localized 4G/5G mobile edge networks and broadband consumers.
Submarine Gateways
Dedicated fiber optic capacity connecting Indian markets directly to Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Why route through Airtel with GTZHost?
Traffic intended for the Indian demographic can often suffer from erratic ping times if not routed correctly. GTZHost’s intelligent BGP architecture recognizes Airtel as the optimal path for SAARC-bound data, seamlessly transferring workloads at the edge to ensure high-bandwidth, jitter-free media delivery.
