Since 2016, the city has become the fastest growing internet exchange point in the world, with more than 130 networks connected. Madrid is a center for interconnection and distribution of traffic of data within the Iberian Peninsula and has the presence of important neutral points that interconnect networks and with proximity to large submarine cabling systems that connect it with Africa and America through Lisbon or Bilbao. A This must be added that the combined percentage of connectivity in France, the United Kingdom and Portugal corresponds to 89% of Spain's international connection capacity.


Related DE-CIX, global internet exchange operator, which installed that neutral point in Madrid, has identified the main lines of action that will be established in the coming years to respond to the growing connection demands demanded by 5G, the cloud and the Internet of Things.

trends for future connectivity

This trend suggests that next year we will see another exponential rise and a new milestone in this area.

  • More submarine connections between continents: Up to 300,000 kilometers of submarine cable is the estimate of the total deployment of submarine internet connections by 2021, mainly driven by providers of content.Only in 2019, Google expects to complete the installation of five cables: Curie, Havfrue, HK-G, Indigo and PLCN.This way, the new networks that are being created will increase traffic towards the most relevant strategic hubs to global level like New York, Frankfurt or Hong Kong, but they will also lead to a greater diversification of the routes and the need to create new interconnection nodes.

  • Increasingly closer to the end user: The greater demands for bandwidth and speed demanded by the new digital economy based on cloud and 5G solutions will help companies choose points of Internet exchange and data centers closer to users to improve performance and latency.As a result, content providers are betting on developing bandwidth near large urban centers-such as Tokyo or Sao Paulo-or by strategic peering locations at the regional level, such as Madrid or Marseille, which will result in the birth of new digital hubs.

  • More connected cybersecurity: In a hyperconnected world, security will be less and less dependent on the device and more on the network.Stability connectivity and interconnection points It will take on an even more important role in 2018 while increasing the services and contents that depend on the cloud instead of the physical storage in the devices.Protect against DDoS attacks, whose frequency has not stopped growing in recent years, and a greater investment in cybersecurity and processes of blackholing will be indispensable for companies.

  • Coordinated planning from the Administration: These trends create the opportunity for several cities to become key locations for the internet ecosystem, with an important direct and indirect economic injection According to DE-CIX, in 2019 we will see how several capitals will carry out deliberate planning to adapt to this scenario, since it is necessary for the Administrations to lead a concerted effort through a strategic plan in which the main economic agents are involved./li>
