BT's new GIPX hub [Saudi Gazette, The](Saudi Gazette, The Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BT will build a Global IP Exchange (GIPX) interoperability hub with Viva Bahrain. The hub is scheduled for launch in Bahrain in the first quarter of 2015 and will allow Viva to provide hosting and connectivity and also serve as a fresh route to market for BT's Global IP Exchange Voice and interoperability services in the region. Viva Bahrain is a subsidiary of Saudi Telecom Company (STC).

Such exchanges are targeted at operators that want to deliver connectivity between voice-over-IP operators, traditional communications providers and converged service providers. BT's partnership with Viva Bahrain sees the expansion of its GIPX footprint to a fourth region, following the launches of hubs in Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas. (c) 2014 The Saudi Gazette.
