Internet exchange De-Cix on Thursday said it has doubled its point of presence (PoP) in India to 10 data centres to facilitate trade of bandwidth for various online applications and services. The expansion of De-Cix follows over a two-fold jump in internet traffic in India due to work from home in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
