A point of presence (PoP) is a site where a carrier installs its network equipment (routers, transmission) to serve an area: it's where its customers and other networks connect to its backbone. A single data center often hosts the PoPs of several carriers.
The more carrier PoPs a data center has, the more connectivity choice and price competition you get. On DataColoc, carrier presence per site is exactly the information we map.
