We are still accepting new applications from individuals and organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. 

We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East, Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more geographical diversity to the measurement data.

There are more organisations that want to host a RIPE Atlas anchor but don’t have the necessary funding. To learn more about sponsoring an anchor, please contact us at mcb at ripe.net
