We are still accepting new applications from 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

To apply for your own RIPE Atlas anchor:

For any other questions, please contact us at atlas at ripe.net

We’d like to thank all the anchor hosts and the organisations sponsoring anchors for their support in 2015. Thanks to you it was possible to expand the coverage and reach this amazing goal. 
Wishing all of you the best for 2016.
