Ge-DIX: Paving the Way for Data Traffic Exchange
According to the official release, Ge-DIX, founded by the Municipality of Genoa and Liguria Digitale in conjunction with Piedmont-based Internet Exchange TOP-IX and telecom companies BBBell, Fastweb, Retelit Irideos, and Rocket Way, was established with the primary objective of becoming a preferred data traffic exchange point for Internet service providers.
Through a physical network access point, leading local, national, and international ISPs, who land their Internet networks in Genoa, can directly interconnect with each other and seamlessly exchange traffic with content and application providers.
Genoa Digital Hub
Sparkle stated that as part of this agreement, Ge-DIX will establish its Internet Exchange Point within Sparkle’s Genova Digital Hub in Lagaccio. The Genoa Digital Hub, known for its open and neutral colocation facility, will now serve as a new interconnection point for international terrestrial networks and submarine cables.
