The network extension to PAIX Nairobi includes key local ISPs and global players such as Meta and Starlink. This expansion allows networks co-located at PAIX Nairobi to become part of a global membership, enhancing their connectivity and access to peering services.

Why it is important
This collaboration with PAIX will help LINX achieve its goal of creating a dynamic interconnection community in the region, enabling networks to exchange traffic locally while accessing global opportunities.

The new partnership ensures that networks within PAIX can now seamlessly connect to LINX’s interconnection fabric, benefiting from the exchange’s extensive global ecosystem and robust technical infrastructure.
