LINX Reaches 25 Active 400GE Ports, Strengthening Global Interconnection Capacity
The London Internet Exchange (LINX) has announced a major milestone in its ongoing mission to strengthen global internet infrastructure, reaching 25 active 400GE ports across its network. This achievement underscores LINX’s leadership in delivering high-capacity, resilient interconnection services to meet the growing demands of the digital economy.
Driving the Next Phase of Internet Connectivity
The deployment of 25 active 400GE (Gigabit Ethernet) ports reflects LINX’s commitment to scaling its infrastructure to support higher bandwidth, lower latency, and improved performance for its members.
As global internet traffic continues to surge, fueled by AI applications, cloud computing, and streaming services, the need for robust and scalable interconnection platforms has never been greater. LINX’s latest upgrade ensures that service providers, enterprises, and content networks have access to state-of-the-art connectivity solutions capable of handling modern data-intensive workloads.
“Reaching 25 active 400GE ports is a testament to the evolving needs of our members and the strength of our technical infrastructure,” said Jennifer Holmes, CEO of LINX. “We’ve seen a clear shift towards higher-capacity services, and LINX is proud to be at the forefront of enabling this transformation. This achievement reflects our commitment to technical excellence, scalability, and supporting a thriving digital ecosystem across the UK.”
Supporting UK and Global Digital Transformation
Beyond the UK, LINX continues to expand its interconnection footprint internationally, supporting platforms in the United States and Africa. This expansion ensures that LINX members benefit from seamless, high-speed connections across continents, enabling global data exchange and digital collaboration.
The 400GE milestone further enhances LINX’s ability to deliver resilient, secure, and localised connectivity, ensuring UK traffic stays within the country while offering international reach where needed.
Commitment to a Future-Ready Internet
LINX’s investment in 400GE technology is part of its long-term vision to keep the internet open, interconnected, and resilient. As more businesses adopt digital-first strategies, LINX’s infrastructure advancements provide the foundation for a future where speed, reliability, and scalability are essential.
“We’re proud to lead the way in delivering superior interconnection services in the UK, not just for the world’s largest content networks, but for local providers who rely on us to keep their traffic flowing reliably and securely,” Holmes added.
This milestone highlights LINX’s pivotal role in shaping the future of global connectivity, enabling innovation, collaboration, and growth in the digital age.
