AEX — Simplifying growth
We cut AEX's backhaul procurement from 6–12 months to 30–90 days, for rapid multi-state expansion.
Connect to content providers
Direct peering, without the colocation and cross-connects
Your most expensive paths are carrying the traffic you could peer
High transit rates for peerable contentA large share of transit spend goes to content available through direct peering: video, software updates, CDN traffic. Without exchange access it all stays on metered transit, and the bill scales with every subscriber you add.
Building into an exchange is a capital projectConnecting directly to an IX means securing colocation, deploying routers, and managing cross-connects at each facility. That's a capital and operational commitment few networks can justify until their traffic is already large.
Content networks don't peer with everyone who asksDirect arrangements with major content providers take a presence at the right facilities and an established relationship. Without both, the sessions that would move your traffic off transit are hard to open and harder to keep.
We turn peering into a path you just connect to
Every exchange we're in, reached on one connection to us
We hold the colocation, equipment, and cross-connects at major interconnection facilities already. You connect once to us and reach those exchanges directly, with no hardware to deploy and no facility to build into.
Direct peering sessions, opened and run on AS 14016
You decide which content providers and networks to peer with. We open the sessions on our autonomous system, carry the traffic across our backbone, and hand it to your network. You own the relationships, we run the infrastructure underneath them.
Routing that moves your traffic off paid transit
Once you're peering through us, the content your subscribers pull most - video, software, CDN traffic - shifts off metered transit onto direct paths. Lower cost per bit, shorter routes, and better performance to the destinations that carry your volume.
We're already present at the exchanges and facilities your traffic needs to reach

About our networkNaaS
Hand us the IX memberships, the negotiations, and the upkeep.
We already run your peering, at the right facilities, with the right partners. Let us run the upstream around it too: IP transit on AS 14016, routing, and DDoS protection, in the same relationship, on one contract and one bill, one team accountable for what your users actually experience.
About NaaSOur client portal monitors your circuits, carriers, and content paths in one place
ClearView gives you real-time visibility into your content provider connections, IX traffic, open orders, and support tickets - all in one dashboard, regardless of the underlying carrier. When performance drops, you see it immediately.

The difference managed peering makes.
Transit costs that actually go down. Direct peering shifts your highest-volume traffic off expensive transit paths. The more content your subscribers pull from major providers, the more your cost profile improves.
Access without the infrastructure investment. You don't need colocation, cross-connects, or IX membership fees to get the benefits of direct peering. We bring our footprint to your network.
Relationships that take years to build, available now. Our existing arrangements with Google, Akamai, Fastly, and major networks give you immediate access to direct peering that would take years to negotiate independently.
Good peering is the kind your subscribers never notice
The best connectivity partner is one you rarely have to think about. Responsive when you need us, invisible when you don't.
