Interconnect


Services offered by R-iX include interconnection to the R-iX owned switches in Rotterdam as well as interconnection from Rotterdam (Spaanse Kubus and Schiecentrale) to Amsterdam (Sara and Nikhef) and vice versa and link(s) to R-iX switches in Amsterdam. 

Also included in the interconnection possibilities is connectivity between the R-iX housing locations within the city of Rotterdam. R-iX interconnections can be made based on Ethernet, fast Ethernet, gigabit Ethernet or (private) VLAN's on top of one of these. Between some R-iX housing locations in Rotterdam, dark-fiber is also a possible link type.

Recently, a fully diverse fiber ring was installed at the City of Rotterdam. This metro ring provides direct broadband connectivity to hundreds of both profit and non-profit organizations. The glass fiber ring is designed to meet the cities expansion plans and for that reason takes into account new planned future business parks. R-iX presents direct interconnection to these (potential) customers. This offers new opportunities to service and content providers to deliver (innovative) IP based services to a large number of companies and individuals.
