NaMeX – AMS-IX Partnership Agreement

1 November 2010

AMS-IX and NaMeX are Internet Exchange Points with different and complementary features. AMS-IX is one of the largest IXPs in Europe and is located in one of the core points for the worldwide Internet, Amsterdam. It offers its members great potential in exchanging traffic due to the presence of a large diversity of ISPs, carriers, content parties and mobile networks.

NaMeX is located in the gate of the Mediterranean – Rome, Italy - and provides its members one of the best facilities in Southern Europe to support interconnections between network operators and is a natural gateway to Europe for carriers and ISPs coming from Mediterranean and Middle East area.

NaMeX and AMS-IX have developed a partnership in order to mutually increase the number of connecting networks. That’s why AMS-IX and NaMeX have agreed upon common strategies to pursue this goal.

Among these, a link between NaMeX and AMS-IX enables operators who are present in Rome to connect and peer with members in Amsterdam, whilst operators in AMS-IX will have new business opportunities in Rome.
Not only do Mediterranean and Middle eastern members in Rome enjoy the advantages of this connection, but AMS-IX members benefit from access to new, unique, and rapidly growing members from South and beyond at their exchange.
