SAY
GOODBYE

TO SECOND-CLASS
INTERNET.

New in 2022, Connected Nation can help you established carrier-neutral Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) in your state or commumity.

IXPs improve regional internet performance by reducing latency and keeping internet traffic local that needs to stay local, while making cloud services and content faster and more reliable.

IXPs also lower costs for everyone by creating a marketplace that fosters competition among middle-mile and wholesale (IP transit) providers. States that do not have an IXP strategy are simply falling behind. Send us a message at ixp@connectednation.org or view our IXP page below!

A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
