Colocix, formerly SLT IX

Enhancing the local internet experience by providing a platform that enables the seamless exchange of IP traffic among all connected networks.

As the local internet user base continues to grow and the volume of locally generated content increases, we identified the need to strengthen the local internet ecosystem by facilitating direct traffic exchange between networks.

OUR STORY

Why Colocix?

Since 2012, we operated as SLT IX under SLT ownership, and have now rebranded as Colocix. Initially, our platform focused on facilitating traffic exchange among locally registered ISPs. However, with the increasing local internet user base and the rise in locally generated content, we recognized the need to expand our services.

By enabling the exchange of traffic across any network that hosts its own content, we aim to boost the local internet ecosystem. This expansion will not only benefit non-ISP networks significantly but also offer existing ISPs and Colocix members opportunities to provide connectivity for these networks, resulting in increased traffic.

To improve local internet experience by providing a platform to exchange mutual ip traffic of all connected networks ie members of Colocix. All networks connected to Colocix directly faces with each other hence there will not be any additional latency for traversing longer routes such as sub sea cables or isp networks to exchange their mutual traffic. This will enhance quality of service experience of local internet eco system for end users while saving external or sub sea infrastructure capacity for network owners at the back end.

Our basic offer includes 1G or 10G L2 switch port at Pitipana DC. Connectivity up to MMR will be at owners choice since the DC is carrier neutral. Colocation facility also will be available under DC product portfolio.

Members are free to set up mutual BGP sessions with each other but colocix has no control on such mutually arranged BGP sessions. Members are recommended not to congest traffic and advised to upgrade at reaching peak capacity of 75% of L2 port.
