Namex opens a new regional hub in Naples: Namex Napoli
Naples, the largest city in Southern Italy, will have for the first time an Internet eXchange point (IXP), an crucial interconnection hub in the continuation of the development of the Mediterranean Internet network.
Why a new regional IXP
The current rapid acceleration of the digitalisation of businesses, schools and public administrations, combined with the increasing consumption of live and on-demand streaming content requires a greater capillarity of network infrastructures.
IXPs play an important role, since they are the main interconnection hubs that contribute to the quality and reliability of the Internet. These are the reasons that led Namex to open its first regional IXP in Bari, at the beginning of 2022, and that today lead to the opening of its second regional IXP: Namex Napoli.
The choice of Naples
Naples is the main city of Southern Italy and it has been, until today, the largest Italian city without an Internet eXchange Point. Considering the high population density, the presence of a regional IXP has proved essential to allow all operators to continue their development, improving the delivery of content and low-latency services, but also enhancing the resilience and security of the Internet.
Namex Napoli follows the path of Namex Bari, with the goal of moving the interconnection towards the edge of the network, contributing to the development of the Mediterranean networking environment.
Location
Namex Napoli opens in partnership with the Università PartHenope, in a site close to one of the largest existing PoPs in the city (Napoli Tupputi – TIM).
