EdgeIX a leading independent operator of settlement-free, multi-lateral layer 2 internet exchanges, is pleased to announce the commissioning of our first 400G fabric port for Aussie Broadband (AS4764).

Joe Wooller, EdgeIX Technical Manager, said “EdgeIX and Aussie Broadband have a long and rich history, tracing back to the foundation of EdgeIX in 2019 when Aussie Broadband were the first network to peer on every EdgeIX fabric in an Australian capital city.

Since then, with the ongoing increase in bandwidth utilisation across networks of all types, higher port capacities have become an essential part of the expansion of large eyeball and content networks. EdgeIX has continued to invest in the evolution of our fabric, in response to feedback from our peers, so that we can remain the peering fabric of choice for all networks seeking to expand and enhance their connectivity throughout Australia.

We are incredibly pleased to have worked with the team at Aussie Broadband on the delivery of the first 400G port on an Australian internet exchange, and we look forward to continuing to support the growth of their global network.”

“Aussie Broadband is delighted to have taken yet another important step in growing our global network by collaborating with EdgeIX to deliver the first 400G port on the Australian Internet Exchange. Our relationship and work with EdgeIX has been invaluable and has allowed us to continue to change the game for our customers by providing high quality connectivity and continually upgrading our network,” said Aussie Broadband Senior Manager Network Backbone & IP Edge, James Di Trapani.
