This article provides a brief overview of our Access, its interface specifications and restrictions.

 

To take advantage of DE-CIX’s interconnection services, start by connecting to our platform via an Access. An access is the physical port provided by DE-CIX, from which you enter our network. You have the option to connect at various DE-CIX locations worldwide:

  • at premium enabled sites where DE-CIX operates its proprietary hardware
  • at partner sites where we collaborate with partners to establish your connection

Our platform provides independent access, subject to the specific location with capacities of

  • 1GE
  • 10GE
  • 100GE
  • 400GE

Upon establishing a connection, you can then order a multitude of services as needed.
