Why Omnexus

Global reach. Regional access.

  • Keep regional traffic regional

    Networks exchange traffic in their own region instead of backhauling it hundreds of miles to a major hub and back, bringing round-trip times down to low single-digit milliseconds.

  • Tethered to a larger exchange

    Every Omnexus exchange is tethered to a major exchange, such as DE-CIX Dallas for Wichita, so the networks there are within reach from your local port.

  • Built for AI and the cloud

    Private paths to the major clouds and AI platforms put inference and cloud workloads closer to the people and businesses that use them.

How peering works

One port instead of dozens of circuits

Peering is the direct exchange of traffic between networks. On Omnexus IX, a single connection and BGP sessions with the route servers put you in reach of networks across the exchange.
