100G Port Expansion

RIX expands high-speed connectivity options across all three locations

We're excited to announce the successful completion of our 100Gbps port expansion project. Additional 100G ports are now available at all three RIX locations, providing our members with enhanced capacity and flexibility for high-speed peering.

Expanded Capacity

The addition of new 100G ports at Tæknigarður, ISNIC headquarters, and Múlastöð represents a significant infrastructure investment. This expansion ensures we can continue to meet the growing bandwidth demands of our members and maintain our position as Iceland's premier internet exchange point.

New Capacity Details

  • 12 additional 100G ports deployed
  • 4 ports per location for redundancy
  • QSFP28 optical transceivers
  • Compatible with existing infrastructure

Why Upgrade to 100G?

As internet traffic continues to grow exponentially, many of our members are experiencing increased demand on their existing 10G and 40G connections. Upgrading to 100G provides several key benefits for network operators.

First and foremost, 100G connections offer ten times the bandwidth of 10G links and more than double that of 40G connections. This increased capacity allows ISPs and content providers to handle peak traffic loads more efficiently while maintaining headroom for future growth.

Competitive Pricing

We're pleased to announce that our 100G port pricing remains highly competitive. At €325 per month, RIX offers one of the most cost-effective 100G peering options in the Nordic region. This pricing structure makes high-speed connectivity accessible to a broader range of network operators.

Technical Specifications

The new 100G ports support industry-standard QSFP28 interfaces and are compatible with both single-mode and multi-mode fiber optics, depending on your location and requirements. Our technical team can assist with planning your upgrade and ensuring optimal performance.
