The North's interconnection hub
Peers in the North
Media, content, enterprise and research networks in one place, giving you direct access to the peers that matter most in the region.
Redundant, resilient fabric
An interconnected, redundant switching fabric. Multiple data centre locations mean you can build genuine path diversity into your northern presence.
Keep traffic local
Traffic between northern networks stays in the North, reducing reliance on London routes and improving performance for end users.
Lower latency, shorter paths
Fewer hops and shorter paths, so traffic reaches its destination faster with less exposure to congestion on long-haul routes.
Available at LINX Manchester
Connect directly with hundreds of networks to exchange traffic. Direct interconnection lowers latency, gives you greater control over how traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand as demand grows.
Secure, low-latency connections to Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud and more, over LINX infrastructure rather than the public internet. Reliable uptime and greater control over your traffic.
Separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, keeping private traffic isolated within LINX infrastructure while simplifying how you manage it.
A direct connection between your network and Microsoft cloud services, with optimal routing for Microsoft 365, Teams and Azure. Low latency and reliable performance for business-critical traffic.
A private Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners or customers, for controlled traffic exchange within LINX infrastructure.
