DE-CIX celebrates the launch of two new locations in Mexico

WHEN: 6th November 2023
WHERE: Mexico City

WHY: DE-CIX inaugurated its first two Internet Exchanges in Mexico—DE-CIX Mexico City and DE-CIX Queretaro—which are set to transform interconnection in the country. Over 350 guests from the interconnection industry as well as local and international enterprises and organizations attended the event at the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City. DE-CIX Mexico City and DE-CIX Queretaro will initially be hosted in the KIO data centers, with plans for expansion to further data centers in the future. These two IXs are directly connected to each other and to the DE-CIX global ecosystem via DE-CIX Dallas, which allows them to offer reliable and high-speed interconnection platforms for regional ISPs, content and carrier networks, cloud service providers, and businesses, as well as provide low-latency access to North American clouds, content, and applications./im
