UAE-IX is a carrier- and data center-neutral internet exchange point (IXP) situated in Dubai (UAE). It interconnects global networks, network operators and content providers in the GCC region. Founded in 2012,[1] UAE-IX is built on a fully redundant switching platform located in two data centers in Dubai, Datamena and Equinix. Initiated by the UAE’s Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA) and fully managed by DE-CIX, UAE-IX delivers a local alternative for regional traffic exchange, localizing Internet content.
Since inception in 2012, UAE-IX is the biggest Internet Exchange in Middle East and North Africa region in term of number of participating networks and volume of traffic.($) There are over 10 carriers who could provide connectivity to the Internet Exchange. It is also possible to get connected at the exchange through 4 partners who can provide connectivity without the need of physically being present at the Exchange (remote-peering).
Initially UAE-IX provided two options to get connected, with a Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbit/s) port. With 80 regional and global customers connected to UAE-IX, the internet exchange exceeded 100 Gbit/s peak traffic in September 2018 and an additional port option for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100 Gbit/s) was added.[2]
