About Namex
Namex – Roma Internet eXchange Point is a non-profit, neutral exchange and interconnection point between national and international Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Namex is the main Internet hub of Central and Southern Italy, a crucial meeting point where important international streaming, cloud content providers and national access providers connect. The Namex consortium counts many local ISPs operating in Italy, particularly in the South of the country, in the territories that are least served by network infrastructures. The purpose of Namex is to provide a neutral platform on which local and international operators can benefit from the interconnection services provided by the Consortium, improving the Internet infrastructure of Southern Italy. In the last four years Namex has had an average annual growth rate of 15% and has come to establish itself as a strategic point of presence for all ISPs operating in Italy, offering itself as an indispensable element for all operators who need to guarantee a high-quality service throughout Italy.
