  • End users gain access to high-capacity, high-availability internet exchange services
  • INX-ZA unlocks 400GE-ready peering infrastructure, enhancing service reach and performance
  • Nokia's IP networking solution supports scalable, next-generation internet exchange architecture
    • ]]>    Nokia is a global leader in connectivity for the AI era. With expertise across fixed, mobile, and transport networks, we’re advancing connectivity to secure a brighter world.

    ]]>    Nokia has been selected by INX-ZA, the Internet Exchange Point division of the Internet Service Provider Association (ISPA), to modernize its exchange infrastructure. INX-ZA will deploy Nokia’s high-performance IP routing portfolio to offer new 400GE and expanded 100GE services to its customers across the country. As a result, businesses and internet users can now experience faster, more resilient, and future-ready Internet connectivity in South Africa.

    Internet exchanges are a critical component of the digital ecosystem, enabling data to be exchanged locally and reducing dependency on expensive international bandwidth. Yet many IXPs across Africa still operate on aging platforms that lack scalability and efficiency. INX-ZA’s shift to Nokia’s solution addresses these limitations head-on, opening the door to more energy-efficient, scalable and high-density infrastructure that can evolve alongside the region’s digital ambitions.

    Nokia will upgrade INX-ZA’s Internet Exchange Points in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, beginning with Johannesburg – home to JINX, Africa’s oldest Internet Exchange Point, which has achieved 100% uptime since its launch in 1996. Together, Nokia and INX-ZA will expand JINX from seven to ten data centers by year-end, deploying thirty high-performance platforms in phase one to preserve its industry-leading availability while extending its reach.

    The deployment, powered by Nokia’s high-capacity 7250 Interconnect Routers and Service Router Operating System (SR OS), enables INX-ZA to offer new 400GE and expanded 100GE services for peering partners and Internet service providers (ISPs) – a capability not previously available in the region. In addition, it will augment the scale and performance of INX-ZA’s backbone to connect to different points of presence (POPs) with 400GE links.

    This initiative lays the foundation for similar transformations across the continent’s legacy exchange points. It is a major step towards more efficient, flexible, and high-performance network infrastructure for South African ISPs, cloud providers, and enterprises.

  • With seven new DWDM routes, MX Fiber will power major infrastructure projects like the Interoceanic Corridor and Maya Train, fueling economic growth across Southeastern Mexico.
  • Nokia 1830 PSS optical backbone solution supports 10G/100G/200G/400G services and massive line capacity growth up to 2.4. Tb/s to support MX Fiber footprint expansion.
    • ]]>    Nokia is a global leader in connectivity for the AI era. With expertise across fixed, mobile, and transport networks, we’re advancing connectivity to secure a brighter world.

    ]]>    Nokia today announced the deployment of a new high-speed optical transport backbone network for MX Fiber, delivering reliable, high-capacity connectivity across Southeast Mexico, one of the country’s most populous yet underserved regions.

    This future-proof network lays the digital foundation to support economic revitalization and modern services for communities, businesses, and government projects. Customers across Chiapas, Tabasco, and Quintana Roo, and soon Campeche and Veracruz, will benefit from faster internet, enhanced cloud access, and support for data-intensive applications in areas that have long lacked sufficient infrastructure.

    MX Fiber’s 1,800 km expansion, powered by Nokia’s Flex-Grid DWDM technology and 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), delivers scalable 10G, 100G, and 200G services. This capacity enables customers to connect to modern data centers, industrial parks, and subsea transport hubs, critical for commerce, mobility, and digital inclusion.

    The Nokia 1830 PSS solution ensures efficient and cost-effective service delivery with seamless upgrades to 400G and 800G without disrupting existing services. Built-in dynamic network management and real-time performance monitoring via Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) give MX Fiber customers the peace of mind that their connectivity is robust, responsive, and ready for future demands.
