IX Reach is a global leading provider of wholesale carrier services and bundled connectivity solutions for carriers, ISPs, content providers and networks, such as: IX Remote Peering, low latency Global high-Speed Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Capacity, extensive Metro Ethernet in major cities, BGP Transit, Cloud Connectivity solutions and Colocation.
Industry experts Steve Wilcox and Monica O’Meany founded the network in 2007; with the first network PoPs being built in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris. Both founders brought with them a wealth of experience and understanding for what the wholesale Telecoms community was looking for.
When the founders met, they formed the idea for IX Reach, which emerged from an overwhelming need from the industry, for simple network expansion solutions into new markets, and a global ‘single point of contact’ wholesale carrier who could bundle solutions – particularly peering at major Internet Exchanges – without the need for the customer to manage and invest heavily in new infrastructure.
Since 2007, IX Reach has therefore cultivated an unrivalled partner network of key Internet Exchanges; data centres and cloud operators, while steadily expanding the network globally in order to continue providing customers with all the benefits of one solution for their connectivity requirements.
