MIX Palermo

Active since 2017 in Palermo/Carini at Mediterra PMO 01 (formerly Open Hub Med), it officially became “MIX Palermo” in March 2021, the first regional IX of MIX.

MIX Palermo is a peering environment dedicated to locally connected operators which facilitates and encourages data exchange and ensures the best possible latency. It is a simple solution that guarantees locally connected operators can exchange and access data using the shortest available route.

This technological choice is fundamental at a time when the PoP has seen the direct connection of the first OTT and is being further populated by content operators whose delivery requires local platforms (caches) to improve access times. With MIX Palermo, a new conceptual approach to peering in Italy has been launched. The unequivocal trend of the decentralisation of network services enabled by increasingly high-performance and high-speed access technologies cannot in fact ignore the need to create interconnections at a local level.
