KUCHING: Sarawak’s pioneering telecommunication company, irix Sdn Bhd, has launched the ‘irix’ Internet Exchange, the first internet exchange (IX) in the state.
In a press release, irix said with the launch of this platform, it can further enhance digital connectivity and improve the internet experience for Sarawak businesses, communities, government and individuals.
“Internet Exchanges are a crucial part in the fabric of the Internet as they facilitate the transfer of Internet traffic between IP-networks. By exchanging traffic via an Internet Exchange, networks can shorten Internet routes, which decreases the cost of Internet traffic and significantly lowers latency.
“With irix Internet Exchange, content delivery networks (CDNs) can now peer directly with internet service providers (ISPs) and mobile network operators (MNOs) in Sarawak.
“This direct peering will significantly reduce latency, resulting in faster loading times for websites, applications, and online content.”
It added that the launching heralds a transformative moment for Sarawak’s digital landscape.
“We’re driven by a mission to empower businesses, service providers, and communities with reliable high-speed internet connectivity, paving the way for limitless innovation and growth.
“As the first Internet Exchange in Sarawak, we are committed to being the cornerstone of the region’s digital future.”
It stated that the irix Internet Exchange’s strategic location in Sarawak marks a pivotal moment in Sarawak’s digital evolution.
“By bringing together CDNs, ISPs, and MNOs in Sarawak, irix is set to foster an ecosystem of collaboration, innovation, and economic development.”
