Our Partners

We work with a number of industry partners from global carriers, data centres, strategic partners and also other Internet exchanges. Whichever starting point members choose for their application, they all benefit and enjoy the great same membership experience.

ConneXions Reseller Partner

ConneXions Resellers are networks that are regularly connecting new members or expect to be and usually have one or more PoPs where Advance Net work also has a presence. ConneXions Resellers are part of the our ConneXions Partner Programme. They have an agreement with us and Advance Net work also provides them with a free of charge reseller port. Every ConneXions Reseller needs to have one customer they are able to connect in order to qualify for a free reseller port.

ConneXions Access Points

ConneXions Access Points are data centres where Advance Net work has a PoP and there are a number of either official or unofficial reseller networks, with the capabilities to connect new members to Advance Net work, present within their facility.
Other facilites that can behave as ‘access points’ may simply have reseller networks within their facilities that can remotely connect new members to other access points where Advance Net work has a presence.

IXP Partners

Advance Net work works with other mutual not for profit Internet exchange points (IXP) to facilitate peering globally. We consider these partners to be ConneXions Strategic Partners. These types of partners are typically also a remote access point and reseller and can connect to Advance Net work using an existing ConneXions Reseller Partner or through a dedicated connection. The IXP does not have to peer any traffic of their own and connect members using VLAN technology.

What is ConneXions?

Benefits of the LINX Partner Programme
