LINX have recently welcomed Colt Data Centre to their London network as a Transmission PoP. The new partnership offers Colt customers a valuable, new additional service and prospective LINX members an attractive new location to peer in West London.

A Transmission PoP is a facility physically based within a carrier neutral data centre that provides customers with direct access to LINX’s infrastructure and improved performance of their peering connectivity.

Matthew Cantwell, Director of Product for Colt DCS commented:

“We are delighted with the addition of a LINX transmission POP to our London West data centre. Along with a wide choice of alternative carriers, our customers see direct access to Internet Exchanges as a crucial element of their network strategy. We look forward to working closely with LINX to help our customers and prospects benefit from the capabilities of our site and connecting directly to the UK’s premier Internet exchange.”

As well as improved latency and resilience, Colt customers who become LINX members will also benefit from improved routing control, increased capacity and redundancy at lower cost. In addition, there is also the opportunity to peer with over 820 member ASNs from over 75 countries worldwide on LINX’s dual peering Local Area Networks (LANs) LON1 and LON2, a facility unique to the UK.

Jennifer Holmes, Head of Sales at LINX commented:

“We are really excited to be partnering with Colt for the launch of a new Transmission PoP in London. This will allow even more networks to connect to our peering platforms in the capital from a location that is rapidly growing in importance. It is a very positive step for the network community here."
