LU-CIX, Connecting Europe in One Spot!

LU-CIX stands for „Luxembourg Commercial Internet exchange” and was founded in 2009, based on a cross-industries initiative.

The creation of LU-CIX is a huge step forward for Luxembourg’s Internet community as it will further develop teh Grand Duchy as a prime e-commerce platform in Europe. LU-CIX follows the model of major international centers such as AMS-IX (Amsterdam), LINX (London) and DE-CIX (Frankfurt). It also mirrors the spirit of openness and neutrality of these centers.

Thanks to LU-CIX, companies generating IP traffic and attracted to Luxembourg by the favorable economic environment, are now in a position to find all the means and tools to carry their traffic to all Internet users around the world. This Internet exchange point will permit the various Internet service providers to exchange Internet traffic between their networks, and thus directly connect the content providers and international Internet operators located in Luxembourg.

In recent years, Luxembourg has also positioned itself successfully as the home for multinational Internet and e-commerce players. The country has made important investments to develop national and international bandwidth connectivity and interconnect Luxembourg to the key European centers, including London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Establishing a commercial traffic exchange platform makes the Luxembourg Internet offer even more attractive.

LU-CIX provides all the benefits of an open and neutral Internet eXchange. We operate a state-of-the-art Foundry switching platform. Customers can be connected by FE, GE and 10GE ports. Our services comprise Public Peering, Quality-of-Service Peering, Multicast and Private VLANs at attractive prices.
