Introducing Flex IX
The first IX and Transit combo with zero waste
Our new wholesale connectivity product combines Remote IX access and IP Transit in one flexible solution. Customers can commit from 10G to 100G on a single port for Remote IX and use every bit of that capacity. Any unused peering traffic automatically converts to IP Transit, with the option to burst above commit as needed.
We believe this sets a new standard in the market.
Why Flex IX?
Every network buyer knows the frustration: you commit to IX capacity, but traffic patterns shift, peers aren’t always active, and valuable bandwidth sits unused. Meanwhile, you’re managing separate contracts for IX and transit, adding cost and complexity.
Flex IX changes that.
RETN is the first to combine Remote IX and IP Transit into a single service, a single contract, and a single bill.
The result? Efficiency, simplicity, and resilience built in. One port. One vendor. One predictable cost. Every gigabit works harder.
READY TO EXPLORE FLEX IX?
No more wasted capacity. Unused IX instantly converts to transit, giving you the flexibility to use 100% of your committed bandwidth.
