Rocket Fibre, a member network of the London Internet Exchange (LINX), has announced a significant upgrade to its service offering by becoming a LINX ConneXions Reseller Partner in London and Manchester.
This strategic move enables Rocket Fibre to resell LINX services at LINX in London and LINX Manchester, expanding its product portfolio and delivering enhanced connectivity options to its customers.
Rocket Fibre is proud of the strength and openness of their network. With an extensive UK and European footprint, they are already present in key hubs such as Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt and are in the process of bringing Madrid, Lisbon, Barcelona and Marseille online.
As one of the fastest growing peering networks in the UK, they are committed to building rich, direct interconnections that keep traffic local, improve performance and reduce reliance on costly transit.
Through the LINX ConneXions Reseller programme, networks can use Rocket Fibre’s backbone to reach LINX from anywhere across their European presence. Whether in Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt or soon Madrid, seamlessly connecting into LINX on a network built for performance and reliability.
As a ConneXions Reseller Partner, Rocket Fibre provides streamlined access to LINX’s world-class peering infrastructure, enabling networks across Europe and the UK to benefit from faster, more resilient and cost-effective interconnection solutions.
Tom Sanders, CEO of Rocket Fibre, commented: “We’re excited to join LINX as a ConneXions Partner. Our growth is driven by one simple goal, to make the internet faster, more resilient and more efficient for everyone who can connect to us.
“This partnership extends the reach of our extensive network footprint and makes it even easier for networks to access the LINX ecosystem across the UK. At the same time, Rocket Fibre is expanding rapidly across Europe, adding a new Point of Presence every week.
“By combining our growing European reach and high-performance connectivity with LINX’s world-class peering fabric, we’re enabling our customers and partners to benefit from faster, more resilient and more cost-effective interconnection operations.”
LINX ConneXions Reseller Partners not only resell LINX peering services but also additional services like the exclusive Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS).
Colin Peckham, New Business and Partner Executive for LINX, commented: “It’s really impressive what Rocket Fibre have done for the UK’s connectivity scene in such a short period and now the exciting expansion into Europe. We are really proud to be part of their journey, choosing LINX as an interconnection facilitator from day one. Having worked with Tom for a number of years I’m confident that the Rocket Fibre and LINX partner proposition will deliver growth and expansion for both parties.”
LINX are critical, national, digital infrastructure for the UK and have been operating for the good of the Internet since 1994. Their strategic interconnection hubs in London, Manchester, Scotland and Wales encourage regional traffic distribution for lower latency connectivity experiences.
Rocket Fibre’s new partnership with LINX reflects its commitment to delivering high-performance connectivity and supporting the growth of digital infrastructure across the UK and Europe.
