GNM operates a high-capacity global backbone interconnecting key international markets, supported by a distributed interconnection platform designed to enable scalable and flexible connectivity.

LINX is one of the world’s most established Internet Exchange operators, bringing together a diverse community of networks across multiple international peering platforms and providing a neutral environment for efficient traffic exchange. Its flagship exchange, LINX LON1, is one of the largest IXPs globally and a core hub for UK and international network interconnection.

Through this partnership, GNM will offer seamless access to LINX LON1 services, allowing any network connected across its infrastructure to benefit from simplified, direct connectivity to LINX. This includes access to public peering, closed user groups, and the exclusive Microsoft Azure Peering Services (MAPS), all delivered with enhanced ease and efficiency.

The collaboration provides additional connectivity options for networks seeking to optimise their peering strategies, improve routing efficiency, and enhance global traffic exchange.

Alex Surkov, Head of Business Development at GNM, said:

“We are pleased to collaborate with LINX and make their peering services available through GNM infrastructure. LINX has built a strong and well-established interconnection community, and this partnership allows networks connected to GNM to access that ecosystem more easily. At the same time, it expands the connectivity options available to our customers and strengthens the range of interconnection services we provide globally.”

With broad data centre choice and network diversity, LON1 serves as the foundation of LINX’s UK and international peering landscape. 

Colin Peckham, New Business & Partner Specialist for LINX, added:

“We are delighted to welcome GNM as a reseller partner at our LON1 platform. By extending access to LINX services through GNM’s backbone and interconnection environment, we continue to make it easier for networks around the world to join our community and benefit from high-quality, low-latency peering. Partnerships like this are essential to supporting the growth and resilience of the global Internet.”

Together, GNM and LINX look forward to supporting the global peering community and providing networks with greater flexibility when building and scaling their interconnection strategies.
