Georgian Internet Exchange Point will launch in Georgia.

On September 28, 2016, 12:00, ISPs of Georgia will sign the document and express their will to participate in a formation of non-profit association and operation the IXP. Tbilisi Courtyard Marriott will host the ceremony.

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are vital elements of Internet infrastructure that enable networks to exchange traffic with each other. Multiple Internet service providers (ISPs) can connect at a single IXP, creating the potential for a range of technical and economic benefits for the local Internet community. By keeping local traffic local and avoiding international links, local operators and users can reap substantial cost savings, provide substantial local bandwidth, and significantly improve local Internet performance.

An Internet Exchange (IX) presence in the country is a fundamental condition and a high priority for a strong and steady development of InfoComm society. IX provides equal access to services to its members, enhances internet quality and creates a competitive environment.

Georgian IXP will improve internet quality and reduce its price. As it will help reduce entry barriers, the Georgian market will become more attractive for newcomers and investors.

Georgian IXP is established by the initiative and support of NewTelco Georgia and is supported by Small and Medium Telecom Operators Association of Georgia.
