On 24 February 2022 MIX announced the activation of a new Point of Presence (PoP) at ML5, Equinix’s Settimo Milanese datacenter near Milan.

The nineth MIX node in ML5 further increases the coverage of the public peering network already present in major data centres across the country. The PoP connects customers at 100 Gbps and further expands the offering of MIX-IT’s peering LAN network, to which networks — with a total capacity exceeding 10 Tbps — are already interconnected.

It makes possible to connect to MIX in ML5 with 10GE or 100GE ports, and several MIX switches to balance IP traffic at full wire speed.

Like all primary MIX nodes, the architecture is designed to ensure total reliability on different paths for all customers in ML5 who want to connect to the peering LAN with redundant connections— easily meeting the needs of content owners and distributors.
