Along with HKIX3 at MEGA Two in Shatin enjoying proximity to HKIX’s core sites HKIX1 and HKIX1b on CUHK campus, the addition of HKIX3b at MEGA-i creates unparalleled secured connections to HKIX with extra redundancy and flexibility.

HKIX and Satellite Sites

HKIX is one of the largest Internet Exchange points in Asia Pacific. Operated by HKIX Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Foundation, the aim of HKIX is to connect Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Hong Kong so that intra-Hong Kong traffic can be exchanged locally without any overseas routing.

The establishment of satellite sites in town is a strategic move on the part of HKIX to enhance proximity for local Internet users. By co-locating data centres and satellite sites, HKIX users can enjoy direct connection with enhanced performance and greater flexibility at lower cost.
