Nokia has been selected by ESpanix to provide Spain’s first 400G connectivity for IXP customers. The 400G upgrade uses Nokia’s Interconnect routers to deliver a more efficient and sustainable alternative to bundling multiple 100GE connections, reducing complexity, power consumption, and operational costs for ESpanix and its customers.

ESpanix will also leverage Nokia’s Photonic Service Switch to optimize bandwidth across its optical transport network, allowing the IXP to select the most optimized solution for its customer needs.

The layered network approach ensures scalability for larger customers and supports ESpanix’s goals of expanding its footprint and evolving its infrastructure. All ESpanix’s Points of Presence have been upgraded to 400G and are operational as of today.

The upgrade project addresses the increasing demand for high-capacity and sustainable network services among ESpanix’s 180+ connected networks, including Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Content Service Providers, and national and international carriers.

Amedeo Beck Peccoz, Head of Strategy, ESpanix, commented: “Our customers demand technology that is reliable and future-proof. Nokia’s solutions deliver the capacity and scalability we need to meet growing demand, enabling us to offer 400G connectivity to our members. With the support of Nokia, we not only become the most advanced IXP in the South Europe region, but our work together also aligns with our commitment to sustainability by reducing power consumption compared to traditional solutions.”

Matthieu Bourguignon, Senior Vice President and head of Europe for Network Infrastructure business at Nokia, said: “Offering 400G connectivity is a testament to ESpanix’s forward-thinking approach to interconnection services. As the leading provider of IXP services, our work together ensures they can meet rising demand in a simple, efficient, and sustainable manner. By leveraging Nokia’s high-capacity IP networking technologies, ESpanix is paving the way for a new standard in IXP services across Southern Europe.”
