The Greek Internet Exchange, GR-IX, continues to expand its interconnected community with the addition of Fibritel (ASN 203012) as its newest member.

The participation of Fibritel further enhances the growing GR-IX ecosystem, contributing to improved connectivity, reduced latency, and strengthened collaboration among network operators and technology providers.

GR-IX is the only neutral and independent Internet Exchange, with a mission to facilitate Internet traffic (IP) exchange and accelerate the growth of the Internet in Greece.

It is an important national infrastructure, as it connects the largest Internet companies in Greece, such as Internet service providers, content providers, and cloud service providers. GR-IX is owned by the National Infrastructures for Research and Technology (GRNET S.A.), which, as a non-profit public company, guarantees the neutrality and independence of the Internet Exchange.

GR-IX was founded in 2009 as the successor to the Athens Internet Exchange (AIX), which had been operating since 1999.
