Connected Nation Launches Kansas's First Internet Exchange Point at Wichita State University

The groundbreaking of Kansas's inaugural carrier-neutral Internet Exchange Point (IXP) was celebrated by Connected Nation and Wichita State University officials. The IXP, funded by a $5 million grant, will enhance high-speed connectivity across the state, serving as a central hub for local and regional networks. It aims to provide the highest-quality internet service with lower costs and improved efficiency. The project signifies a major investment in the state's digital future, expected to bolster the economy and benefit residents with faster internet access.

This groundbreaking marks a transformative step forward for Kansas's digital future. With this IXP, we're building more than just a facility—we're building the foundation for faster, more affordable, and more secure internet across the region.

Implementing access to this IXP will create shorter routes for internet traffic, which can lower costs for everyone. We are going to see more affordable alternatives to sending local internet traffic abroad.
