MIRhosting Is Now the Official SpeedIX Partner in Frankfurt (Equinix FR5/FR7)
Frankfurt offers plenty of peering choices - and each comes with its own trade-offs. Some platforms are great for local traffic. Larger international exchanges provide broader reach, often with a different cost model.
This partnership is meant to keep things practical: easy entry in Frankfurt, and a clean path to Amsterdam when it makes sense for your architecture.
MIRhosting is now the official SpeedIX representative in Frankfurt, making SpeedIX accessible via our infrastructure at Equinix FR5 and FR7.
What this enables for networks in Frankfurt
1) Free 10G peering ports
With SpeedIX via MIRhosting, you get 10G peering port access at no cost, with no recurring fees or setup charges as stated in the announcement. It’s a straightforward way to start peering quickly - or expand existing sessions without friction.
2) L2 transport Frankfurt ↔ Amsterdam
If your network spans both hubs (or you want that option), we provide Layer-2 transport from Frankfurt to Amsterdam over our DWDM backbone. The goal is simple: keep the transport layer tidy, instead of growing a chain of one-off circuits.
3) Open peering model and simple upgrades
SpeedIX follows an open peering model - members can peer locally or beyond within the community and exchange services. And when you need more capacity, upgrades are available upon request, without redesigning the whole setup.
Who this is for
This setup is a strong fit if you:
- operate in Frankfurt and want a practical IX option with a low barrier to entry,
- need Amsterdam connectivity as part of the same network logic,
- prefer solutions that stay clean as the network grows.
How to get started
The process is intentionally simple:
- Apply for SpeedIX membership
- Choose the PoP at Equinix FR5 or FR7 (Frankfurt)
- MIRhosting supports provisioning and configuration
If you want help with the “boring but important” parts - VLAN/L2 design, handoff format, or how to integrate this into your transport - just mention it. We’ll propose a setup you can operate comfortably.
