What is IXP Farm?

IXP Farm is a pioneering decentralized middle-mile network designed to revolutionize internet routing at the community level by leveraging strategically placed Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). This innovative platform empowers localities to control their internet routing, fostering local innovation, economic growth, and robust connectivity. Founded by technology leaders from Alabama, IXP Farm represents a visionary public-private partnership that transcends social, racial, and political boundaries. This initiative aims to bridge the digital divide through digital inclusion and equitable access to high-speed internet.

  • Resilient: Our platform offers a fully self-healing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) mesh network that ensures reliability and flexibility. This means businesses and community members can enjoy uninterrupted connectivity and diverse service options without being locked into a single provider.
  • Strategic: By leveraging existing fiber infrastructure, IXP Farm optimizes previous state and federal investments. This strategic use of resources reduces the need for new construction, saving costs and minimizing environmental impact while expanding internet reach.
  • Local: By bringing IXPs to the local level, we empower communities to manage their internet routing, enhancing local control and fostering innovation. This localized approach not only improves connectivity but also supports local economies by attracting businesses that require robust internet access.
