Get to know Thailand IX, the co-host of Peering Asia 4.0
Who is Thailand IX?
Formerly known as a CAT National Internet Exchange (CAT NIX) service, Thailand IX (TH-IX) is an Internet exchange that serves as an infrastructure for customers in Thailand to connect to the Internet.
The service was previously provided over a 3-layer network supervised by CAT Telecom Public Company Limited (CAT Telecom).
In 2018, it was rebranded as Thailand IX (TH-IX), providing Internet exchange via a 2-layer network with peering members that are primarily Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
There are two service-providing data centers (main nodes): the CAT Tower Building in Bangrak, Bangkok, and Building 3 CAT in Mueng, Nonthaburi.
After a merger with TOT Public Company Limited (TOT), CAT Telecom Public Company Limited (CAT Telecom) is now known as National Telecommunication Company Limited (NT PLC).
As it was in the past, CAT Telecom Public Company Limited (CAT Telecom) is in charge of overseeing the Thailand IX (TH-IX) service.
