HOW DID YOU HEAR OF NETIX?
NetIX really captured our attention after winning ‘Best Internet Exchange’ at the 2018 Global Carrier Awards hosted by Capacity Media.

At NJFX, we have a responsibility to our customers to source and partner with the best networks that can offer high-quality services and solutions, and NetIX fits that criteria.
THE CHALLENGES:
