edit Northwest Access Exchange

NWAX is a neutral regional Internet exchange connecting networks that are global, regional and local. They provide state-of-the-art layer 2/3 Ethernet switch-routers, operating at gigabit speeds. Their objective is to maximize the value of high-speed connections, while enabling users to access services and partners at three great data centers with one connection. They also save transit costs and get rid off expensive, dedicated circuits.
