A United Front for National Connectivity in Rome

Pubblished 2026

Italian Internet Exchange Points collaborate to build a robust, federated infrastructure.

The latest RMNOG gathering in Rome served as a powerful testament to the strength and collaborative spirit of the local network operator community. The event was particularly notable for the strong representation of Italy’s leading Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), showcasing a united front dedicated to national connectivity.

Representatives from Namex, MIX, TOP-IX, and the newly established Ge-DIX came together to highlight the critical importance of collaboration in a hyper-interconnected landscape. The core discussions focused on how federated services and robust, decentralized peering directly benefit the entire Italian internet infrastructure—from small, regional ISPs to major international carriers.

Collaboration is the true heartbeat of a stable internet. Technical talks and informal hallway conversations are the sparks that ignite real, nationwide innovation.
