It serves as a neutral, non-profit entity that facilitates the exchange of local internet traffic among various internet service providers (ISPs) and network operators within the country. By keeping local traffic within Mali, MLIX aims to enhance internet performance, reduce latency, and lower operational costs for its members. The exchange is hosted in a neutral location that meets international standards for protection, management, and technical access. MLIX offers connections through 100 Megabit/s and 1 Gigabit/s Ethernet networks, ensuring robust and efficient data exchange.
