NNENIX - Northern New England Neutral Internet Exchange

The Northern New England Neutral Internet Exchange (NNENIX) is a not-for-profit Internet Exchange (IX) serving the Northern New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. NNENIX provides a network fabric and physical location where Internet network operators and enterprises can peer, or pass Internet traffic between each other's networks in a more optimized way. Unlike an Internet Service Provider (ISP), NNENIX does not compete with ISPs or telecommunications carriers. Instead, it serves as a connectivity resource for ISPs, content providers, government, education, healthcare, and commercial enterprise networks.

NNENIX aims to attract major Internet carriers and content distribution networks to the Northern New England market, improving overall Internet speeds, reducing bandwidth costs, and increasing the reliability and resiliency of the Internet for its members and the general public. NNENIX is incorporated as a non-profit in the state of Maine and is organized as a membership organization governed by a board of directors elected by its members. The exchange is fully operational, with locations in Portland and Orono, Maine.
