RFNow joins MBIX

MBIX is pleased to announce its newest connected member, RFNow.

RFNow is an ISP based in Virden, Manitoba. They provide a variety of wireless and fibre optic services in Western Manitoba and Eastern Saskatchewan.

AS46920 is connected at 10 Gbps, and are peering with the route servers.

We’re happy that their customers are now better connected–to other Manitoba networks, and to the other services present at MBIX.

Swift High Speed connects to MBIX

Swift High Speed, a wireless ISP in south-eastern Manitoba, has connected to MBIX. This is the result of much work over the past months in network upgrades and expansion.

They’ve connected their router at 1 Gbps to the core switch, and set up BGP on IPv4 to both route servers.  IPv6 isn’t happening yet, but is planned for the future.

IP addressing details are available on the peers page, as usual.

Welcome aboard, Swift.

Fiber.ca joins MBIX

Manitoba’s newest registered autonomous system, AS18534, has joined MBIX.

Fiber.ca has connected at 1Gbps on fiber (naturally), and are peering on IPv4 with the route servers. IPv6 is not yet ready, but will happen in the future surely.

It’s great to see additional ASes starting up in Manitoba, and it’s great again when they connect to MBIX.

MRNet now conected to MBIX

MBIX is pleased to announce that MRNet, the Manitoba Research Network, has connected to MBIX, and is now peering on IPv4 and IPv6. It should be pointed out that MRNet actually joined at the end of August, making this post delayed from actual connection time.

MRNet has connected at 1 Gbps, but after an equipment upgrade, plans to upgrade to 10 Gbps.

MRNet connects many educational and research organizations to the exchange:

We are glad to have MRNet and its member networks so directly connected, and at high-capacity. ftp.muug.mb.ca is faster than ever.
