We’re excited to confirm that the long-awaited upgrade to the Christchurch Internet Exchange (CHC-IX) is officially underway!
New hardware has been staged at both datacentre sites, setting the stage for a significant leap forward — boosting maximum port capacity from 40Gbps to a lightning-fast 100Gbps. This upgrade not only modernises the exchange infrastructure but also future-proofs CHC-IX to support the continued growth and demands of the South Island’s internet ecosystem.
At this point, we’re just waiting on the final delivery of new, diverse dark fibre paths. Once in place, we’ll begin working through our carefully planned migration strategy to transition members to the upgraded hardware.
Stay tuned for the official upgrade announcement and maintenance window — exciting times ahead for CHC-IX!
