The SGIX, a platform for providers to converge and share information, aims to provide local and foreign telecommunications service providers with a neutral and highly-efficient facility for the exchange of internet traffic.
It will also improve the broadband quality and speeds in Singapore, said Acting Minister for Information, Communication and the Arts Lui Tuck Yew at the launch at IMBX 2010 on Tuesday morning.
'The two operational nodes of the SGIX are envisioned to exchange up to 50 per cent of local internet traffic among its members,' he added.
