No, all cross-connects are installed by PLIX DC.

Do you provide connectivity to other operators in the building?
Yes, we provide such connectivity. We lease fiber pairs in our own infrastructure in LIM building to floors -2, +1, +3, +3 (LIM PBX), +13 and +42. For our clients we also install additional cabling on a given floor in order to reach an operator to whom the client wants to connect to.

Access to the collocated equipment is possible at any time, provided it was requested prior to the visit. Our NOC works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the whole year.

Do you provide an emergency power supply?
