NSCIX — Arkansas's community Internet Exchange
dual transit + transport
in Arkansas today
with zero local peering
bypassing the state
Three ways to be part of it.
NSCIX is a neutral fabric. Whether you run a network, deliver content, or care about Arkansas's internet future — there's a path in.
ISPs, WISPs, enterprises — anyone with an ASN. Connect once, peer with everyone. Cut transit costs, drop latency, keep money in state. Discounted rates for K-12, higher ed, and research networks.
Get connected →Cache popular content at the Arkansas edge. One rack in Little Rock reaches every ISP in the state. Netflix OCA, Google GGC, Microsoft Connected Cache — all welcome.
Deploy at NSCIX →Faster, cheaper, more resilient internet for the state. Read the story, support the mission, help spread the word about internet infrastructure that stays home.
Learn the story →Local traffic. Long-distance bills.
Two ISPs a mile apart in Little Rock exchange traffic through Dallas. A stream from a Fayetteville home to a Fayetteville business goes to Kansas City first. A CDN cache in Atlanta serves every Arkansas customer, adding hundreds of miles of round-trip on every request.
The result: latency you feel, resilience you don't have, and tens of thousands of dollars per ISP leaving the state every month for the privilege of exchanging traffic that never needed to leave.
Every hop out of state is a check written to somebody else's network. Peering locally keeps the traffic — and the money — in Arkansas.
Peer once. Save monthly.
Three steps from "we should join" to "our transit bill dropped."
Connect
Bring fiber to our Little Rock facility (or use a partner carrier). One 10G or 100G port — that's your ticket to the whole fabric.
Peer
Establish BGP sessions with every other member and every content partner over the neutral fabric. No bilateral negotiation, no gatekeeping.
Save
Traffic that used to route through Dallas now stays local. Watch your transit bill drop and your latency graphs flatten. Pay only the annual fee.
A non-profit, community-governed exchange.
Built by Arkansas natives with 20+ years of combined networking experience. Every dollar goes to operations — no founder salaries, no investor returns.
The fabric is up. Let's get you on it.
