The Uganda Internet Exchange Point (UIXP) is a non-profit Internet exchange point operator founded in 2001 with the goal of improving Internet connectivity within Uganda and the East African region, and is the only known internet exchange point in Uganda.[1][2]
Its peering infrastructure enables networks to directly interconnect and exchange data traffic at a common point. This provides an efficient alternative to Internet transit.[3][4]
