Port Fees

SwissIX has currently no recurring fees for the first 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps port, only a small yearly membership or participation fee. 10 Gbps ports have a port fee of 750 CHF/month; 100 Gbps ports come at 2600 CHF/month. Our sponsors made this possible along with the volunteer work of our board members and several others too. Thank you!

Our pricing in detail (July 1st, 2018):

• first 100 Mbps/1 Gbps port is free
• first 10 Gbps port is CHF 750 MRC
• any additional 100 Mbps/1 Gbps/10 Gbps port comes at CHF 400 MRC
• 100 Gbps ports are CHF 2600 MRC (Setup cost has to be quoted)

¹⁾ For 1 Gbps connections please ask if copper or fibre interfaces are available. Infrastructure is different in all locations. Fibre connections are only singlemode (9/125).

Redundant Ports

We encourage our members and participants with port speeds of 10 Gbps and above to connect to multiple core sites for redundancy reasons.
The following rules apply in order to receive one or multiple "redundant ports" at no additional cost:

• For each paid port (10 Gbps and above) you can get one free "redundant port" at a different core site.
• Aggregated traffic of all ports must stay below 80% (peak) of the total capacity of all paid ports.

Membership or Participation Fees

These fees may change if the general meeting sees a need.
