The SCAX — the South Coast's own exchange.
600Amps commissioned and hosts the first internet peering exchange point on the Southern Oregon Coast.
600Amps Internet Services is proud to have commissioned and to host the first internet peering exchange point on the Southern Oregon Coast. South Coast Access Exchange (The SCAX) is a neutral meet point for carriers and internet providers to interconnect with each other locally, for the purpose of converging local internet traffic and keeping it within the region.
This saves every carrier and internet provider in the area capacity on long-haul links out of the area, preventing unnecessary congestion and improving the internet experience for everyone — while adding resiliency for all exchange participants.
