Punjab Internet Exchange · LIX
A non-profit initiative by the Council of Computer Education Research and Training (CCERT) to keep Punjab’s internet traffic local—faster, affordable, and secure.
Why This Matters
Every email, video, or message sent within Punjab often travels hundreds of kilometers to Delhi or Mumbai before reaching another user in the same city. This wastes bandwidth, raises costs for Internet providers, and slows down everyday digital life.
The Ludhiana Internet Exchange (LIX) connects all networks within Punjab directly—keeping local traffic local.
The result of peering locally speaks for itself:
Our Vision
Our goal is to establish a statewide exchange fabric connecting Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, and Chandigarh—enabling data to stay within Punjab’s borders.
Through cooperation with local ISPs, universities, industries, and government networks, we aim to build a neutral platform that supports:
Reliable bandwidth for smart classrooms, online exams, and citizen services.
Lower latency pathways that attract new infrastructure investment.
Milliseconds saved mean smoother gameplay and HD media without buffering.
Creators and media houses publish once and serve audiences statewide instantly.
How It Works
Providers plug into our neutral switch fabric and exchange traffic within Punjab.
Networks such as Google, Meta, and Cloudflare host caches inside the state.
Lower latency, lower costs, and higher reliability for every resident and business.
LIX acts as the digital crossroads of Punjab—connecting networks, reducing dependency on metro cities, and improving digital self-reliance.
Social & Economic Impact
Transit savings for ISPs translate into affordable plans for households and businesses.
Statewide services respond in real time, from telemedicine to industrial IoT.
Schools, colleges, and e-learning platforms get reliable access to digital tools.
Factories, logistics hubs, and MSMEs run cloud apps without metro bottlenecks.
Keeping data within Punjab cuts the energy cost of long-distance routing.
