Question 1

What is an internet exchange point (IXP)?

Accepted Answer

An internet exchange point is a neutral location where networks, cloud providers, and content providers connect directly to exchange traffic locally, called peering. Connecting to an IXP lowers cost, reduces latency, and improves resilience. TAG Fiber builds the neutral fiber that connects businesses to the exchange.

Question 2

What is TAG Fiber?

Accepted Answer

TAG Fiber is a neutral, carrier-agnostic fiber infrastructure company. It builds dark fiber and conduit that internet providers, businesses, and institutions lease and light themselves — providing wholesale connectivity, secure peering, and AI-ready networks, starting in Kansas.

AI inference, agentic traffic, and industrial IoT need low-latency, secure, local interconnection that the public internet, built for human-paced traffic, cannot reliably deliver.
