BBIX Launches Global Expansion of Open Connectivity eXchange
Launches cloud connection hub in Singapore and OCX connection point in Thailand
BBIX, Inc. (“BBIX”), a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp. that operates an Internet Exchange (IX) business, announced the global expansion of its cloud-based network service, “Open Connectivity eXchange” (“OCX”), jointly provided with BBSakura Networks, Inc. (“BBSakura”), a network solutions provider and subsidiary of BBIX, in Singapore and Thailand. Service will commence on October 3, 2025
OCX is a Network as a Service (NaaS) platform that provides on-demand, highly secure, low-latency, and scalable connections to various cloud services and data centers. Through a dedicated customer portal, OCX eliminates the need for customers to purchase and maintain their own network equipment, enabling them to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
In Singapore, BBIX will establish a major cloud connection hub, providing customers in the Asia-Pacific region with efficient and secure access points to the world’s leading cloud providers, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
In Thailand, BBIX will establish an OCX connection point in collaboration with True Internet Data Center Co., Ltd. (“True IDC”). The service, offered through the joint venture BBIX (Thailand) Company Limited, will combine True IDC’s reliable, high-security data centers with OCX’s software-based approach to provide a fast and flexible network environment for customers.
The OCX platform will link Singapore’s global cloud connectivity with Thailand’s local data center connectivity, enabling customers to build and operate a hybrid IT infrastructure. This infrastructure will combine their own robust physical facilities with high-performance major clouds such as OCI and AWS for AI development and foundational systems, all available on-demand from a single interface.
“Secure, low-latency connectivity is critical as organizations across the Asia-Pacific region accelerate their adoption of cloud and AI,” said Lalit Malik, group vice president, Alliances & Channels, Oracle Asia Pacific. “Through BBIX’s expanded OCX, organizations in Singapore and Thailand can connect directly to OCI, helping ensure high performance and availability for their applications and services. Organizations can also adopt this as part of their multicloud strategy, to simplify operations, strengthen resilience, and scale innovation, while maintaining the flexibility to run each workload where it performs best.”
