PIT Chile

What PIT Chile does

PIT Chile is a neutral Internet Exchange Point (IXP) founded in 2016 and headquartered in Santiago, Chile, that operates the dominant domestic traffic-exchange platform handling approximately 90% of Chile's national internet traffic and ranking as the second-largest IXP in the Americas by traffic volume after São Paulo. The company operates 15+ nodes across Santiago plus regional nodes in Concepción, Temuco, and Arica, with international Points of Presence in Miami, New Jersey, and Ashburn, Virginia. Its platform interconnects 151 autonomous systems across 368 ports with aggregate capacity of 30.6 Tbps, supporting IPv4 and IPv6 peering.

The company's technology stack centers on a Layer 2 Ethernet fabric with DWDM transport (200 Gbps lambdas over three diverse fiber paths) and full redundancy at the fiber, transport, and switching layers. Core services include BGP route servers operating as proxies that eliminate the need for bilateral peering, RPKI origin validation for route security, BGP communities for traffic engineering, and a recursive DNS service with DNSSEC support. PIT Chile also operates a Cloud Exchange providing direct, low-latency connectivity to Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle. Notable enterprise members include Entel, Claro Chile, WOM, Microsoft, Google, Netflix, Amazon, Twitch, SpaceX/Starlink, Riot Games, and Mundo Telecomunicaciones.

PIT Chile generates revenue primarily through recurring membership and port-capacity subscription fees charged to ISPs, telecom operators, content providers, and cloud hyperscalers, supplemented by managed-service fees from the Cloud Exchange. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; ports are offered at capacities ranging from 1 Gbps to 500 Gbps. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds and operates with 11–50 employees under recently refreshed leadership: General Manager Fernando Clavijo Saldaña (appointed November 2025) and CTO Hernán Moguilevsky (appointed February 2026).

• GTD (Data Center Panamericana)coreTechnology or Integration · 12 February 2024PIT Chile inaugurated a Point of Presence (PoP) in GTD's Data Center Panamericana located in Conchalí, Santiago. The Tier III certified facility provides PIT Chile with low latency and guaranteed high bandwidth connectivity. This partnership enables access to Google Cloud (GCP) services and fulfills PIT Chile's commitment to be present in every data center where local cloud exists.
• Data Center Operators in Ashburn, VirginiacoreTechnology or Integration · 12 February 2024PIT Chile's third US PoP opened in Ashburn, Virginia, a major global data center hub. This expands PIT Chile's US presence alongside Miami and New Jersey, enabling 123 ms latency to Santiago and improved cloud connectivity for customers.
• ITU (International Telecoms Union) / Subtel / USACH / CSIRTcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 23 September 2023PIT Chile participated in the 12th Regional Cyberdrill organized by ITU, with CTO Iván Zilic speaking on telecommunications network resilience in a cyber-dependent world. The event addressed cybersecurity for critical infrastructure, AI in security, and cyber incident simulation labs.

• DE-CIX: One of the world's largest IXPs, headquartered in Frankfurt with global PoPs. Operates a comparable model of carrier-neutral interconnection, route servers, and cloud exchange services, and is the primary global benchmark for IXP operational scale.
• LINX (London Internet Exchange): One of the largest IXPs globally and a member-owned neutral exchange. Highly comparable to PIT Chile in operating model, including route servers, public traffic statistics, and tiered port-based membership.
• IX.br (NIC.br): Brazilian Internet Exchange managed by NIC.br; the largest IXP in the Americas and the regional benchmark PIT Chile is measured against. Both operate as neutral IXPs with route servers, cloud exchange services, and Latin American carrier memberships.

Emerging players

• EdgeUno: Latin American-focused cloud and interconnection provider operating data centers and cloud on-ramps across the region. Competes with PIT Chile's Cloud Exchange for enterprise multi-cloud connectivity demand in Latin America.
• Equinix Internet Exchange (formerly known as IX-as-a-Service): Equinix-operated distributed IXP service that competes for IXP-style traffic exchange at colocation facilities where PIT Chile also has nodes (e.g., Miami, Ashburn). Represents a private, distributed alternative to traditional single-jurisdiction IXPs.

Broad incumbents

• Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection giant whose Equinix Fabric enables direct cloud and network cross-connects comparable to PIT Chile's Cloud Exchange. Competes indirectly as a comprehensive interconnection platform serving many of the same hyperscaler and carrier customers.
• Lumen Technologies (formerly Level 3 / CenturyLink): Global carrier operating one of PIT Chile's Santiago nodes ('L3') and providing wholesale IP transit and cloud connectivity. Competes with PIT Chile's Cloud Exchange at the wholesale carrier services layer while also being a member/customer.

Regional players

• CABASE (Argentina IXP): Argentine IXP federation serving as the primary neutral exchange in Argentina. Geographic and linguistic adjacency makes it the most direct competitor for capturing carrier traffic between Chile and Argentina.
• NAP Colombia (IXP Colombia): Colombian neutral IXP providing traffic exchange and cloud interconnect in Bogotá. Competes with PIT Chile for cross-border Latin American content and carrier traffic flows, particularly along the Pacific corridor.
