What PIT does
PIT (formerly Peru IX) is a neutral Internet Exchange Point (IXP) operator founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lima, Peru. The company builds and operates distributed Layer 2 interconnection infrastructure using a Spine & Leaf architecture across multiple datacenters in Latin America, currently active in at least seven countries (Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Argentina, Mexico, and Venezuela) with additional presence planned in Panama and other Central American/Caribbean markets. Its core products include PIT Peering (a multilateral traffic exchange service supporting speeds up to 400 Gbps with 1ms latency), PIT Cache (local caching of frequently accessed content), Virtual PNI (private network interconnection), PIT Connect, and Asesorias (advisory services). The platform routes traffic from over 100 member networks including hyperscaler content providers (AWS, Google, Meta, Apple, Netflix, Akamai, Cloudflare, Microsoft Azure) and regional ISPs, carriers, and CDNs.
PIT generates revenue through subscription-based, multi-year contracts with its 100+ ISP, carrier, and CDN members who pay for interconnection access. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, but the company positions its peering service as delivering up to 60-70% cost savings relative to traditional IP transit. Its go-to-market is enterprise-led, combining direct field sales, WhatsApp-based inside sales, technical consultation, and ecosystem-building through industry events (LACNIC, FITELVEN, Global Peering Forum). By 2025, the platform was exchanging more than 5 Tbps of traffic in Peru alone and over 2 Tbps in Colombia, with a distributed footprint of 20+ nodes across seven Peruvian cities and additional metro coverage in Buenos Aires, Quito, Guatemala City, and Bogota. The company is privately held and founder-led by CEO Salvador Bertenbreiter, with no disclosed external funding rounds.

PIT partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.
- GooglecorePIT achieved Google Gold Verified Peering Provider status, recognizing the quality, redundancy and reach of PIT's private connectivity to Google's edge network. This enables ISPs to access all Google public services including Google Workspace, Google Cloud APIs, Cloud VPN, and YouTube through simplified extended peering, without managing direct peering complexity.
- IXP.GT (Guatemala IXP)corePIT acquired and integrated the IXP.GT ecosystem in early 2024, accelerating the development of Guatemala's peering ecosystem and bringing it to major ISPs in the country.
- LACNIC (Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry)corePIT actively participates in LACNIC events (LACNIC 2019, 2023, 2024, and upcoming LACNIC 44 and 45). CEO Salvador Bertenbreiter presented on IXP importance for efficient and resilient Internet in the region. LACNIC provides the ASN registry services required by PIT members.
- FITELVEN (Foro de Internet de Venezuela)corePIT participated in FITELVEN 2023 and 2024, strengthening ties with public and private sector actors in Venezuela. This partnership reinforces PIT's role in regional articulation and promotion of a more robust and decentralized Internet in Latin America.

PIT competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- IX.br (Brazilian IXP): Brazil's leading neutral IXP, operated by NIC.br. Closest geographic peer to PIT in Latin America, providing peering infrastructure across Brazilian cities and connecting local ISPs and content providers — analogous to PIT's role in the Andean and Central American markets.
- CABASE: Argentina's Internet industry chamber operating multiple neutral IXPs across the country. Directly comparable to PIT Argentina and competes with PIT for the Argentine peering market using the same neutral IXP model.
- Netnod: Nordic neutral IXP and DNS operator running multiple exchanges in the Nordics with route servers and peering services. Comparable to PIT in the neutral IXP model and multi-metro redundancy approach, though focused on Northern Europe rather than LatAm.
- France-IX: France's primary neutral Internet Exchange providing peering and interconnection services to ISPs, carriers and content providers. Directly comparable to PIT in business model and customer mix, though serving the French market rather than Latin America.
- AMS-IX: Amsterdam-based neutral Internet Exchange operating multiple global PoPs. Comparable to PIT as a multi-location neutral IXP serving a mix of ISPs, carriers and hyperscalers with peering and interconnection services.
- LINX (London Internet Exchange): Major neutral IXP operator in London with global interconnection services. Directly comparable to PIT as a member-driven, non-profit-equivalent neutral exchange platform connecting ISPs, CDNs and content providers via route servers and peering infrastructure.
- DE-CIX: One of the world's largest neutral IXP operators running multiple exchanges globally. Directly comparable to PIT in business model (neutral Layer 2 IX, multi-location route servers, peering for ISPs and content providers), though DE-CIX operates at much larger scale across EMEA and North America.
Broad incumbents
- Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection giant whose Equinix Internet Exchange and ECX fabric deliver neutral peering alongside much broader data center services. Operates at far larger scale than PIT and offers overlapping IX capabilities as part of a global interconnection platform.
- CoreSite (an American Tower company): US-focused interconnection-focused colocation provider with Open Cloud Exchange capabilities. Comparable to PIT's colocation-meets-interconnection model but at much larger scale and primarily US footprint, serving similar carrier and content provider customers.
Emerging players
- EdgeIX: Smaller neutral IXP operator focused on emerging markets with distributed peering infrastructure. Comparable to PIT as a smaller, multi-country IXP targeting emerging-market ISPs and content providers with neutral peering services.
