SANTA BARBARA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OSI Global today announced that its optical transceivers are supporting the first 400G member connection deployed at the Ohio Internet Exchange (Ohio IX). The connection was established by Com Net, Inc. (CNI), making CNI the first network operator to bring 400G connectivity to the exchange.
The deployment represents a significant step forward for regional internet infrastructure, enabling increased capacity and improved performance for networks peering at Ohio IX as demand for bandwidth continues to grow.
OSI Global supplied the optical transceivers used in the deployment, providing high-performance connectivity between CNI’s infrastructure and the Ohio IX switching platform.
“Deploying the first 400G connection at Ohio IX is an important milestone for the exchange and the networks connected to it,” said Aaron Holtz, CEO of Com Net, Inc. (CNI). “This upgrade allows us to deliver significantly greater capacity while continuing to support the reliability and performance our customers expect.”
The connection operates on Arista Networks core switching infrastructure, enabling CNI to support higher traffic volumes and scale interconnection capacity as network demand continues to expand.
“We were excited to support CNI as they brought the first 400G connection online at Ohio IX,” said Jared Ingram, Senior Account Manager at OSI Global. “High-capacity optics like this allow networks to scale quickly while maintaining the performance and reliability required for critical infrastructure.”
The milestone reflects the continued evolution of internet exchanges as operators upgrade interconnection capacity to keep pace with increasing traffic driven by cloud services, streaming, and AI workloads.
