LMX CONNECT
Our Global Network
What is LMX CONNECT?
It's our network across the City of London and is at the core of everything we do. Its Media Quality, fully IP and optimised for the transit of broadcast Video, Audio and IP transit. Combined with our strategic alliances with Global providers, we can move your content wherever you need it.
On Net with global carriers such as Telstra, TATA and GTT and via our SDN (Software Defined Networking) connectivity, our customers can provision pop-up connectivity for event based usage, scale out to cloud services, and connect between data centres.
How does it work?
Dark Fibre - At the core of our London network is a dark fibre core. It is protected using diverse fibre routes around our two main London PoPs. One PoP is located in the West End, 500 metres from Soho and the other at the heart of the financial district in the Square Mile.
To make the most of this resource we split the dark fibre into multiple wavelengths. Each wavelength is a dedicated channel (or lane), and isolated from all the others. Each wavelength is capable of transporting Ethernet packets at any speed limited only by the equipment put on each end. Typically we run at data rates of 1Gbps, 10Gbps or 25Gbps.
Our solutions, allows us to achieve fibre connectivity between data centres, simply, cost-effectively and allows for rapid expansion. As the optical equipment (muxes) used is passive, meaning it consumes no power, this element has no reliance on power supplies, complex routing engines, and is not subject to network convergence events or traffic congestion.

LMX CONNECT FEATURES
Cloud Connect
& SDN
As your data and applications move to the cloud, you need reliable connectivity. Access your private and public cloud services securely and consistently with a direct cloud connect service from BMC with LMX Connect and LMX Cloud, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and IBM Cloud via Ethernet and IP VPN access to cloud network access points.
Dedicated Internet
Over the same connection we offer fast, dedicated internet access suitable for transferring large media assets to the wider world. We are on net with tier 1 Global IP transit providers and with private peering at the London Internet Exchange (LINX). We are a single hop from providers such as AWS, Azure, Google, JANET, Akamai, and Netflix with excellent route coverage across Europe, USA and Asia.
Virtual Network
Wires
To enable us to transport multiple services such as voice, video and data over a single circuit we use standard Ethernet Layer 2 VLANs to separate the traffic. It is secure and keeps the services separate from one another, enabling: simplicity, economy of scale, security, separation of service, low latency between sites and we enable customers to control their own IP addressing schema and routing
“LMX Connect, built on Dark Fibre is at the core of everything we do. This optical solution allows us to deliver services, securely, uncontended and with very low latency.”
Why LMX CONNECT?
Create Connections Quickly
Speed up your setup and simplify the process of building and deploying connections to the services you need. Quickly and easily create a network without the usual silos and complexity. Get connected to cloud services, managed services and data centres almost instantly. Move your workloads in real time so you can focus on what’s next.
Increased Reach
Connect to the cloud from wherever you are and transport your data between global locations easily. Get direct network access to the services you need even if you’re outside of a cloud on-ramp location or you’re nowhere near the data centres that house major providers. Just find your nearest Megaport point of presence. The rest is simple. Connect between metros, countries, and continents. Scale your business to new markets. Create a seamless multi-region network.
More flexibility
This new era of connectivity allows you to size your bandwidth up and down at any time. Match your connection speed with your workloads by increasing and decreasing bandwidth when you need. Our LMX solutions help your organisation flex your connectivity requirements more in-line with the normal business challenges as business grows and changes, your workflows change, a move away from the rigid traditional telco business models.
A Single Management Interface
Organise all of your connections from one place and bring your network together into an easy-to-use platform. Build hybrid, multicloud, cloud-to-cloud, and disaster recovery solutions with multiple connections to regional and global services. Instead of managing each resource separately, bring everything together into a seamless process. Go as complex as you want with your network architecture and then simplify everything else.
