MarketAxcess on thexchange

Use thexchange platform to buy and sell global voice traffic

Many international carriers find that managing traffic flow to numerous global termination points is costly and time consuming. They must negotiate lengthy contracts with multiple partners or vendors, process hundreds of orders a day, and manage multiple switch locations with hundreds of interconnects. This translates into increased facilities, capital, operational and administrative costs as well as increased financial risk.

thexchange^sm is a neutral, anonymous marketplace where Members trade, route, manage and settle voice traffic with the technology and service support of a world-class organization. With just a single connection to thexchange, MarketAxcess on thexchange^sm provides exceptional choice and opportunity in connecting to the world.
