For Buyers

Maximize purchasing opportunities while reducing overhead expenses

Arbinet offers telecommunications providers the flexibility to buy global routes based on price, quality or a combination of both. Members choose SelectVoice^sm to buy from sellers with the best quality routes available on the thexchange^sm. Arbinet rates each route, based on the quality of the most recent flow of traffic, and applies a quality metric called thexchange Quality Index^sm(TQI). This information is updated regularly and can be viewed in MarketView^sm, a web-based tool for Members on thexchange.

Members also have the option of choosing DirectAxcess^sm to route retail quality traffic directly to the in-country PTT or Tier-1 carrier.

Increase Profitability
MarketAxcess^sm on thexchange^sm offers Members better pricing opportunities by providing them a wide variety of choices from the world’s largest communications marketplace. With Arbinet’s single interconnect to the world, Members can also increase network utilization by reducing the number of interconnections.
