Summary
Telxius (Telefónica)
transit backbone wholesale
Telxius (TELXIUS TELEFONICA GLOBAL SOLUTIONS) is Telefónica's international
wholesale carrier, running a global IP backbone and one of the world's largest
submarine-cable networks.
What it's used for
- Wholesale IP transit and capacity sold to carriers, ISPs, and content networks.
- Operating major subsea cable systems (e.g. MAREA, BRUSA, Tannat) linking the Americas, Europe, and beyond.
Notable
- This is Telefónica's international / wholesale arm, distinct from its national consumer ISPs and mobile operators (e.g. Movistar). A low announced end-user footprint is normal for a wholesale carrier.
- An IP here is usually a mid-path transit hop or carrier infrastructure, not an end user.
Interesting
- Telxius carries a large share of the Telefónica group's Latin America–Europe traffic and sells capacity on marquee transatlantic cables such as MAREA.
