What is Twilio Interconnect?

Twilio Interconnect represents a powerful, private link to the Twilio cloud, functioning like a dedicated express lane in the vast digital highway. This specialized connection ensures a smooth, uninterrupted flow of data and communications between your systems and Twilio's extensive range of services. This connection is established through physical infrastructure strategically located around the world, offering improved security and reduced latency.

We offer three flavors of connectivity:

1. Cross Connect - a physical connection via a fiber cable between your networking equipment and Twilio’s cloud in one of Twilio’s global data center locations.
2. Third Party Exchange - a virtual connection that allows participants to exchange traffic without touching the public Internet.
3. Virtual Private Network (VPN) - a virtual point-to-point connection to Twilio with IPSec tunnels that provide the functionality, security, and management policies of a private network.
