BICS named ‘Established Leader’ in global IPX market by Juniper Research

Brussels – 24^th August 2026 – BICS, a Proximus Global company and leading international communications enabler, has been recognized as an ‘Established Leader’ in the global IP Exchange (IPX) market by Juniper Research in its IPX Competitor Leaderboard 2026. The ranking places BICS among the top vendors worldwide and underlines its global scale in one of the most critical layers of international communications.

The Juniper Research IPX Competitor Leaderboard ranked 16 vendors based on traffic volumes, network reach, automation capabilities, and 5G Standalone (SA) roaming readiness. BICS’ recognition as an ‘Established Leader’ builds on its earlier ranking this year as the ‘Global Leader’ in Juniper Research’s Sponsored Roaming Competitor Leaderboard 2026.

The ranking reflects the reach of BICS’ network, which connects operators, enterprises, and IoT players through a single interconnection platform. With more than 700 operator connections and 143 points of presence, BICS operates one of the world’s largest wholesale communications platforms, reaching more than 5 billion subscribers.

Jaymy Teh, VP Connect Product, Proximus Global, says:

IPX is evolving beyond its traditional role into a secure, intelligent and automated interconnection platform. As 5G Standalone roaming scales, IPX providers will play a critical role in simplifying interoperability, automating interconnection and security management, strengthening fraud and signaling protection, and connecting operators to new ecosystems including IoT, satellite, and private networks.

As connectivity evolves toward 5G Standalone, IoT, and satellite-enabled services, IPX is becoming a foundational layer of global digital communications, carrying the secure, high-quality traffic on which operators and enterprises depend. BICS continues to invest in the capabilities that will define the next generation of the market, including cloud-native signaling, Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP), and secure 5G SA roaming. For more information, visit our dedicated webpage, here.
