At CIX, as well as building a data centre, we have erected a 24m mast. Space will be available for rent on this mast. The mast is at Lat: 51.903564°, Long: -8.512341° at a ground elevation of 112m and rising 24m above ground level.

We believe that this mast is unique in the region. It will have complete redundancy around power and Internet connectivity. And the mast is situated with incredible line-of-sight for most of its 24m height in 360 degrees.

The following photos were taken from 20m up on the mast
