For Carriers

The shortcut into Mexico, under one MSA.

Extending a US network into Mexico used to take six months and three lawyers. We're the wholesale partner that turns that into thirty days and one signature, without sacrificing carrier-grade SLAs or the technical control your engineering team expects. Red52 and its affiliated operating entities have served Tier-1 US carriers continuously since 2011.

Everything a carrier needs to extend into the region.

Every service is delivered on the Red52 network, monitored by our 24/7 bilingual NOC, and backed by carrier-class SLAs. Bundle them or buy them à la carte. Your call.

IP Transit (1G–400G)

Settlement-free peering policy, multiple peering points across Dallas, Mexico City, Querétaro, and Frankfurt. Full BGP feeds, customer-defined communities, and an open peering door for qualified networks.

Wavelengths (1G–400G)

DWDM-based optical transport across our long-haul network, available as protected or unprotected services over OTN, LANPHY, or WANPHY interfaces. Custom channel plans on request.

Ethernet Private Lines (EPL)

Point-to-point Ethernet services at 10G and 100G, MEF-aligned, with optional jumbo MTU support and customer-controlled VLAN trunking. Ideal for carrier backhaul and inter-DC links.

NNI Handoffs (10G/100G)

Standard NNI handoffs at the major IXs we participate in and at our own PoPs, with a single MSA covering as many NNIs as you need. Common BGP communities supported, custom communities by request.

Dark Fiber

Both metro and long-haul dark fiber available on existing routes, plus custom builds where the route doesn't yet exist. Standard 36-month IRU pricing, with options for longer terms.

Cross-border infrastructure

Redundant physical fiber routes between northern Mexico and the United States, with onward connectivity into Dallas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Ashburn. Sub-second failover, no public-internet transit.

The details your network team will ask for first.

No discovery call required. Interconnection points, border crossings, routing identity, and typical route latencies, published up front so your engineers can qualify us before your sourcing team picks up the phone.

US interconnection points

  • Equinix Dallas, 1950 N. Stemmons Fwy (Dallas Infomart): NNIs at 10G and 100G
  • 2323 Bryan St, Dallas: NNIs at 10G and 100G
  • Additional meet points in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Ashburn, confirmed at scoping
  • Routing identity: AS28529, registered to our Mexican operating affiliate Red Five Two, S.A. de C.V.

Cross-border diversity

  • Physical crossings at Laredo, McAllen, and El Paso
  • Route diversity engineered against your existing footprint, including the heavily provisioned Laredo corridor
  • KMZ route files provided on request under NDA
  • Documented three-tier escalation matrix delivered at service activation

From NDA to live circuit, in five steps.

We've spent a lot of time stripping the friction out of carrier procurement, because carriers tell us we're the one wholesale partner whose process matches the urgency of their end-customer commitments.

1. NDA

Mutual NDA, standard template, 24-hour turnaround on our side.

2. Scoping

Call with sales engineering to confirm route, capacity, redundancy, and dependencies.

3. Pricing

MSA-form pricing in three business days for standard routes; custom routes scoped on the call.

4. MSA + Order

Executed against your existing wholesale MSA or a new Red52 MSA. Both work.

5. Delivery

Typical lead times: 30 days for in-place routes, 60–90 days for custom builds or cross-border.

What carriers ask us before they sign.

For NNIs at facilities where we already have a PoP and you already have a port, we typically deliver within 10–15 business days from signed order. New facilities or new ports on either side add 30–45 days for build-out. Cross-border NNIs follow the same timeline as long-haul routes, typically 60–90 days end to end.
Yes. 100G NNIs are standard at every major IX we participate in. 400G handoffs are available at our Dallas, Mexico City, and Querétaro PoPs, with capacity expansion planned at additional sites through the year. We'll confirm port availability during the scoping call.
We're an open-peering network for any operator running an ASN at major IXs we participate in (DE-CIX Dallas, IXP.MX, DE-CIX Frankfurt, and others). Settlement-free peering criteria are standard: comparable traffic ratios, multiple peering locations, and a published peering policy on your side. Specifics are shared under MNDA.
For carrier-of-carrier commitments above a certain volume threshold, yes. Our baseline SLAs (99.99% availability target, 4-hour committed MTTR, automatic credits) are firm for standard services, but enhanced SLAs with shorter MTTR commitments, expanded credit schedules, or premium-route routing options are available under multi-year commitments.
Yes. We share our standard wholesale MSA template under mutual NDA at the start of every engagement, and we're equally happy executing under your existing wholesale MSA if you'd prefer to bring your own paper. Both paths typically close within two weeks of NDA execution.
Yes, under MSA. Several of our largest wholesale customers resell Red52 capacity to their end customers under their own brand, including custom-branded NOC integration and SLA reporting. We treat these arrangements as strategic partnerships rather than transactional sales.
