Initially UAE-IX provided two options to get connected, with a Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbit/s) port. With 80 regional and global customers connected to UAE-IX, the internet exchange exceeded 100 Gbit/s peak traffic in September 2018 and an additional port option for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100 Gbit/s) was added.
