IP Transit

As the world's #1 ranked global Tier-1 Internet backbone, we ensure a direct route between content and end-users. AS1299, our global Autonomous System, is a network built for reliability and uptime. With our IP customer base accounting for more than half of all Internet routes and a highly evolved Tier-1 network peering ecosystem, your traffic is given a clear path to its destination.

World’s best-connected
Zero congestion
BGP expertise

Access to the shortest Internet service paths

We own and operate our global fiber backbone – stretching 75,000km across Europe, North America, and Asia, ensuring fast, uninterrupted paths between more than 350 PoPs (Points of Presence) throughout 120 cities worldwide. We interconnect eyeball networks to content networks with minimal hops, by providing access to an extensive number of direct connections and the full global routing table.

Avoid network congestion

We built our backbone on our own fiber network, with almost unlimited capacity - avoiding congestion and allowing for future growth. We have almost three decades of experience from providing the world’s biggest content distributors, ISPs, service, and hyperscalers with high-bandwidth, mission-critical IP transit capacity.

Carrier-grade IP Transit

Our BGP knowledge and expertise, together with formidable backbone capacity reserves, ensures cost-effective connectivity in the volatile and unpredictable Internet traffic environment. Our SLA offer adds carrier-grade service quality to the flexibility of Internet connectivity.

Using our global IP backbone, we offer three route options:

  • Global Connect
  • Euro Connect
  • Content Connect

All connectivity options are available in the IPv4 and IPv6 domains.

Jan Doricak, IT&Cyber Security Manager

With millions of end-users, for whom the word ‘interruption’ simply doesn’t exist, established network solutions don’t always cut it. That’s why we created our own (...) delivery platform and needed a network partner with not only a solid backbone, but also the right mindset and understanding to support our rapid and often unpredictable growth trajectory.
