The world’s #1 connected IP backbone. The backbone for bold.
AS1299 is Arelion’s global internet backbone. It is ranked #1 globally for its connectivity, which means it can reach more of the internet more directly than any other single network.
The Internet is not one network. It is roughly 80,000 separate networks that interconnect to exchange traffic.
Each of those networks is an Autonomous System, identified by an AS number. Arelion’s is AS1299, also known as Twelve99.
When your data travels from around the world, it crosses multiple networks. Each handoff is a network hop. The number of hops, and the varying quality of the networks involved, directly affects speed and reliability.
AS1299 is consistently ranked #1 globally for its connectivity. In practical terms, it can reach more of the Internet directly and more reliably than any other single network.
When it comes to Internet backbones, connectivity is not an abstract metric. It changes business outcomes.
For enterprise networks, this shows up as better cloud performance, greater SaaS responsiveness, higher video quality, and dependable real-time data flows.
You're in control of your data. The backbone determines the path it takes to its destination, and how reliably traffic arrives.
Using a simple analogy: while you don't directly manage the motorway networks, they determine how reliably your goods and services arrive.
AS1299 is designed for fewer handoffs, stronger routing choices, and consistent performance at global scale.
Spanning over 80,000 km and serving customers in 129 countries, Arelion’s backbone connects North America, Europe, and Asia. AS1299 (Twelve99) is ranked number one globally for connectedness, meaning it can reach more of the internet more directly than any other single network. For enterprises, that translates into fewer hops, lower latency, and fewer points of failure, helping cloud, SaaS, and global applications perform consistently. This is the backbone for bold enterprises.
