Network features

Engineered for the worst-case scenario.

We can't control the rest of the Internet — so we overbuilt our half of it and put an AI in charge of the routing.

AI-optimized routing

A neural system built by our engineers monitors the network in real time and re-routes on latency, packet loss and jitter — always the most optimum path to each subnet.

100 / 400G DWDM backbone

Our own redundant 100/400 Gbps DWDM core spans Europe and the US — not a shared commodity backbone you rent by the port.

Geo-redundant by design

The entire backbone is backed up by multiple geo-redundant links. Lose a path and traffic reconverges on another instantly.

Zero congestion

We keep ample backbone capacity available at all times — headroom for traffic bursts so links between any two points never congest.

Direct routes

Reach your customers directly, no matter the ISP. 3,600+ direct peers mean the shortest hop — forget about chronic transit congestion.

24/7 monitoring

We permanently monitor the paths to end customers to ensure the best-quality connections — with engineers on-site around the clock.

AI optimization

The route is chosen per packet, in real time.

Our AI optimization neural system continuously measures latency, packet loss, jitter and other learnt analytics across every peer and transit path, then steers traffic onto whichever route is performing best right now. We keep spare backbone capacity idle on purpose, so there's always somewhere clean to send a burst.
