Robust, Reliable Network Design
Our Global IP Network is consistently ranked among the top networks worldwide. We own and operate one of the world’s largest Tier 1 global IP backbones, fully upgraded and built with diversity to ensure availability of services. Our network is renowned for both the quality and the teams that help design, operate and support it. 100% availability, with no outages – that’s the goal of our network design. This helps keep the network up, running and reliable in the event of any fiber cuts.
Quality of Service
Our SLAs lead the industry. We even introduced the first SLA for jitter. But it’s not enough these days to just offer industry-leading SLAs that are financially backed by one of the largest communications companies in the world. The difference is the engineering staff standing behind them to ensure the highest quality of network access you can buy. From the time your company becomes a customer, you’ll interface only with engineers through provisioning and support—people who understand your needs and technology.
Fast Provisioning
We are well known for rapid provisioning, often far faster than the time it takes most of our competitors. This is critical for businesses trying to order upgrades and connections just in time. We’ll connect you at faster speeds while establishing a flexible path for future upgrades if you decide you need more bandwidth down the road. Our Dedicated Access services are off the shelf, ready to quote, and our provisioning is always staffed with engineers who are ready to accelerate your connection.
24x7x365 Support
Our Global IP Network is always open for business and our Dedicated Access services are backed by industry leading SLAs, 24×7365. Access to a near real-time online control panel allows you to view your network usage statistics and patterns any time, day or night. Our Network Operations Center (NOC) performs around the clock monitoring of your network. Call at any hour and you’ll speak directly with an engineer who knows your network inside and out.

IP Transit Use Case
Alabama Fiber Network (AFN) formed as a collaborative initiative between eight local electrical cooperatives in 2022 to meet this need, backed by support from grant funding. The consortium needed reliable and high-quality IP transit to support the network, ultimately selecting NTT DATA’s Tier 1 Global IP Network as a partner for the purpose.
Technical & Security Highlights
Pioneering Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Technology
We are ahead of the game on SDN, and with unparalleled experience. Why? Because we have used our own internally built SDN technology to manage our Global IP Network for two decades. SDN has given us many benefits – more automation, efficiency, scale, speed, simplified network expansion, upgrades, and maintenance.
Industry-Leading Border Gateway Protocols (BGP) Communities
We offer unbeatable BGP community support and strive to be transparent about the routing policies and BGP communities we provide. Here are a few examples of what you can alter on the network by using our communities.
- Local preference
- AS prepending to selected peers
- AS prepending to all clients
- Blackhole and selective blackhole
- AS prepending to all peers

Comprehensive Network Security Features
SecureLink (SecureNet) and GTSM provide complementary layers of protection for customers on the Global IP Network. SecureLink offers broad interface shielding through non-globally-routed IP ranges, while GTSM safeguards BGP sessions against spoofed or off-path traffic.

Customers can use Blackhole and Selective Blackhole services to limit the impact of DDoS attacks on specific hosts. Blackholed /32 or /128 prefixes are dropped upon entering the Global IP Network, while Selective Blackholing enables region-specific filtering for more precise control.

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Enhanced BGP Reliability
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) with BGP provides sub-second failure detection and accelerates routing convergence on the Global IP Network. This helps ensure traffic is rerouted quickly and efficiently when a link issue occurs.
