GLOBAL IP TRANSIT SERVICE

BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE. POWERED BY EXPERIENCE

We understand that the quality of the internet experience depends on the strength of the underlying network. Colt’s global IP Transit service is engineered to deliver reliable, scalable, and high-performance connectivity for service providers and enterprises worldwide.

Our IP backbone architecture is built on two complementary AS networks with terabit interconnectivity:

• AS3356, our Transit free backbone delivering extensive coverage and deep peering across EMEA, and

• AS8220, a highly connected, strategically peered network delivering performance and reach across North America and Asia.

Together, they provide global coverage, optimal routing, and consistent low-latency transit—backed by sophisticated network security, scalable port options, and real-time monitoring. With Colt, customers benefit from a globally integrated transit solution built for critical business and carrier-grade demands.

COMMON USE CASES

• Regional ISPs with ‘eyeballs’ consuming digital content

• Content providers to deliver content to regional ISPs

• Hosting providers needing IP transit for their customer assets

• Video game companies looking to optimize end-user experience
