Deliver a better experience
People judge their network by how their applications perform. When everything's perfect; they don’t even notice. But if applications start to lag or glitch; you’ve got a problem. Solving for today is not enough. With the metaverse on the horizon, everyone's base expectation will soon be high-definition-virtual-video-conferencing that responds faster than you can turn your head. And that's going to need an ultra-high-performance network.
The key is to be more direct. By connecting your users, cloud platforms and other network end points via the shortest geographic routes; you can improve response time and application performance. You can also avoid the risks of congestion and packet loss that come from being passed between multiple intermediate networks.
Telia Business Backbone
Our backbone starts right here, with the largest network in the Nordics and Baltics. This delivers the performance advantages of direct connectivity locally as well as enterprise-grade security you know you can rely on. From here, we provide exclusive local access to AS1299 – the world's most connected backbone. Together, this forms the Telia Business Backbone. It is a global ecosystem that connects you directly to more cloud providers, ISPs, data centers and content providers than any other network on Earth.
Get closer to the cloud
To keep latency low and application performance high; you shouldn't connect to cloud platforms in the US if you’re working in Europe – or vice-versa. Our business backbone connects you directly to the main cloud "on-ramps" across the US and Europe as well as key points in Asia. On the map we show the big three, but that's just the start. We also connect you directly to IBM Cloud, Oracle... and the hundreds of other cloud platforms that businesses become more reliant on each day.
Choose simplicity
The costs of managing multi-provider networks quickly outweigh the savings. As well as the additional costs of managing contracts and compliance; you also add complexity to your job and to others'.
With a single, local point of contact; you gain the simplicity, reach and end-to-end quality of our global business backone. And if anything goes wrong, our support center speaks your language. That means more than just understanding where you're coming from - but also having technical problem solvers in the front line. Today, we solve 80% of issues at the first point of contact.
