Why companies buy it
Your applications aren’t slow.
The route they take is.
Cloud apps, ERP and voice were built to feel instant. When your users and your data sit on opposite sides of the world, public internet routing is what makes them stall. A private global WAN takes that variable out of the equation.
Solve your app performance challenges
Optimised global applications
CRM, ERP, voice and video stop stalling when the path between user and data is predictable. Private transport with TCP acceleration keeps sessions responsive across long distance.
Optimise any global cloud app
Dedicated PoP-to-PoP network
Your traffic crosses the LayerOne private backbone between points of presence — never the public internet. No shared congestion, no unpredictable routing, one accountable service end to end.
Two private paths, not one
Diverse routing
Diverse Layer 2 routes mean a single carrier event or cable fault doesn’t take your global link down. You get capacity where you need it without stitching carriers together yourself.
Up to 10× more responsive global cloud applications.
See what it costsThe 10× figure is indicative, not a guaranteed result. Improvement is measured against comparable public internet routing and depends on the application, traffic pattern, distance and encryption.

A private backbone
Your inter-PoP traffic crosses dedicated private infrastructure, rather than relying on public internet routing.
Diverse paths. Low latency.
A diverse Layer 2 core provides resilient global transport, designed for predictable performance over distance.
38 available global PoPs
Choose local access to the global network, then connect to an available destination PoP under one service.
Platform optimisation stack
Distance is inevitable.
Slow applications don’t have to be.
A dedicated private network provides the foundation. A private IP backbone and TCP acceleration work together to reduce the impact of long-distance latency.
Private IP backbone
Your own routed network. Never the public internet.
Your traffic crosses an isolated private IP backbone between our global PoPs — never the public internet. That means no shared congestion, predictable latency and consistent performance over long distance.
TCP acceleration
Keep data moving across distance.
Optimise transport across WAN segments to reduce the impact of TCP acknowledgement delays and long round trips, helping eligible applications maintain throughput.
Dedicated Layer 2 · South Africa to the world
Optimisation reduces the effects of latency; it cannot remove physical propagation delay. Results depend on application behaviour, traffic patterns and encryption.
Two endpoints · One monthly service
International pricing
Choose your A-side and B-side, then a port size for both ends. Each non-mainland-China port uses the same global rate for its size; mainland China ports carry a premium.
