PCCW Global is pleased to announce that its industry-leading global Internet access service is available on-demand via the award-winning Console Connect digital platform.
Console Connect’s Software-Defined Interconnection® platform now offers high-performance Internet access across the same global tier 1 IP network relied upon by the world’s largest content and hyperscale cloud providers, ISPs and MNOs.
Capable of carrying traffic at more than 14Tbps and with extensive global peering, PCCW Global’s AS3491 network is consistently ranked among the top 10 worldwide for both IPv4 and IPv6 by Dyn IP Transit Intelligence.
The Internet On-Demand (IO-D) service is now available to Console Connect users via their existing access ports, enabling them to provision global Internet access whenever they need it.
The IO-D service can be accessed initially via hundreds of key data centers throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Other locations will be added and new service features rolled out in 2021.
By combining the new IO-D service and direct connections to all major cloud providers in all regional zones, businesses can experience greater network security and performance for their cloud environments and applications.
