Why global networks are the backbone of AI

While hyperscalers are busy building for their next moonshot, enterprises should also start futureproofing their networks in anticipation of AI’s demands.

Ethernet still rules at 50

1973 was a pretty busy year:  The US Senate Watergate Committee began its work, the first mobile phone call was made in Manhattan, Paul McCartney released the album “Band on the Run” and the Sydney Opera House was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, to name but a few key historical events.

Arelion’s network evolution

It has now been more than a year since Arelion began its new life, leaving behind the Telia Carrier brand and facing the market as an independent entity. Over that year we have seen the company start to make more aggressive network investments, moving into new parts of the world, such as Mexico.

Mexico Expansion: Bridging Borders

Securing cloud connectivity for IoT

We first became aware of cellular IoT connectivity by accident. After blocking illegitimate 3G signalling data traffic to our network in 2015, we got a call from a mobile operator (not a customer) complaining that we had taken down their connected car programme. Additional issues arose and soon it was clear that the hype around […]

Stepping back into the Ethernet

Working out the best way to meet your connectivity needs across such […]

Building Network Diversity into US Market

2020 was a record-breaking year for us in terms of network growth, with substantial global growth of 30 new Points of Presence (PoPs) around the world. While Telia Carrier has been consistently ranked the number one backbone provider with more than 65 percent of Internet routes directly connected to our network, last year we added […]

Placing Lyon on the digital world map

One of the most exciting things for us about expanding our network backbone and the services we can offer is the wider story it tells about how digital communications is changing.  On a global scale we are seeing the expectations from enterprises and consumers increase: they want access to new content and services – with […]
