Cogent Communications

Solutions for Application and Content Providers
When it comes to making online applications – such as gaming, VoIP or social networks – available to Internet end users, or delivering audio, video or streaming content in the most efficient manner, Application and Content Providers are looking for the most reliable, scalable and cost-efficient way to connect to eyeball networks. Operating one of the most interconnected Tier 1 networks in the world, Cogent provides efficient connectivity solutions that fulfill these goals.

Cogent's worldwide Tier 1, IPv6 enabled, optical IP network is one of the largest of its kind, with over 57,400 route miles of long-haul fiber, direct IP connectivity to more than 6,660 AS (Autonomous System) networks around the world and over 176 Tbps internetworking capacity.

Why are these numbers important to you as an Application or Content Provider? You need a provider who can leverage its network footprint to deliver your content and applications as close as possible to end users; a provider who interconnects to the largest number of ISP networks in the world.

If you are an Application or Content Provider looking for a strong and reliable carrier partner, Cogent's scalable, affordable and high quality IP Transit service will connect you to more service locations in North America, Europe and Asia than any other Tier 1 carrier.

From Mexico City to Tallinn or from Toronto to Lisbon, Cogent connects in 43 countries to virtually all major traffic exchange points, including more than 1123 data centers. Find out where Cogent's nearest point of presence to your platform is located.
Check out Cogent's IP connectivity by yourself using Cogent's public looking glass, or contact us with any question you may have.
If your applications require interconnection with other Application, Content or Service Providers at a remote location, such as a public Internet exchange point, a teleport or an online trading platform, Cogent's Ethernet transport services can bring you there.
