Pods at Major Carrier Hotels

OPAQ operates its own global IP backbone (AS25885) with network Pods at major carrier hotels around the world. Major carrier hotel examples include:

• 111 8th Avenue, New York, NY 350 E.

• Cermak, Chicago, IL

• One Wilshire, Los Angeles, CA

150 Peering Relationships; >50% of traffic never touches the Internet

OPAQ blends multiple high-performance transit providers with approximately 150 private peering relationships.

• IP transit providers include Internap and NTT America -- OPAQ’s routing policy dynamically leverages the best Internet paths available, and makes more than 2 million route changes daily. This allows OPAQ to reduce latency by as much as 35 milliseconds per packet round-trip time on average, when compared to standard Internet routing

• Google, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix represent only a handful of the nearly 150 private peering relationships OPAQ has established -- this not only takes an inordinate amount of time, but also often requires a minimum amount of bandwidth consumption in order to do business with these partners

• Every OPAQ Pod routing policy is operated independently, allowing customers to achieve a highly available connection to the OPAQ Cloud. When a customer connects to multiple OPAQ Pods, OPAQ provides a high-availability option with faster failover times

• Internet routing between OPAQ Pods utilizes the private IP backbone, which is maintained by OPAQ engineers and bypasses the Internet -- this means high resiliency and low latency
