The public internet was built for emails and cat videos
Not 4K renders at scale
Public internet wasn’t built for resource-intensive cloud compute workflows that demand granular control, consistent performance, and studio-grade security. Sohonet removes congestion from the route, delivering ultra-low latency, guaranteed throughput, and predictable performance, so workloads run on time, every time.

FastLane
Direct Cloud Access
FastLane delivers private, high-performance connectivity into AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other major cloud providers, with burstable bandwidth that scales as demand changes. By removing the public internet from the route, it provides ultra-low latency and guaranteed throughput across an uncontended private network, ensuring predictable performance for compute-intensive, latency-sensitive workloads.
Teams benefit from greater control, strong security, and consistent low-latency performance that keeps cloud workstations responsive, transfers predictable, and compute on schedule.
Multiport
Flexible Connectivity
Cloud when you need it. Private network when you don't. Scale bandwidth month to month with a single flexible service combining Sohonet’s FastLane and private media network. With burstable connectivity, Multiport enables teams to use cloud resources when they need them, without being locked into static bandwidth models. Reconfigure and scale bandwidth month to month to support changing workloads, delivery timelines, or operational priorities.
