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.

What we take care of:

Cloud Direct connect
MPLS
Point-to-point connectivity (P2P)
Dedicated internet access
Sohonet Media Network (SMN) access
Multiport

Built for demanding cloud workflows:

Rendering and compute at scale
Virtual workstations
Transcoding and processing
Cloud storage and archive
Remote compute environments

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.

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.
