Connectivity options built for modern production
No two environments are the same. Sohonet works with you to design a bespoke connectivity service based on how your team operates today and as things change.
Dedicated Internet
High-performance internet built for media workflows. Scale bandwidth up or down as projects change. Ideal for cloud workflows, tight delivery schedules, and connecting new teams or facilities.
MPLS
Private network connectivity between sites with guaranteed bandwidth, low latency, and traffic prioritisation. Ideal for transferring large media files and supporting real-time production workflows.
Point-to-point connectivity (P2P)
A dedicated private connection between two locations delivering guaranteed bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and consistent performance for secure, high-speed media transfers.
Direct Cloud Access
Private, high-performance connectivity to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Faster and more predictable than public internet for rendering, storage, and cloud-based production workflows.
Private Network
The world’s largest private fibre network for media. Securely connect studios, teams, and partners with guaranteed bandwidth, low latency, and reliable performance.
Flexible Network Service
A flexible hybrid network combining FastLane and the Sohonet Media Network. Scale and reconfigure bandwidth monthly as projects, teams, and technology evolve.
Ready To That Take the Pressure Off?
Your team shouldn’t have to fight with bandwidth, cloud bottlenecks, or security gaps. Sohonet builds dedicated, secure, scalable connectivity tailored to your pipeline, so your workflow stays fast, predictable, and production-ready, even when the pressure’s on.
