Verizon’s global IP backbone network was built to handle the explosion in Internet
data and video traffic. It’s the global trade route of the 21st century, shipping digital
cargo efficiently around the world.
GLOBAL IP NETWORK
Verizon maintains more than 800,000 miles of high-speed cables—
enough to circle the earth more than 32 times—and we operate in
more than 150 countries on six continents. Our network is one of
the largest wholly owned, facilities-based networks in the world.
We support businesses and government agencies around the
globe securely and reliably, including 98 percent of the Fortune
1000. Verizon's expansive IP footprint and direct interconnections
around the world enable our customers to reach more destinations
directly through our global IP network than through the networks
of any other service provider.
Verizon’s global network technology supports the enormous
growth in Internet video and data trac, which helps multinational
corporations interconnect their facilities around the world. We also
provide intelligent networking solutions that securely connect
large business and government customers to the data, machines,
and applications they need to be successful. Our residential, small
business and wireless customers also benet from one of the
most-connected IP networks, with a range of Internet solutions that
have local-or wide-area network requirements.
FASTEST COMMERCIAL SPEEDS AVAILABLE
Verizon’s global backbone network continues to grow to meet our
customers’ evolving needs. During the past three years, we have
connected most of the major cities in the U.S. with speeds of 100
Gbps, and we’re upgrading our busiest routes in Europe and the
Asia Pacic region. We expect to double that speed in trials later
this year.
We’re also pushing 100 Gbps into our metro networks, as we
recently did with our ber central oces in Lower Manhattan,
driving Ethernet speeds even closer to the customer.
Verizon will carry on its heritage of innovation by advancing its
IP platform and the applications that are changing our everyday
lives. Working in collaboration with the countless people and
machines that touch the IP cloud, the sky remains the limit of our
collective imagination.
