Arelion operates the world’s #1 ranked Tier‑1 IP backbone (AS1299), historically serving wholesale carriers, content providers, and hyperscalers, while in recent years expanding direct enterprise offerings using the same physical network and services stack. From a research & education (R&E) perspective, the distinction is less about network quality (same backbone) and more about commercial model, operational responsibility, and integration with academic ecosystems. Arelion solves global connectivity challenges for multinational enterprises whose businesses rely on digital infrastructure. On top of the world’s #1 ranked IP backbone and a unique ecosystem of cloud and network service providers, they provide an award-winning customer experience to customers in close to 130 countries worldwide. Their global Internet services connect more than 700 cloud, security and content providers with low latency. For further resilience, their private Cloud Connect service connects directly to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud and Oracle cloud across North America, Europe and Asia. https://www.linkedin.com/company/arelion/ https://x.com/ArelionCompany
