What we offer

IP Transit:

Whether you’re hosting content in specific regions or require global reach, our IP Transit network ensures your data travels swiftly and securely across the globe. Perfect for businesses needing robust and expansive internet connectivity.

Ethernet Services:

GCX’s Ethernet Services offer flexible, high-performance connectivity solutions that simplify network management and enable seamless integration with cloud infrastructures. Our Ethernet offerings are moulded to support a variety of business needs, providing reliable and scalable connections.

Remote Peering:

Take your network to the next level with GCX’s Remote Peering service, which allows you to connect to strategically located Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) around the world without the need for physical infrastructure. This solution is perfect for businesses looking to optimise internet performance, reduce transit costs, and gain more control over traffic routing, all while enhancing network reliability and resiliency.

MPLS:

GCX’s IP Connectivity also extends to providing links for MPLS requirements globally. This is a private network IP solution that gives customers the flexibility to manage their own IP infrastructure utilising GCX’s MPLS connectivity. With GCX’s MPLS services, we offer guaranteed performance over highly resilient widespread IP network layer and also provides a low latency and high reliability services with different classes of service.

Key features - IP TRANSIT:

Take your network to the next level with GCX’s Remote Peering service, which allows you to connect to strategically located Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) around the world without the need for physical infrastructure. This solution is perfect for businesses looking to optimise internet performance, reduce transit costs, and gain more control over traffic routing, all while enhancing network reliability and resiliency.

GCX’s IP Transit service is built on a vast meshed IP network, supported by our privately-owned subsea cable network. This infrastructure ensures high availability, minimal packet loss, and consistent performance, keeping your internet traffic flowing smoothly.

With bandwidth options ranging from 100Mbps to 100Gbps+, our IP Transit services are designed to scale with your business needs. We offer both flat-rate and usage-based billing models, providing flexibility to manage costs in a way that works for your business.

Our 24×7 NOC operations, real-time performance reporting, and comprehensive SLAs guarantee the highest levels of service reliability and customer satisfaction​.

Automated Internet Routes Filtering:

As a Wholesale Internet Service Provider we help customers advertise their Internet routes through automated route-filtering methodology based on their provided AS-SET using any regional Internet-Route-Registry.

RPKI Based Route-filtering:

Adding to the AS-SET route-filtering we have added layer of Internet Routes security by accepting only verified and authorized prefixes send in by source networks.

Remote-Triggered-Blackholing:

With use of special BGP community customer can stop traffic towards their specific network or hosts after detecting DDOS attack on them.

Customer Controlled BGP Communities:

With the help of BGP communities, customers can restrict traffic towards specific regions or other networks.

Key features - Ethernet Services:

Ethernet is the ideal solution for connecting high-performance cloud infrastructures, application workloads, and cloud content into a single pane of glass. Delivered as “layer 2” connectivity, it simplifies network boundaries, enabling rapid and flexible service provisioning​.

GCX offers two distinct Ethernet services:

Ethernet Private Line (EPL):

Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections with protected and unprotected configurations, ensuring predictable latency and protocol transparency.

Global Ethernet:

Based on EoMPLS, this service supports multiple Classes of Service (CoS) and various connection configurations, offering unmatched control, flexibility, and performance​.

Key features -
Remote peering:

GCX offers a range of flexible peering options to suit your specific needs:

Direct Peering:

Establish direct connections with networks at the IXP, optimising routing paths and reducing reliance on traditional transit providers.

Scalable Bandwidth:

Choose from a variety of bandwidth options, allowing you to scale your peering connections as your business grows, whether you need dedicated high-capacity circuits or more economical shared plans.

Remote Peering gives you greater control over how your traffic is routed, allowing you to tailor peering agreements based on geographic requirements and traffic profiles. The built-in redundancy provided by multiple peering relationships ensures that your network remains resilient, minimising downtime and maintaining consistent service levels.

GCX’s Remote Peering service includes secure VLAN extensions from the IXP to your network, providing a dedicated and protected path for your data. Our 24×7 Network Operation Center (NOC) continuously monitors your connections, and our expert support team is always available to assist with configuration, troubleshooting, and ensuring optimal performance.

Key features -
MPLS:

Extensive Coverage:

We provide MPLS services globally using our own cable-systems viz. FA-1, FEA, FNAL, HAWK and FALCON coupled with other diverse partner cable-paths, making it easier for MNCs [Multinational Companies] and Data centres to connect their offices or data centres around the world under a single network provider.

Guaranteed Bandwidth:

GCX MPLS allows for dedicated bandwidth allocation, ensuring that critical applications have the necessary resources.
