ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES AVAILABILITY
First responders, police, EMTs and other public safety agencies rely on communication to effectively serve and protect communities – and to safely do their jobs. Blended IP delivers reliability that’s essential when severe weather hits, in rural areas where cell coverage can be spotty, or when a flood of communication overwhelms cellular networks.

IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE PERFORMANCE
Blended IP combines upstream internet service providers (ISPs) and local internet exchanges (including the Any2Exchange®) to get you the fastest data transfer vs. moving data through a single internet carrier. The results? Better redundancy and business continuity, ultra-low latency application performance and high-quality user experiences. 

Lower Latency, Reduced Costs and Increased Redundancy

THE BASICS OF BLENDED IP

How Blended IP Works

Moving data over the internet almost invariably requires passing data from one network to another. Blended IP occurs when the traffic is handed off between providers according to intelligent routing decisions, enabling use of Tier 1 networks (optimal for reliability and speed) for data that originates from Tier 3 or Tier 2 Internet Service Providers (ISPs).  Learn More
