Earlier this year, Console Connect introduced the first phase of our Layer 1 service, giving you access to one of the world’s highest performing global transmission networks via our easy-to-use self-service portal. With Console Connect, you can easily check the price of bandwidth for routes between key data centre locations before your order. Once you have, manage and order your Layer 1 service online alongside your other services, from one comprehensive dashboard.

When you sign up to take your first steps into using Layer 1, whether you’re researching whether our approach is right for you or configuring your first connection, we now have a full Layer 1 resource on our Help Centre. Featuring the most commonly-asked questions about the service and an illustration of how a typical order would progress, it’ll answer any questions you have.

If you’re looking at setting up a new Layer 1 service, we’ve got all the information you need to know - how to make sure you have a Layer 1-compatible port, what kinds of customisations you can configure, and timeframes for completion. Just head here to learn more.

Anything you want to know about Layer 1 that’s not covered? Let us know and we’ll make sure it’s included.
