AEX — Simplifying growth
We cut AEX's backhaul procurement from 6–12 months to 30–90 days, for rapid multi-state expansion.
IP & peering
Transit and peering that keep your traffic close to its destination.
Cheap transit and good routing are not the same purchase.
A low per-meg price means little if your traffic takes the long way to the destinations your users depend on.
Single-homed transit leaves you one outage away from a bad day.A single upstream provider means a single point of failure. When that provider has an outage or congested path, your traffic has nowhere to go, and your users notice before your monitoring does.
Blended IP routes your traffic through more hops than it needs.A low per-meg price doesn't mean optimal routing. Blended transit often routes content and cloud traffic through extra hops before it reaches the networks your users actually depend on.
Setting up your own peering requires infrastructure you probably don't have.Exchange memberships, cross-connects, and a routing team to manage BGP sessions: the overhead of running your own peering program is significant unless you're operating at a scale that justifies it.

IP transit
Fully redundant internet transit through AS 14016, with BGP routing optimized for the destinations that matter.
IP transit delivers upstream connectivity to the global internet via Capcon's own autonomous system, AS 14016. Traffic routes through redundant paths with BGP policy optimized to minimize hops to content, cloud, and major eyeball networks. Right for ISPs, operators, and enterprises that need reliable, high-capacity upstream connectivity with full-route BGP and documented routing policy.
Best for
ISPs and fiber operators needing upstream transit, distributed enterprises with internet-facing infrastructure, and any organization that has outgrown blended IP and needs accountable BGP connectivity with documented routing policy.
AS 14016 full-route BGP
Your transit is delivered from Capcon's own ASN with full internet routing tables and documented peering policy. You get visibility into the routing decisions behind your traffic, not just a pipe.
Redundant upstream paths
Multiple upstream providers and five exchange memberships mean your traffic has alternate paths if any single upstream link degrades. No single point of failure between your network and the internet.
Optimized routing to major networks
BGP policy is tuned for shortest-path routing to the content providers, cloud platforms, and eyeball networks your users actually hit. Traffic doesn't take the long way around because a transit contract made it convenient.
IX peering
Direct exchange access at five peering points across the US, reducing transit cost and improving content performance.
IX peering connects AS 14016 directly to other networks at shared exchange fabric, bypassing transit for traffic to and from those networks. Capcon is a member at DE-CIX New York, EQIX Chicago, EQIX Dallas, DRIX Atlanta, and CIX-ATL. Peering relationships with Google, Akamai, Fastly, Cogent, Arelion, and Lumen mean content and cloud traffic travels fewer hops and doesn't touch paid transit unnecessarily.
Best for
ISPs and fiber operators looking to reduce transit costs on high-volume traffic to CDNs and content providers, and enterprises whose users are heavy consumers of peered content.
Five exchange memberships
DE-CIX New York, EQIX Chicago, EQIX Dallas, DRIX Atlanta, and CIX-ATL. Geographic spread means traffic peels off at the exchange closest to the destination, not the one that happens to be convenient.
Direct peers with major content networks
Google, Akamai, Fastly, Cogent, Arelion, and Lumen are directly peered at multiple exchanges. Traffic to these networks bypasses transit entirely, lowering cost and reducing latency to the networks your users hit most.
Transit and peering under one roof
Peering is managed alongside your transit relationship. Route policy, traffic engineering, and NOC support come from one team. No separate peering coordinator to engage when something needs adjusting.
Private peering
Dedicated interconnects with specific networks, bypassing exchange fabric for your highest-volume bilateral traffic.
Private peering establishes a direct cross-connect between AS 14016 and a specific network's router at a shared colocation facility, outside the public exchange fabric. Right where bilateral traffic volumes justify the dedicated port cost and where the performance or policy advantages of a direct path outweigh shared exchange access. Capcon handles the commercial negotiation, cross-connect provisioning, and ongoing BGP session management.
Best for
ISPs and operators with high bilateral traffic to specific networks, such as major CDNs, cloud providers, or upstream carriers, where the volume makes a dedicated cross-connect more cost-effective than exchange port capacity.
Direct path, no shared fabric
A private cross-connect is a dedicated physical link between two routers. Traffic doesn't compete for exchange port bandwidth or depend on the exchange's switching infrastructure to stay healthy.
Commercial negotiation handled
Capcon manages the bilateral peering agreement, port provisioning, and cross-connect coordination on your behalf. You don't need an existing peering relationship or a dedicated routing engineer to establish one.
Integrated routing policy
Private peering sessions are managed within the same BGP policy framework as your transit and IX relationships. Traffic engineering across all three paths is handled by one team with full visibility across your routing table.
Cloud OnRamp
Private, low-latency connections to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, bypassing the public internet entirely.
Cloud OnRamp delivers dedicated Layer 2 and Layer 3 connections to major cloud providers through Capcon's exchange colocation footprint. Traffic between your network and AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, or Google Cloud Interconnect travels a private path, with no public internet exposure, no variable latency, and no shared transit hops. Provisioned and managed by Capcon as part of your connectivity portfolio.
Best for
Enterprises with significant cloud workloads where public internet variability is unacceptable: financial services, healthcare, SaaS platforms with strict SLA requirements, and any organization running data-intensive workloads between on-premises infrastructure and cloud.
Private path to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
Connections use the cloud providers' dedicated interconnect products (Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, Cloud Interconnect) rather than the public internet. Latency is deterministic, and there is no shared transit between your network and the cloud.
Provisioned from exchange colocation
Capcon's presence at major exchange and colocation facilities gives your cloud on-ramp a short, low-latency physical path to cloud provider routers. The interconnect port sits inside our network footprint, not in your data center.
Managed alongside your full connectivity portfolio
Cloud OnRamp circuits appear in ClearView alongside your transit, peering, and access circuits. One NOC monitors performance and handles fault resolution across every connection type.
Our client portal gives you complete visibility into your network, wherever you are.
Track every service from order through activation. View service details, provisioning milestones, contract terms, and monthly costs in one place. Execute changes - upgrades, moves, modifications, reterminations - on demand, without opening a support ticket. Technical documents are available for download at any stage.
A peer at the exchange table, not a reseller buying transit.
We peer directly with the networks your users actually hit, so traffic takes the short route by design, not by accident.

- Result driven
- We escalate to carriers on your behalf and stay on a problem until your network is right.
We struggled to keep up with the demand of our clients in various markets, especially in identifying viable backhaul options.

The difference a routing-first network makes.
Routing tuned to the shortest path, not the cheapest contract. BGP policy on AS 14016 reaches content, cloud, and eyeball networks the most direct way available. Traffic doesn't take detours because a transit deal made them cheaper.
One team for transit, peering, and cloud connectivity. IP transit, IX peering, private peering, and cloud on-ramps are all managed under one NOC. One escalation path, one routing team, no handoff between peering and transit silos.
Routing decisions backed by data. ClearView surfaces traffic utilization, routing events, and circuit status across every IP and peering service, so your network team makes routing calls on data, not just performance alerts.
Our clients don't worry about connectivity and neither should you.
We measure our performance against one standard: yours. So when we say we handle it, we mean it - end to end, across every carrier, every circuit, every issue.
