Azure Express Route |

Diverse Connections |
As customers become increasingly dependent on internet access to cloud services for their business operations and curriculum delivery, a secondary (diverse) connection to the AARNet network via a geographically separate path mitigates the risk of downtime. This diverse connection ensures uninterrupted Internet access by serving as a back-up in case of any issues on the primary connection. |

Connections to AARNet are delivered direct from our optical network or Network Access Point (NAP) sites to a Network Termination Unit (NTU) which can operate at either 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) or multiples of 10 Gbps.This 'trunk' can then be used to deliver multiple services at any given time. You can connect as many, or as few, AARNet network services at each campus as you need. We work closely with you to determine the best bandwidth, performance and connection options for your needs.
