Private Networking

Yes, and this is exactly what our Integrated Managed Services model is built for. If you have a network in place that is not being managed well, we can take over day-to-day operations without requiring you to replace your infrastructure or move circuits. The process starts with an assessment of your existing estate against Globalgig’s operational standards. Where remediation is needed, we agree on a clear plan before management begins. Where it is not, we get started. You keep what you have, and work with a provider that manages it properly.

Through established commercial relationships with local and regional carriers, internet service providers, and network infrastructure providers worldwide. We do not own the physical infrastructure in every country, but we have the relationships,  technical expertise, and commercial leverage to design, procure, and manage the right connectivity services wherever your business operates. What this gives you is access to a broader range of options in each market than any single network owner could provide, combined with a single managed service layer on top. We are transparent about what is available in each location before you commit.

The answer depends partly on where your network operates. In many EMEA markets, MPLS pricing has compressed to the point where the cost differential that drove SD-WAN adoption elsewhere is much less significant, so MPLS remains a practical and commercially competitive choice for multi-site private WAN. In North American and Asia-Pacific markets, the economics more frequently favor alternatives.
Geography aside, MPLS makes sense for specific use cases, regardless of region. This includes environments where deterministic latency is non-negotiable, where traffic prioritization across a multi-site WAN is required, and where compliance frameworks mandate private circuit isolation.
Where MPLS consistently struggles is scale, inflexibility, and expansion into new markets where a single carrier may not have a strong local presence. Adding a new site in a country outside your primary carrier’s footprint can be slow and expensive, regardless of the market.
For most organizations, the answer is not a straightforward replacement but a site-by-site assessment, by looking at which locations genuinely need MPLS features, which are better served by private Ethernet services or SD-WAN, and where a hybrid approach makes the most sense commercially and technically. We operate across all these markets and will give you an honest view based on your specific estate rather than a universal recommendation.

An Ethernet private line provides a dedicated point-to-point connection between two locations, so it is straightforward, completely isolated, and predictable.
Ethernet virtual private line provides similar dedicated connectivity services, but supports multiple topologies: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh configurations. It is more flexible for organizations connecting more than two sites.
A virtual private LAN service (VPLS) extends your LAN across the WAN. It provides Ethernet connectivity across geographically distributed sites, without requiring your team to have specialist WAN expertise, or additional hardware. The right choice depends on how many sites you need to connect, and what your topology requirements are.

Contract renewal is the right time to assess whether MPLS is still the best fit for each site it serves. Here are the questions worth asking:
Which sites genuinely require the QoS and traffic isolation that MPLS provides?
Which are using MPLS because it was already there?
Are there sites where Ethernet services would deliver an equivalent performance at a lower cost?
Does SD-WAN over broadband meet your performance requirements?
We can help you map this out across your estate and recommend a transition approach; whether that is renewing existing MPLS, migrating specific sites to alternatives, or running a hybrid architecture.

This is one of the most common pain points with single-carrier private networking arrangements. If your carrier does not have the local infrastructure at a new location, your options are typically limited and expensive. Globalgig’s carrier relationships span over 195 countries, so adding a site in a new market is an operational conversation, not a new commercial negotiation with a carrier that may not be able to serve that location.

Yes, for organizations with high-capacity requirements or specific latency and routing constraints, we support DWDM and dedicated wavelength services, alongside our broader private networking portfolio.
For international deployments where subsea cable selection matters, we design around specific subsea systems, based on your latency, resilience, and geographic requirements, rather than defaulting to whatever is most commercially straightforward. This is particularly relevant for financial services, content delivery, and any deployment where the path the traffic takes is as important as the bandwidth it carries. Speak to Globalgig about your specific routing requirements, and we will design accordingly.
