Global One's IP offerings are spread over several services. Employing the public Internet, Global One can provide more than 80 access points to the network. Industry-standard IPsec is used to tunnel and encrypt the data flow over the Internet. Intranet VPN offers a private IP backbone in 35 countries, providing connections to the most likely locations for a customer's international offices. While the core of the network seems well designed and provides efficient handling of customer data, we were disappointed that the maximum throughput rate Global One offers is just 2 Mbps.
Higher bandwidth is available upon special request in certain countries.
