GÉANT World Service

Providing NRENs with flexible, high-capacity, and cost-effective access to the commercial internet

GÉANT World Service (GWS) provides commodity IP access, offering access to the wider, commercial internet. It is ideal for NRENs that wish to take advantage of competitive costs, those that do not wish to organise an individual connection to an ISP (internet service provider), or those that are keen to diversify their existing commodity IP access.

With full BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing, IPv4 and IPv6 support, and capacities from 10Gbps to 400Gbps, GWS can offer NRENs great flexibility in their provision of internet access to their users.
