Short answer
FirstNet runs direct private peering with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud and major content delivery networks (CDNs), and peers locally at the NAPAfrica, JINX, CINX and DINX internet exchanges.
In detail
The peering footprint:
- Microsoft: Azure and Microsoft 365, plus other Microsoft services such as Maps
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Google Cloud
- Major content delivery networks
- Local internet exchanges: NAPAfrica, JINX, CINX and DINX
Direct peering means your traffic reaches these platforms over dedicated routes rather than crossing the open internet, with engineered headroom for stable performance at peak. That suits real-time apps, data replication and latency-sensitive services. FirstNet operates its own Autonomous System, so these are its own peering relationships, not a resale of someone else's routes.
For services hosted further afield, FirstNet maintains multi-peer transit at international hubs including London, New York, Frankfurt and Singapore, across multiple undersea cable systems with automatic rerouting. Peering integrates with FirstNet's private connectivity and security services, and a connectivity assessment can quantify the latency gains for your sites and users.
