Take a closer look at just three of our many global service provider partner networks
Their Edge
Other CDNs have built a few pops in a country or region for content delivery.
They often call this the 'edge.' Our solution moves the edge deep inside the last mile service provider network to a local city or even a neighborhood. This means your content is closer than ever before to your users. Deeply embedded also means our edge nodes are downstream of potential congestion points in the core or at peering sites.
Qwilt Brings You Closer — Deeply Embedded, Highly Distributed
Where their 'edge' is 1 or 2 nodes, our EDGE is 20, 50 or 100 nodes – 10x to 50x more
Looking at examples in our service provider partner networks – such as Verizon in the US, BT in the UK and TIM in Brazil – the stark difference in our approach becomes clear. When another CDN covers a country, they may have a few nodes deployed (e.g. 2 in the UK, 2 in Brazil). When Qwilt covers the same country, we may have 20, 50 or 100 nodes distributed across the nation. Qwilt can get you closer to the end user than you ever thought possible.
