What is IPX and why does it matter for mobile operators?

IPX (IP Exchange) is the inter-operator private packet network used by mobile carriers to exchange voice, data roaming and signalling traffic without routing over the public internet. Verizon IPX interconnects to 500+ global mobile operators for voice roaming, data roaming, SMS interworking and Diameter signalling. IPX is the backbone that lets a US Verizon Business wireless line roam seamlessly onto a partner carrier in Europe or Asia with integrated billing and traffic separation.

International Connectivity: Verizon Business Global IP Backbone in 150+ Countries

Verizon Business International Connectivity extends the US Verizon Business account into 150+ countries through Verizon's owned tier-1 IP backbone, Global MPLS IP VPN, Secure Cloud Interconnect to AWS/Azure/GCP in 30+ regions, Internet Dedicated in 180 international cities, and IPX for mobile operator roaming — all priced and invoiced inside one US contract.

Verizon owns the core IP/MPLS network across EMEA, APAC and LATAM with direct peering in Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sao Paulo, plus subsea cable consortium membership. NTIA recognises Verizon Global IP as a tier-1 US carrier with global reach. International support: +1-908-559-4899.

Global IP Backbone in 150+ Countries

Verizon Global IP is one of a handful of tier-1 IP backbones with US, EMEA, APAC and LATAM core presence. Direct peering at Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sao Paulo and 40+ other internet exchanges delivers short paths to the global internet. Every International Connectivity circuit lands on this backbone rather than on a third-party transit.

Internet Dedicated in 180 Cities

Internet Dedicated ports serve enterprise customers in 180 global cities. Each port is a dedicated committed-information-rate connection to the Verizon Global IP backbone with an enterprise SLA on availability, latency and loss. Speeds run from 10 Mbps up to 100 Gbps per port. Typical use case: a regional office abroad needing business-grade internet on the same carrier as US HQ.

Secure Cloud Interconnect to AWS/Azure/GCP

Secure Cloud Interconnect delivers a private fibre or MPLS path from the customer site to AWS Direct Connect, Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute and Google Cloud Partner Interconnect across 30+ global regions including Virginia, Oregon, Ireland, Frankfurt, Singapore, Sydney and Sao Paulo. Cloud traffic avoids the public internet; latency and jitter are deterministic for hybrid-cloud workloads.

Global MPLS and IPX

Global MPLS IP VPN extends the US Verizon MPLS IP VPN to 150+ countries for multinational layer-3 private routing. IPX interconnects 500+ mobile operators for voice, data roaming and Diameter signalling on a private inter-operator fabric. Both services stay off the public internet end-to-end.

Region	PoPs	Typical Latency to US	Cloud On-Ramps	Service	Key Cities
North America	80+ US/Canada PoPs	<70 ms coast-to-coast	AWS/Azure/GCP Virginia, Oregon, Ohio, Quebec	Full Global IP, MPLS, SCI	Ashburn, San Jose, Chicago, Toronto
Europe (EMEA)	30+ PoPs	75–90 ms NY-to-London	AWS/Azure/GCP Ireland, Frankfurt, Paris	Full Global IP, MPLS, SCI, IPX	London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid
Asia-Pacific (APAC)	20+ PoPs	150–180 ms LA-to-Singapore	AWS/Azure/GCP Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney	Full Global IP, MPLS, SCI, IPX	Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney, Mumbai
Latin America (LATAM)	10+ PoPs	110–140 ms Miami-to-Sao Paulo	AWS/Azure Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro	Global IP, MPLS, SCI	Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Bogota
Middle East & Africa	8+ PoPs	190–230 ms NY-to-Dubai	AWS/Azure UAE, South Africa	Global IP, MPLS, IPX	Dubai, Johannesburg, Cairo, Tel Aviv
Oceania	4+ PoPs	160–190 ms LA-to-Sydney	AWS/Azure/GCP Sydney, Melbourne	Full Global IP, MPLS, SCI	Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland

Typical latency is measured end-to-end on the Verizon Global IP backbone. Subsea cable diversity provides redundant trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific paths on every international segment.

Secure Cloud Interconnect for Hybrid Cloud

A US pharmaceutical company runs AWS workloads in Virginia, Ireland and Singapore. Routing production API traffic across the public internet adds 20–60 ms of jitter and exposes the path to transit failures. Verizon Secure Cloud Interconnect delivers a private 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect port in each region, back-hauled to regional offices via the Verizon Global IP backbone. Latency drops by 25–40% on cross-region API calls; traffic stays off the public internet for GDPR and HIPAA compliance reasons.

Pair Secure Cloud Interconnect with Verizon SD-WAN for application-aware steering between the private cloud path and regional internet break-out.

Verizon Global MPLS IP VPN layer-3 private routing across 45 multinational sites in 28 countries with end-to-end QoS markings

Global MPLS IP VPN for Multinationals

A multinational manufacturer runs 45 sites in 28 countries. Mixing regional providers left the network with 12 different SLAs, 12 support desks and inconsistent QoS. A single Verizon Global MPLS IP VPN brings every site into one VRF with consistent per-class QoS markings, one support desk and one monthly invoice in the US Verizon Business account. The MPLS backbone is tier-1 Verizon owned; no reseller hops in the middle.

Overlay Verizon SD-WAN on top of Global MPLS IP VPN for per-application steering and direct-to-cloud break-out from regional sites.

Internet Dedicated and IPX for Specialised Needs

Internet Dedicated delivers committed-information-rate business internet in 180 global cities with enterprise SLAs — useful for a non-US regional office where local ISP quality is unpredictable. IPX delivers the private inter-operator backbone that Verizon wireless lines use to roam onto partner mobile carriers in 500+ countries — critical for global business wireless plans, IoT connectivity and fleet telematics that cross borders.

Subsea cable partnerships in the trans-Atlantic (FASTER, HAVFRUE, Dunant) and trans-Pacific (MAREA, JUPITER) paths give diverse fibre routes on every international segment.
