About Verizon

Verizon Business (NYSE: VZ) is a Tier 1 carrier headquartered in New York City, operating one of the world's most extensive enterprise connectivity networks. With approximately 105,000 employees, 1,000+ global Points of Presence, and 9 Network Operations Centers spanning six continents, Verizon brings institutional-grade scale to enterprise connectivity, private IP networking, and cloud interconnection.

Secure Cloud Interconnect

Verizon's most distinctive connectivity capability is its Secure Cloud Interconnect platform — with 72 active locations in 11 countries connecting enterprises directly to 9 cloud providers. Twenty-three diverse global peering locations further reduce latency and improve reliability for enterprises with distributed cloud workloads. Three enhanced security options are available within Secure Cloud Interconnect, making it a security-first cloud connectivity architecture rather than a traditional internet-based cloud access model.

The Intelligent Cloud Control Network extends cloud work-load optimization services to enterprises in 150+ countries and territories — enabling intelligent traffic steering and path optimization across multi-cloud architectures at a global scale.

Connectivity Portfolio

Top products include Ethernet, Internet, Private IP, and Wave — the classic Tier 1 carrier portfolio for enterprises demanding high-capacity, low-latency transport. Private networking covers Private LTE/5G, MPLS, VPLS, and point-to-point private lines. DDoS mitigation is available. Voice services include PRI, SIP trunking, and UCaaS, with Mobility/Wireless Voice and POTS Replacement available on ICB.

SD-WAN platform partnerships cover Cisco Meraki, Cisco SD-WAN, HPE Aruba, and Versa Networks.

Wireless Scale

Verizon's 4G LTE wireless network covers over 98% of the US population — a bedrock infrastructure asset that supports Private LTE/5G deployments, wireless broadband backup, and mobile-first connectivity strategies for enterprise and public sector customers.
