+## Network 
+
+{{< image width="15em" float="right" src="/assets/dwdm.png" alt="DWDM spectrum" >}}
+
+Our network consists of routers and interconnections in two main sites in the
+Zurich metro: eShelter (NTT) in Ruemlang (next to the airport), and Interxion
+ZUR1 in Glattbrugg. These two locations are connected with dark fiber, and we
+have access to several local loop providers in both locations. For example, we
+can arrange connectivity to Colozueri, Equinix ZH4 and Equinix ZH5 directly,
+and using our partners (such as IP-Max, Init7, Openfactory), domestically and
+to most european cities.
+
+You can read more about our network in this [informative post]({% post_url 2021-02-27-network %}).
+
+### IP Transit
+
+We operate [[AS8298](https://as8298.peeringdb.com/)] which announces `AS-IPNG`
+for ourselves and our transit customers. We're pretty firmly connected in and
+around Zurich, with a 10Gbit link to SwissIX, CommunityIX and CH-IX. We have
+a diverse set of transit providers which give us good reach to the world,
+including via Cogent AS174, Hurricane Electric AS6939, and for strong european
+presence, we receive transit from OpenFactory AS58299, Meerfarbig AS34549, and
+IP-Max AS25091.
+
+Gaining access to this wealth of IPv4 and IPv6 coverage is as easy as finding
+an L2 connection to one of our points of presence, establishing a BGP session
+to us, and announcing your netblock(s). We'll take it from there!
+
+You can read more about our BGP capabilities in this [informative post]({% post_url 2021-02-27-network %}).
+
+### Local Loop Ethernet
+
+Apropos, getting onto the internet is pretty easy if you are in a commercial
+colocation facility. Of course, any internet provider will offer various
+quality IPv4 and IPv6 connections with or without a static IP address. However
+getting from your house to the datacenter is often the most complicated and
+expensive project. At IPng, we had this challenge too -- and considering
+we solved it for ourselves, we can certainly also solve it for you! With our
+residential last-mile ISP collaboration (for example, ConnectionPoint, Init7,
+Solnet, and Swisscom BBCS), L2 services directly to your residence or office
+become easily possible.
+
+## Colocation
+
+We operate a private colocation facility in Zurich Albisrieden. The facility
+has 3x200A of power and about 60m2 of floor space. Hosting one or several
+machines, including Layer2 connectivity either to your own home, or to the
+main internet hubs of Zurich, are easily accomplished in our colocation
+facility. If more space is needed, we are regulars in most all Swiss carrier
+housing facilities, and can help broker a deal that is tailored to your
+needs.
+
+You can read more about how we built our own colocation from scratch in
+this [informative post]({% post_url 2022-02-24-colo %}).
+
+## Project Design / Execution
+
+{{< image width="15em" float="right" src="/assets/pdu19.png" alt="19 inch PDU" >}}
+
+We design things, both logical and physical. Be it two dimensional or three
+dimensional, as life long tinkerers, we have a fair bit of experience in
+mechanical and electrical engineering. Of course, as a network business,
+designing and deploying autonomous systems and networks of any size is our home
+turf. Also fundamentally understanding how a network should perform, be it
+throughput, bandwidth, latency or jitter and packet loss: we've seen it all,
+from ADSL lines to 300km DWDM spans.
