Challenges
- An airline never stops, and Flydubai needed to always ensure maximum availability of their applications
- To de-risk loss of service, Flydubai needed a diverse, stable, high-capacity internet bandwidth that would be available in the event of an outage
- Existing IP providers lack the peering relationships and redundant global connectivity required for Flydubai’s applications
Solution
Orixcom identified IP Transit as the ideal solution to meet the Flydubai's growing need for reliable, high-performance internet connectivity. By leveraging IP Transit, they were able to ensure uninterrupted operations, both within the region and on a global scale, regardless of potential network disruptions. Key benefits of the solution:
1. Low Latency and Redundant Connectivity
Orixcom IP Transit offers low-latency connections, providing fast and efficient data transfer across networks. This is critical for businesses that rely on real-time applications, such as video conferencing, financial transactions, or cloud-based services. In addition to its speed, the solution ensures redundancy, meaning that in the event of an outage, traffic is automatically rerouted to prevent any disruptions. This failsafe connectivity applies both regionally and globally, delivering constant uptime and robust business continuity.
2. Extensive Peering Relationships
One of the core strengths of Orixcom's IP Transit solution is its extensive network of peering relationships. These connections, both regionally and internationally, allow for direct data exchange with multiple internet service providers (ISPs) and content delivery networks (CDNs). As a result, businesses benefit from enhanced network efficiency, reduced hops, and lower latency when accessing content or services from around the world. Orixcom’s peering ensures optimal routes for data, enhancing the quality and speed of the internet experience for end-users.
3. Reliable Performance at Equinix DX1

Equinix is known for its advanced infrastructure, offering fast and reliable internet connectivity. By utilising this world-class facility, Orixcom provides a highly reliable IP Transit service that meets the demanding needs of enterprises looking for scalable, secure, and high-performance internet access.
