Infrastructure

Built Different — The NPOP Advantage

Beanfield's Neighbourhood Point of Presence model places 57+ purpose-built facilities within ~500m of customer buildings across Toronto and Montreal — dramatically closer than traditional carrier architectures that rely on distant central offices.

Shorter fibre runs mean lower outage risk, faster installations, and consistent latency. Each NPOP is connected via Beanfield's own dense fibre ring — not leased from incumbent carriers.

Why owned infrastructure matters:
  • No reliance on incumbent carriers for last-mile delivery
  • SLA accountability end-to-end — one throat to grab
  • Faster fault resolution — Beanfield controls every segment
  • Consistent capacity — no sharing with residential traffic
  • Custom routing optimisation per building
