Telstra —
Global SD-WAN, Internet & Private Line for Asia-Pacific Enterprises

Telstra is one of Australia's largest telecommunications companies and a major international carrier operating a global network with particular depth across the Asia-Pacific region. For enterprise customers outside Australia, Telstra is most relevant as an international carrier providing SD-WAN, global internet and IP transit, and private line connectivity — including Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and wavelength services — across its global network spanning 250,000 miles of subsea and terrestrial cable. Fibi sources and advises on Telstra alongside other global and regional connectivity providers at no cost to you.

Telstra operates one of the largest subsea cable networks in the Asia-Pacific region, with 30 cable systems and access to multiple cable landing stations across the Pacific. The Telstra global network spans approximately 200 countries and territories, with 600+ data center points of presence and 70 global internet PoPs across 41 cities — with particularly dense infrastructure in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and across the broader APAC region. For multinational enterprises connecting US or European headquarters to Asia-Pacific operations, Telstra provides carrier-grade private line, SD-WAN, and internet connectivity anchored by a network built around APAC infrastructure depth that US-centric carriers cannot match.

Telstra managed SD-WAN delivers enterprise branch connectivity across the Telstra global network — linking offices, data centers, and cloud environments with centralized policy management, traffic optimization, and network visibility. For organizations with APAC locations, Telstra SD-WAN is delivered over a carrier network with local on-ramp infrastructure in key Asia-Pacific cities, avoiding the performance degradation that occurs when US-centric SD-WAN providers route APAC traffic over congested public internet paths. The managed SD-WAN service includes network management, monitoring, and SLA-backed performance across all connected sites.

Telstra Global Internet provides dedicated internet access and IP transit services for enterprise and carrier customers over the Telstra international network — with direct connectivity to major internet exchanges, cloud providers, and CDN networks across Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe. Telstra maintains comprehensive IP peering relationships with telcos, cloud providers, and CDN operators in key APAC markets, delivering lower latency and more direct routing for traffic destined for or originating in the Asia-Pacific region compared to carriers that rely on transit arrangements in that geography. IP transit services are available for carriers and wholesale customers requiring international bandwidth with APAC termination.

Telstra Ethernet Private Line (EPL) delivers point-to-point dedicated Layer 2 connectivity between locations — providing dedicated, private bandwidth that does not traverse the public internet and delivers consistent performance for latency-sensitive or high-volume applications connecting APAC and global locations. Wavelength services provide high-capacity optical transport for organizations needing very large bandwidth connections — typically between data centers or carrier facilities — with raw capacity that exceeds what is practical over standard Ethernet private line circuits. Both EPL and wavelength services are backed by Telstra's subsea cable infrastructure across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, making them appropriate for organizations with very high-capacity transoceanic connectivity requirements.

No. Your agreement is directly with Telstra. Fibi provides independent advisory at no cost — evaluating Telstra alongside other global and regional connectivity providers based on your organization's locations, APAC footprint, bandwidth requirements, and whether SD-WAN, internet, or private line is the right solution for each location. Fibi's advisory is funded through the standard vendor channel, with no impact on your contract terms or service.
