Networking
Are you well connected? We invest in our own network. So you can rest assured that our network systems won’t overload, traffic will automatically reroute, and your internet connection can remain a constant amongst any other change.
At Fastcom, networking isn’t something we resell – it’s something we build, own and operate. Since 2009, we’ve been designing and delivering high-performance network infrastructure for some of New Zealand’s best-known organisations, and our custom-built network on leading Extreme Networks Fabric is at the heart of everything we do. That means when you choose Fastcom for your networking, you’re not getting a repackaged product from someone else’s infrastructure – you’re getting a direct connection to a network we’ve engineered for performance, resilience and security from the ground up.
Whether you need dedicated internet access, private MPLS WAN connectivity across multiple sites, secure mobile data for remote teams and devices, reliable fibre, or backup connections for your business, Fastcom has the solution – and the team to back it. When you need support, it’s simple: one provider, one network, one call.
Private MPLS WAN
A Private MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) WAN is a dedicated, high-performance network that connects your offices, sites and data centres over a secure private infrastructure – completely separate from the public internet. Rather than sending your data across shared, unpredictable pathways, MPLS intelligently routes traffic along pre-defined, prioritised paths, ensuring the right data gets where it needs to go, fast and reliably.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Private & secure: Your data travels over a dedicated private network, never touching the public internet significantly reducing exposure to cyber threats and unauthorised access.
- Predictable performance: MPLS prioritises traffic types – such as voice and video – so latency-sensitive applications perform consistently, regardless of overall network load.
- High reliability & uptime: Built-in redundancy and traffic rerouting means that if one path fails, your network keeps running – ideal for business-critical applications.
- Quality of Service (QoS): Traffic is intelligently classified and prioritised, ensuring your most important applications always get the bandwidth they need.
- Scalable as you grow: Easily add new sites or increase capacity as your business expands, without rebuilding your network from scratch.
- Ideal for multi-site businesses: Seamlessly connect multiple offices, branches, or data centres under one unified, managed network – simplifying operations and reducing complexity.
If your business depends on reliable, secure connectivity between multiple locations, a Private MPLS WAN is the gold standard – and Fastcom builds and manages them end to end.
Business IP Transit
Your internet connection is the backbone of your business – but not all connectivity is created equal. Fastcom’s Business IP Transit delivers high-performance, reliable internet access built specifically for organisations that can’t afford downtime, congestion or compromised speeds.
Whether you’re a growing business that needs a dedicated, fast connection to the internet, or a carrier or ISP requiring upstream wholesale IP transit, Fastcom has the infrastructure, peering relationships, and expertise to deliver – at scale and at speed. Built on our own custom network, we give you a direct, low-latency path to the global internet with none of the bottlenecks you’d experience on a shared service.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Dedicated, uncontended bandwidth: Your bandwidth is yours – not shared with other customers. Get consistent, predictable speeds at all times, not just off-peak.
- Own network infrastructure: Fastcom’s custom-built network on Extreme Networks Fabric means fewer hops, lower latency and greater resilience than resold products.
- Strong peering & global reach: Our peering relationships provide fast, efficient routing to global destinations, keeping your traffic on the best possible path.

Private APN Mobile 4G/5G Data

Whether you need secure connectivity for remote workers, IoT devices, vehicles, field teams, or failover backup for your fixed-line connection, a Private APN delivers the control, visibility, and security that a standard SIM simply can’t provide.

- Full visibility & control: Manage and monitor all devices on your private APN from a central point with full visibility of data usage, device activity and network health.
