Why network proximity matters
1PBPS editorial · General planning guide
Measure the user journey
Network distance can affect response time. Test realistic paths between your audience and the locations you are considering rather than relying on geography alone.
Look beyond a single number
Latency, jitter, packet loss and throughput describe different aspects of a connection. Measure during busy periods and compare multiple routes.
Design for change
Audience distribution can shift over time. Revisit location choices as your application and users grow.
Turn the guide into a deployment brief.
Compare hardware, select your region and share the requirements that matter.
